• The Last of Us Part 2 once had a slightly different ending for Ellie

The story of The Last of Us Part 2 has been the subject of countless discussions, but according to creative director and head writer Neil Druckmann and Halley Gross, the story was originally a bit different when it comes to the story where he leaves Ellie. Speaking on the Script Apart podcast, Gross explained that originally, the final scene of Ellie looking through the abandoned farmhouse once featured a section where Ellie found a toy of Dina's baby. Ellie then took the toy and put it in her backpack before leaving. While this scene certainly took a more positive turn at the end, it was also more definitive, which clashed with the tone Naughty Dog was going for, which was to leave the ending more open to interpretation.

Do you watch The Last of Us on PS5?

According to recent reports, the original The Last of Us is being redesigned for the PS5. This may be accompanied by an updated PS5 version of The Last of Us Part 2, though it's important to note that nothing has been officially announced yet. Naughty Dog is also believed to be working on a remake of the original game's Factions mode, though it's unclear if this will be a standalone game or a PS5 compilation. Looking further afield, Druckmann confirmed that there is a basic story plan for The Last of Us Part 3, but that doesn't mean the game will necessarily get made. There is also an upcoming show on HBO that will adapt the games story, though some things may change.
