Yara is sixteen years old and Lev is thirteen years old.īailey also performed all the stunts for her character in the trailer during the performance capture shoot. Lev and Yara are siblings, and the in-game models of the characters are a blend of the features of both actors to convey that idea. Ian Alexander plays Lev, Victoria Grace plays Yara, and Laura Bailey plays the unnamed character that was getting hanged.įor both Alexander and Grace, this is the first time doing performance capture and stunts for a video game. I know you will.Ībout the trailer from Paris Games Week (that got some pundits screaming in indignation due to its perfectly fitting violence), we saw the introduction of new members of the cast that play the new characters that appeared in it. Interestingly, Druckmann dropped a cryptic hint, saying that after the first day on the job, Gross went home and told her husband “I think I got someone pregnant.” I have no idea of what that means, but you can try and interpret it. For the demo, Ellie crafted an explosive arrow and used it to smear an enemy across the shop as a thick red paste.įor more on The Last Of Us, be sure to check out our review of The Last Of Us Remastered.Gross, who wrote mostly for Television before starting on the game, mentioned that writing for The Last of Us Part II is “daunting” as a fan of the series.
The crafting system is expanded, with plenty of options. This seems like a mechanic too, not a cutscene, possibly an action you have to do to replenish health or use health items. A few minutes later, after reaching safety, she yanks it out of her arm. The action seems to be a little more realistic here, with Ellie literally pulling an arrow out of a corpse to stuff in her quiver. In the original game, when you picked up ammo and arrows, it was quick movement, with the character stuffing ammo laying neatly on the ground in their pockets. In one scene, Ellie grabs a foe and uses them as an arrow shield in a way that suggests this is a mechanic you can do throughout the game. The brutality of combat from the first game is enhanced here, with bone-crunching blows from hammers and axes cutting through necks, spraying the area in blood. 
Though this can obviously change before release, the UI and menus from the first game look to be the same here as far as health and the quick-access menu go. At one point, Ellie runs through grass, picks up a bottle mid-spring and throws it at a foe's face, shattering it and making them miss their shot. This happens not as a cutscene but as a direct action from the player. At one point, Ellie crawls under a truck, using it to hide. They whistle to one another and have search patterns that aren't easy to read when they're searching for Ellie. These foes, apparently cultists of some kind, seem smarter than the already smart enemies from the original game. 
After a brief dance and some liplocking between Ellie and Dena, the game cuts away to a different scene, probably ahead in time, with Ellie stalking and avoiding enemies in a swampy area. Jesse refers to Ellie's "old man" at one point, implying that Joel is alive at this point in the story. She has a friend named Jesse and a romantic interest named Dina/Dena. It's not quite clear how much older, but she seems to be an adult now. When the scene opens, we see an older Ellie. With that out of the way, here's everything we noticed from the trailer:
