What Is The Last Of Us 2?
Gamers rejoice! The Last Of Us is returning to our PlayStations in just a few hours – on June 19!
The sequel to the titanic video game of the 2010s is on the brink of release. The origin PlayStation exclusive game, which came out in 2013, was an action-adventure survival horror game about a post-apocalyptic world. But unlike other zombie stories, The Last Of Us is based on a fungi disease leading to a mushroom infested zombie apocalypse. And within that world, players follow the unlikely duo of smuggler Joel and disease immune Ellie.
But now, seven years later, Joel and Ellie are returning for a sequel game. In-game, it has also been several years later and the teenaged Ellie is a grown woman now. She’s established herself within a colony of surviving humans and fallen in love with one of the other women in the community. But thanks to a violent altercation with a rival community, Ellie’s world is shaken.
