I also have a crazy theory that something’s up with his face. It’s a smart way for Naughty Dog to pique our interest. The longer they hold off on showing him, the hungrier we are to know what’s really going on. Of course we’re all going to perk up every time we see something new about the game, because there’s a chance we could be getting our first real look at Joel. But why would the developers choose to keep him hidden for this long when he’s such an important part of the series?įor one thing, it’s a way to build suspense. We know now that’s not true-in the new trailer, Ellie’s friend Jesse referred to him as her “old man,” mentioning that Joel lectured him about keeping Ellie safe when they go out on patrols. But given that we never got a good look at his face, theories emerged that he was actually dead. We got one such glimpse in the announcement trailer for Part II back in December of 2016, when he emerged out of a doorway shrouded in light.
And as much as we love seeing Ellie all grown up and taking after his brutally violent ways, at the back of our minds we’re all hoping for the next glimpse of Joel. While it was both gorgeous and brutal, and showed us a bunch of new gameplay mechanics the sequel is introducing, a lack of the previous entry’s main playable character left many of us wondering: where is Joel?We played as Ellie for a stint in Part I, but Joel was the main focus of the story. The Last of Us Part II may still be a ways off, but we did get a nice new look at the game last week with the new E3 trailer. This post contains spoilers for The Last of Us.
