One of the most highly-anticipated games of 2020 is The Last of Us Part II. Since its announcement in 2016, both Sony and Naughty Dog have kept tight-lipped about its story and how it’ll play, only offering brief looks of how it’s shaping up. However, that veil has once again lifted thanks to a new trailer and preview event that allowed us our first hands-on time with the game.
The latest trailer alluded in more detail to Ellie’s motivations in The Last of Us Part II. There were also glimpses of her relationship with her companion Dina, as well as shots of the infected. However, the biggest reveal was returning protagonist, Joel, who seems like he’ll be helping Ellie through her journey.
While it was great being able to see a little more of the game in action in the new trailer, we actually got to play it. You probably have plenty of questions about Ellie and Joel, how weapon upgrades work, or how companions have improved. We won’t have all the answers until the game releases, but we’ll have some insight to offer in our The Last of Us Part II preview.
