After the critically acclaimed success of Naughty Dog's "Last of Us," fans have been asking for a sequel. Previously, creative director Neil Druckmann has been open to a possible sequel. With more time in his hands now, the likelihood of an upcoming sequel may soon be a reality.
Latest reports from the rumor mill may give fans nothing short of horror. As reported by Crossmap, "Last of Us 2" will reportedly have a plot line even more horrifying and heartbreaking than the first.
Moreover, the online media outfit claimed that the sequel will include more psychological horror heightened by more horrifying death scenes. However, it remains to be seen whether it translates to the death of either one of the game's main characters. The rumors are putting fans of the role-playing game in a state of suspense.
As for the original title, the game ended quite well. However, the ending still had rooms for various interpretations. The highly immersive game is largely known for its emotional gameplay with huge emphasis on the storyline development.
Another update from Game N Guide, suggest that some extremely disturbing scenes of "The Last of Us 2" will have to be cut to black. The game developer justifies this by saying that they want to stimulate the players' imagination in creating the characters' death scenes in their minds.
Meanwhile, some TLOU fan-based predictions theorize that the post-apocalyptic role-playing game's next map could be set outside the United States with some reports pointing a possible European setting. This sends fans wondering about the Easter egg found in "Unchartered 4: A Thief's End" showing a poster featuring a pregnant woman wearing a gas mask with a caption that says, "Last of Us: American Daughters." Fans are already imagining about Ellie's mother in a non-American map, Chatt Sports Net reported.
As of now, details remain scarce as to "The Last of Us 2's" release date. Some rumors point to 2018 as the likely launch date. Others suggest an earlier release at next year's E3.
