The Playstation Experience just ended, and the final trailer was the reveal ofThe Last of Us part II.
We all kinda knew it was coming, seeing as TLoU was a huge hit, and with Naughty Dog having laid Uncharted to rest (apart from the story DLC, which was also just revealed) this is their only sure-fire franchise.
I'm also sure most people expected Ellie and probably Joel to return. For as much as people have claimed this universe could have other stories to tell, it's these two characters that formed the heart of the game. And they're likely never going to find an onscreen duo with as much chemistry.
It seems my most optimistic predictions have come true, in that we're probably going to control an older Ellie, with Joel likely as the companion character. It would be a catastrophic mistake should we play as Joel again with Ellie tagging along. Joel's story is after all done, while Ellie's still has places to go.
Be that as it may, I'm filled more with a sense of 'Oh dear, how are they gonna mess this up?' than I am with 'Wow, I can't wait to see what happens next.' So yeah... anxious.
