‘The Last Of Us 2’ Rumors, Update: Ellie Likely To Find Love In Game Sequel; Female Lead Pregnant?
Game developer Naughty Dog has been very secretive about its upcoming, highly anticipated franchise installment "The Last of Us 2." Due to the odd silence with the title's contents or details, fans have now turned their attention to the rumor mill. And some speculations have suggested that Ellie, the female lead of the franchise, may find her love interest in the sequel.
Naughty Dog creative director, Neil Druckmann, revealed some interesting ideas that fans should look forward to in "The Last of Us 2." On his talk during the PlayStation Experience in December 2016, he hinted out that another player is going to be introduced, GameSpot reported. Unfortunately, he did not disclose any important details about this mysterious character. But many believe this could be Ellie's love interest in the sequel.
One reason why is probably due to her hatred, which was the main highlight of "The Last of Us 2" teaser trailer. She is driven by hate, telling the man who was with her that she will kill each and every one of the yet to be named antagonists. This has led many fans to speculate that her lover has been killed and she's out for vengeance.
Another theory that is popular right now for "The Last of Us 2" suggests Ellie could also be pregnant. Mic reported that the reason why she was playing the guitar in the teaser was to hide her bulging belly. As to how she got pregnant, though, the speculations believe it happened either by her own choice through insemination or by force.
The latter may sound reasonable, considering that she is angry in the trailer for "The Last of Us 2." It also does explain why she is out for vengeance. But whatever the case is, it's important for the fans to take this with a tiny pinch of salt. Better yet, it's advisable to wait for further news coming from Naughty Dog about Ellie's future in the sequel before jumping to conclusion.
