Now all Naughty Dog needs to do is announce an actual release date for The Last Of Us 2. At least there’s the return of Factions to whet our appetites. It just might be that gamers will have to wait for the actual game to come out to see him. While a game centering on Ellie is certainly enough of a draw on its own (her love life is already making waves), the story does have to address Joel at some point. The minds behind it have every reason to hide Joel’s role in the game if it’s related to a plot twist.

But what of Joel, the first game’s protagonist? He appeared briefly in the initial trailer but was nowhere to be found in the footage shown at E3. Those following the The Last Of Us 2 have known since its reveal that Ellie is taking the spotlight in the game’s story.
