Massive spoilers for the Sony flagship title The Last of Us Part 2 has been leaked online. After the game’s release was delayed indefinitely due to the coronavirus, fans have been pretty angry – this is likely to be the result of that. Given the quality of the footage, all the leaked details below are probably correct. If you don’t want to be spoiled, it is best to back away right now.
The source of the footage is unclear – however, it is very likely that they came from an angry employee from Naughty Dog itself, as the content seems to be part of a developer build of the game. These spoiler footages are likely to be flooded all over the internet pretty soon.
Multiple new scenes from the game were shown, including a romantic scene between the main character Ellie and her love interest, Dina. This was followed by one of the largest spoilers yet – Ellie found Joel getting viciously attacked by bandits, who immediately capture and restrain her. It is very likely that this would be Joel’s death scene, kicking off the entire plot and the general “revenge” theme of the game. The first scene can be found here. The second scene with Joel's death can be found here.
The two videos were originally leaked from a Reddit thread, which was silenced by Sony’s legal team afterward. From all the footage gathered, it appears that The Last of Us 2 will be a lot darker than its prequel. The conflict is likely to be about humans instead of zombies, as every leak to date has pointed to that destination.
