How do you unlock this secret? It really kind of calmed me down. By this point, Ellie and Tommy have killed pretty much every single one of Abby’s other friends, so some players were upset we got to the end of this grand revenge epic and…Abby walked. Some of the cast and crew think it’s about endurance, survival, fighting on against a world that is trying to kill you. Is it still finding a cure? That’s kind of like life. Johnson said: “She makes the conscious decision at the end of the game to … she leaves again. Johnson and Bailey themselves get to talk about their week spent shooting the scenes of their intense fighting. Click the button below and wait for a message from our Facebook bot in Messenger! When I got to that part in the game, I thought, ‘Is she a better person than Ellie? The theme [and] what we're trying to say shifted a little bit, but our top priority always is are we being honest to the character? Well I am going to have to write a lot of nonsense for about a paragraph here, because it is impossible to go into the meat of this news item without talking about The Last of Us Part 2’s controversial ending, and so I need to post a big spoiler warning here before I really get into things. The Last of Us Part 2 puts you on a grim ride that seems to race toward a depressing destination, and there's nothing you can do but see it out and hope that it doesn't end up being that bad. Who wins? About halfway through production, we changed that and had Ellie let go at the last second to [illustrate] that some little part of the old Ellie, the Ellie with humanity, the Ellie that is impacted by Joel, still exists within this character who has been so overtaken by her quest for revenge.". There’s something kind of poetic about that […] somehow something good came out of that at the end.”. While it isn't required to get the Platinum Trophy for this game, any completionists out there who do so will get this as a reward as part of the process anyway. The Fireflies are trying to regroup; Abby and Lev might reconnect with them, but we don’t know what’s going to happen. In the final episode of The Last of Us Podcast, Neil Druckmann, Halley Gross, Ashley Johnson, Laura Bailey, and Troy Baker went all-in on the sequel’s ending. Gross confirms that “the title screen is an indication of hope,” saying: “Lev and Abby, in the true Naughty Dog way of not spelling it out, maybe they’ve arrived at Catalina, maybe they’ve found the Fireflies, maybe they found community and home. But what does it mean for New Game Plus and where the story goes from here? To say, ‘It happened,’ and come to acceptance of that. Is she going to find happiness?

"But at the end of the day, it felt more honest for the character. This secret version of the credits calls back to one of the game's most memorable scenes. There's certain things we are trying to hit but they can only work if we're consistent with the character we're writing.". Naughty Dog's cast and creative team behind The Last of Us: Part II gather one last time to talk about the game's ending, its defining trait, and its legacy The 1.05 update only went live on Thursday, but Twitter user @BeingHuman1993 discovered that if the player beats the game on Grounded mode — which makes enemies deadlier and resources very scarce — they'll hear Joel sing Pearl Jam's "Future Days" in its entirety over the credits. You can listen to the full episode at the link — and I highly recommend that you do — but our highlights follow below: Druckmann, on the question of responsibility of storytellers — is it fan service, morally just stories, etc. Saving humanity wasn’t in the cards, killing Abby wasn’t a solution to “the hurt she felt from [Abby] killing Joel”, so now she needs something else. I think that’s the hope, but also leaving some mystery. So, who made the call? In order to hear Joel sing all of "Future Days," players must beat the game on the Grounded difficulty. Baker doesn’t think so: “I try to think of a better word, but the word I keep coming back to is a story of Redemption.

And yet of course many wished that this was simply more of a traditional revenge tale and Ellie killed Abby as “justice” for Joel. You can finally hear Joel sing Pearl Jam's "Future Days" in its entirety. Johnson cuts to the heart of the matter when it comes to empathizing with Abby after learning about her entire life leading up to the murder of Joel and the decision to let Ellie live: “I think she realizes quicker than Ellie that the hate has to stop somewhere, and she’s done. There is a new trophy attached to beating The Last of Us Part 2 on Grounded difficulty called "Dig Two Graves." — quoted Robert McKee, who said, “In a world of lies and liars, an honest work of art is always an act of social responsibility.” (Story: Substance, Structure, Style, and the Principles of Screenwriting).

Follow me on Twitter, YouTube and Instagram. If Abby didn’t spare Ellie and just went to Santa Barbara with Lev, she would be dead, she would be dead on that post. And once upon a time, it was totally different. kind of wipe each other out in that final fight on the island; I’m sure there will be survivors, but it’s not going to be the groups that they were before.

It makes the ending feel more human, more relatable.” So who knows what’s next for the franchise. But it didn’t. And that’s not life […] The Seraphites and the W.L.F. Ellie’s going to go off on her own; Is she going to be okay? We never hear Joel finish the song anytime after that cutscene.

It starts off with a simple motorboat moored at a rotten post in heavy fog, a screen which changes at the end of the game to that same boat on the beach in Santa Barbara. Gross goes on to say that, “No one’s story is finished. Opinions expressed by Forbes Contributors are their own.

Jackson for now is fine, but who knows what happens in the future.

Bailey says it all worked because of the high level of trust they have in each other, a relationship she extends to Baker, too. And why Catalina?”. Ellie not killing her prevents her from becoming a true monster in my eyes and starting on the road to healing, and it felt like the right decision. I have repeatedly said that my own personal view is that the ending is perfect, and that it would have been a way worse finish had Ellie actually killed Abby. That’s them fighting each other on that beach. And the game is better for it, though that will be debated until The Last of Us Part 3 in 2025, I’m guessing. I write about video games, television, movies and the internet. The Last of Us Part II already has an emotional and provocative ending, but with the introduction of a new Grounded difficulty mode, Naughty Dog has added a bit of a secret ending that could leave some players in tears. Druckmann weighs in on what he wants people to get out of the experience once they’re done with the game: “I hope it sticks with them. But the biggest revelation of all is how the ending of the game changed over time. There’s a curious bit of The Last of Us: Part II that’s actually outside the gameplay itself, and that’s the menu screen. Both Grounded and this new credits secret were added in the massive July 13 update. It’s sad. I don’t want to do this.

The Last of Us Part II is available now for PS4.
