Paris Playstation week gave one helluva surprise with the release of a new GORY The Last of Us Part 2 trailer.

Interestingly enough, we’re offered a look at a violent situation with three new characters, the same creepy people like in the first game and a couple of zombies.

Watch the new The Last of Us Part 2 trailer

Couple of questions though.

Where’s Joel? Where’s Ellie?

Both protagonists are absent for this gore-fest of a trailer. I really did think that we were looking at a really grown up Ellie but that’s not her.

Who are the Asians?

There were two other characters that made an appearance here. One got vicious mauled, probably gonna lose her arm after getting away from all the chaos and another guy that’s really good with the arrows. It seems like they’ve allied themselves with the mystery girl after managing to kill the zealots.

Again Where’s Joel and Ellie?

We know from this trailer that the two are alright. But at which point in the overall story is this happening?

UPDATE: Naughty Dog is playing coy about the identity of the woman who almost got hanged. It’s pretty much a yes/no comment:

At its core, The Last of Us Part II is still very much about Ellie and Joel, but for this reveal, we wanted to showcase several new characters that are integral to their next journey. We’re sure you have many questions after watching this scene. We’re also pretty sure that we’re going to see all sorts of theories about whom these characters are, where and when this scene takes place, and how all of this fits into Ellie and Joel’s next story. For now we’re keeping mum, but we’re excited to see what y’all make of this piece of the puzzle.

No release date for The Last of Us Part 2 but its definitely being pegged for a 2018 release!
