<\/span><\/p>\n Information on the upcoming release appeared in a now-deleted post<\/a> on 4Chan (via Pink News<\/a>) by an alleged “immediate family member” of staff at Naughty Dog. As with any rumor – particularly one which reared its head on 4Chan – take it with a big grain of salt. But if you don’t want to risk spoilers, then it’s probably better if you don’t read on.<\/p>\n The archived plot leak claims The Last of Us 2 will center around a budding romance between protagonist Ellie and love-interest Dina – a plot point that has already been confirmed by the game’s developers<\/a>. However, this subplot is interrupted by an attack from a religious sect known as the Seraphites, who allegedly view the relationship as sinful.<\/p>\n According to the post, this results in the death of Dina – and, eventually, another major character: Joel. As such, The Last of Us: Part 2 will apparently focus on Ellie’s quest for revenge.<\/p>\n The post also offers some details regarding Ellie’s personal history. According to the writer, a mystery woman seen in the game’s trailer is in fact Ellie’s mom. Additionally, Ellie’s father is said to be a member of the cult who was killed for having a relationship with someone outside of the group.<\/p>\n VG247 has reached out to Naughty Dog for comment.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/assets.vg247.com\/current\/\/2020\/04\/the_last_of_us_part_2a-600x338.png\")
