The Last of Us Part II is one of the most anticipated PlayStation 4 exclusives, but we haven't heard much from Naughty Dog or Sony Interactive in recent months. We last saw the game during Sony's E3 2018 presentation which featured
11-minutes of brutal gameplay. But with still no release date and Sony skipping E3 2019, it's unclear when we'll officially see more of the game.
In the meantime, we have social media and whatever creative director Neil Druckmann chooses to share with us. Today, he posted a behind the scenes shot of Ashley Johnson (who plays Ellie) and Shannon Woodward (who plays Dina, Ellie's love interest). The two are dressed in their motion capture outfits and Johnson is sitting on a bench playing guitar. But it's what we don't know about the shot that has us intrigued, especially with Druckmann's comments.
"Killer shoot this week, including one of the most complicated and heart wrenching scene we’ve ever worked on," Druckmann said about the photo.
It's no secret that
The Last of Us Part II will feature emotional moments. Anyone who played the first game can attest to that. But it's impossible to tell exactly what makes this particular scene the "most complicated" and "heart wrenching" one that Naughty Dog has worked on. There are numerous possibilities and, unfortunately, most of my theories have to do with someone dying or about to die or already dead; but, that would seem too obvious, right?
The Last of Us Part II will be released for PlayStation 4, but does not yet have a release date.
