Naughty Dog’s Neil Druckmann has admitted that The Last Of Us Part 2 is not going to please all fans, following the leak of the game’s plot.
As soon as the major plot points behind The Last Of Us Part 2 leaked (there are no spoilers in that link) fans were divided on whether Naughty Dog’s approach for the sequel was a good one or not.
Although the final story trailer was released last week, Naughty Dog has started a new series of videos discussing the games and in the first one creative director Neil Druckmann acknowledges the issues and claims the studio has been prepared for a backlash.
‘I’m thinking this one might be more divisive than the first game in a very kind of exciting way that I think raises those interesting, philosophical questions and asks the players to interpret some of the material that’s there, and see where they stand on those questions’, he says.
The story trailer doesn’t make it clear what the plot is really about, so you should feel free to watch it if you’re wary of spoilers, but all along Naughty Dog has said the game’s main themes are ‘hate’ and the cycle of violence.
Although some fans have reacted very negatively towards the revelations there’s no sign so far that it will impact game sales, with pre-orders still extremely healthy as the release date creeps closer.
Although Sony made a lot of fuss about delaying the game from its original 29 May release date, due to the coronavirus, in the end the delay was a mere three weeks.
The game has now gone gold, meaning it’s been completed and physical copes sent off for manufacturing – so there’s now no chance of further delay or any changes to the story.
The Last Of Us Part 2 will be released as a PlayStation 4 exclusive on 19 June.
