The Last of Us Part 2 story trailer shows us brutal combat and a whole lot of new faces

The Last of Us Part 2 has been in the news for all the wrong reasons these past few weeks. From the story on the crunch culture at the development studio to the recent leaks about the climax of the Last of Us Part 2, it has been a bad time. However, it looks like all that will soon be behind us as the Last of Us Part 2 releases in 43 days - 19 June 2020. Why don't you watch the trailer below first before reading on. 

The trailer opens up showing Ellie from the first game and shows us a bit of her growing up. She is then out with Joel on what looks like a scavenging mission and they are having a heart to heart about something. What exactly is left a bit ambiguous. Later we see a village burning and the same scene from previous trailers where Ellie is begging someone to stop. What follows is a montage of shots from various environments to some slick action sequences and even Ellie stitching up her wounds. We also get to see the dark side of Ellie, and how far she will go to take revenge. 

There are a host of new characters as well in the trailer and it looks like you, the player, will encounter many new people in your journey. The trailer ends with Ellie striking someone in rage. The trailer looks like it highlights the transformation of Ellie. From being a child in a camp to one filled with rage and revenge. Moving to the dark side, so to speak. We have seen the gameplay of the Last of Us 2 in action in the past so we know it is filled with brutal combat. If the previous trailers are anything to go by, then this will be a game with intense combat. We can't wait to get our hands on this one. You can always let us know what you thought of this trailer!
