Attention! Below are the plot spoilers for The Last of Us Part II. If you have not played this game yet and plan to do so in the near future, it is better to refrain from reading this news note and the comments below it.
Of course, the interview was about death. Joel, the protagonist of the original The last of us, from the hands of a new heroine – Abby Anderson, a soldier of the paramilitary group WLF. In pursuit of her own goals, Abby catches Joel by surprise, shoots him off the knee, and then brutally beats him with a golf club found nearby.
The scene mentioned above leaked online a few weeks before the release of The Last of Us Part II and caused a huge amount of hype online. At the same time, the aforementioned stick turned into a separate Internet meme – with its help, many users tried to hint at the murder of Joel with Abby’s hands.
As it turned out, the presence of a golf club in the scene was not accidental at all. With her at Neela Druckmann one unpleasant childhood memory is connected, which the developer decided to find reflected in his game…
“I myself have never been fond of golf. And no one asked me about it before. But my friend liked this sport. And somehow he called me to the court for the company. He wanted to show me how to play correctly. I stood behind him. , and when he pulled the club back after swinging, I received a strong blow to the head. There was a lot of blood. “, – says Neil Druckmann.
Druckmann admits that the injury was really serious – the developer had to put 30 stitches, and there is still a noticeable scar on his head… The incident occurred at the age of 16.
Moreover, in the very The Last of Us Part II the idea with the club did not come immediately. According to the original scenario, Abby wielded a large knife, but this idea was abandoned because the team felt that sharp blades were more associated with Ellie.
“In the original sketches, Abby stabbed Joel in the back with a knife, and then rolled the blade to immobilize him. But the knives are more about Ellie. It seemed to us that the blade was worth exchanging for something else,” the developer admits.
After the release of The Washington Post, Druckmann jokingly wrote on Twitter that he was now waiting for messages from haters on Reddit that he had problems with his head.
“I’ve been trying to get people to this for years,” The Last of Us scriptwriter Halle Gross jokingly replied to Druckmann.
