The Last of Us Part 2 gets new story information

Naughty Dog and PlayStation have revealed new details about the upcoming game The Last of Us Part II.

In The Last of Us Part II, Ellie is now 19 and has found a semblance of peace and normality living in Jackson. When that peace is disrupted by a violent act, Ellie is thrust into a journey of retribution, fueled by a need to bring those that have wronged her to justice.

Naughty Dog say they have overhauled the engine, developed new combat mechanics, created a new analog stealth system, and revamped the animation system for the sequel. The environments are said to be broader, more complex, and more detailed. The human enemies you’ll encounter are now more threatening and capable, using sophisticated communication and environmental awareness.

The Last of Us Part II features new and returning characters. This week at E3, Ellie, played by Ashley Johnson, is joined by two new characters: Dina, played by Shannon Woodward, and Jesse, played by Stephen Chang.

The Last of Us Part II is coming exclusively to PS4, and does not currently have a release window.
