“The Last of Us Part 2” still doesn’t have a release date despite game director Neil Druckmann announcing last month that considerable progress has been made on the sequel. Now, that statement has been further solidified as co-game director Anthony Newman said they’re looking for people that will help them close out the final stages of development.
“Lot of awesome positions open to help us close out this game... I especially want to highlight the Melee Animator position, I guarantee you will be working on some *dope* animations working with my good friend @Leethul,” Newman said in a tweet. While this may be good news for some, it appears that there’s still work that’s needed to be done in “The Last of Us Part 2.”
As such, it could be months before the sequel is finally ready. Rumors surrounding “The Last of Us Part 2” has been increasing recently, with most touting that it will come out in the tail end of 2019. Of course, given that Naughty Dog itself hasn’t announced anything yet, it’s best to take these claims with a grain of salt.
Regarding what to expect in “The Last of Us Part 2,” players will now be playing as Ellie with her mission geared towards revenge. It’s still unclear what’s the exact reason for the young woman’s hatred, but clues are hinting it may be due to Dina’s death.
As for who’s responsible for the murder, it appears that the Seraphites – the main antagonist of “The Last of Us Part 2” – is behind the incident. The sequel has been met with overwhelming positivity from the gaming community following its announcement back in 2016. This isn’t surprising given that the first entry is considered one of the best games to ever hit the market.
It would be interesting to see if “The Last of Us Part 2” can surpass its predecessor in terms of popularity and sales performance. But given the hype surrounding the title and the game itself looking gorgeous and immersive, there’s a high chance it will set a new record for Naughty Dog once it gets released.
