In another interview, game director Neil Druckmann also confirmed that Naughty Dog shall be focusing on time jumps in the storylines of its next games.
While he did not specifically mention that such plot is going to be part of “The Last of Us 2,” some gamers and critics took it to mean that the new story may have something to do with the sequel to “The Last of Us.”
In fact, there have been reports that came out subsequently saying that it could actually feature game characters going back and forth through time to fix the problems that are ailing the world in the game.
Accordingly, there will be a number of characters in the upcoming video game that will head back into the past to try and change things so that the infection would not happen.
But it was only up to that point that Druckmann made the revelation, refusing to further divulge details.
Some gamers believe that the plotline of “The Last of Us 2” will most likely feature both the past and future gameplay.
After time-travelling into the past, the characters may then return to the future to observe the effects of what they did in the past. It is possible that they could go back again in the past if they see that the future did not have a positive impact.
