The director of the video game retweets a follower and points out more similar situations or winks from the first part in the sequel.

Few remember the world before, before the epidemic, death and the infected. The Last of Us Part 2 tells the story of Ellie, just a few years after the events we experienced in the first installment. However, according to its director, Neil Druckmann, the connections between both video games will be present, not only woven by the plot, but also by the images.

A follower on Twitter has published several comparative photos between the two video games, which show very similar situations. “The Last of Us at the beginning of the decade; The Last of Us at the end of the decade, ”says the original tweet. According to the head of the project, which retweets that same tweet, the prints that are presented are not the only family members that we will enjoy during the game. "It's not the only parallel between both games," confirms Druckmann.

The multiplayer project is not canceled

What will not have the new chapter of the franchise will be the promised multiplayer mode, which is not ruled not much less. However, it will be launched as an independent experience. Efforts to create a multi-player experience has resulted in the publication of several job offers aimed at creating this modality. "In our goal of increasing our team, we are looking for programmers focused on implementing technologies to manage this online experience," they requested.

The Last of Us Part 2 was scheduled for February 2020, but shortly after announcing the release date, Naughty Dog issued a statement informing that the game would be delayed a few months. The reasons they used were basically that they needed more time to complete the development in the way they wanted, that is, polished to the fullest. Thus, the title for PlayStation 4 will come to light, finally, on May 29.
