Set five years after 2013’s The Last of Us, players will take on the role of a 19-year-old Ellie, who must contend with a mysterious Christian cult in a post-apocalyptic United States, with large portions of the game set in Seattle.
The game has players wielding firearms, utilizing stealth, and utilizing improvised weapons to fight against hostile humans and cannibalistic creatures that have been infected by the Cordyceps fungus.
According to Director and Writer Neil Druckmann:
