Ellie’s immunity to the virus has kept her from being one of the people who got infected and mutated into zombie-like creatures.
The speculations are rife that the game could finally be released in 2018 although Naughty Dog has yet to confirm or deny the rumors.
There shall also be tremendous pressure on “The Last of Us 2” since its predecessor is a critically-acclaimed action-adventure survival horror game which generated positive reviews from both gamers and critics for its graphics, storytelling, characters, and gameplay.
Bruce Straley, one of the directors of “The Last of Us,” has reportedly brainstormed ideas for the title of the sequel and its plot, some of which have already made the rounds on the internet.
According to one of these plot speculations, Joel will be killed while Ellie will go on some kind of adventure and she will be all alone.
Incidentally, the poster in the epilogue of “Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End” also featured a ‘Dark Horse Comics’ logo at the bottom. It can be recalled that both Naughty Dog and Dark Horse Comics have previously partnered in some of their game undertakings.
Such kind of teases is nothing new especially if it comes from Naughty Dog, which is known in the gaming community for leaving Easter eggs and hints in its upcoming games.
