In an interview with GameSpot, co-director Anthony Newman said, “There was so much we really wanted to explore in terms of player strategy. In our previous feature, we spoke about how there will be different skill trees and deeper progression mechanics to engage with, but what’s also worth pointing out is that, with the combination of the deeper progression tools and better weapon customization options, Naughty Dog really want to emphasize player choice during gameplay. What’s just as exciting is that the developers are also looking to make similar leaps over the first game in terms of gameplay- more specifically, with the progression mechanics. That The Last of Us Part 2 is promising impressive leaps forward in tech and storytelling isn’t that surprising, given that it’s being made by Naughty Dog. So when they’re co-ordinating with each other to look for Ellie during stealth sections, they’ll use each other’s names in conversation, and if one of them dies, they’ll call out their name in anguish. For instance, every single enemy NPC you kill in the game will have his or her unique name. Some of these, in fact, are going to work toward making you feel the impact of the aforementioned violence.
Naughty Dog have always been known for stuffing ridiculous amounts of tiny details into their games, and that’s something they’re doing in The Last of Us Part 2 as well. “Hate” is going to be a central theme in Ellie’s quest for revenge, and how far she is willing to go to get what she wants, and the violence that will take centerstage in both the story and the gameplay itself is something that Naughty Dog are using to build up that theme even further. According to the developers, that’s not just for shock value. The trailers for The Last of Us Part 2 that Naughty Dog have shown off so far have all had very dark and sinister tones, and something that’s stood out in each of them is the amount of messy, brutal violence on display. The exact details of how much Ellie knows and what exactly happened between the two are still unknown, but it should be interesting to see how it all plays out. According to Naughty Dog, when The Last of Us Part 2 picks up five years after the events of the first game, Ellie knows that Joel lied to her about the Fireflies and what happened with them, and their relationship, as a result, is somewhat strained. Many of those questions are going to be answered in the sequel. The Last of Us ended at a very curious point, and left a lot up in the air as far as Ellie, Joel, and their relationship are concerned. Two more characters who have been revealed through trailers are Yara and her brother Lev, but not much else has been said about them or what role they will play in the story. There’s Jessie, another survivor from Jackson County, who seems to be friends with Ellie and Dinah. There’s Dinah, another survivor living in Jackson County and Ellie’s friend, who, if pre-release coverage is anything to go by, might not stick around for long. So with that said, let’s jump right in.Īnd once more, you don’t need to worry about any spoilers in this feature.Įllie and Joel are obviously going to be the stars of the show in The Last of Us Part 2, while other familiar faces like Tommy (and presumably Maria) will also be returning, but the game will also be introducing plenty of new characters, some of whom have already been revealed. In this feature, that’s exactly what we’ll be doing, as we talk about fifteen more details from Naughty Dog’s upcoming info you need to know about.
Recently, we went over some of the biggest talking points from the game, but given how massive a release this is, it goes without saying that there’s still plenty more left to talk about. With The Last of Us Part 2 less than a month away from release, the excitement surrounding its launch is palpable.
