Next June, Naughty’s masterpiece will already celebrate its tenth anniversary. In the space of a decade, the Californian studio has worked on reissues, on a sequel and has even punctuated the first adventure of Ellie and Joel with a DLC exploring the past of the young survivor. However, there are still gray areas about Ellie’s young years: an error that the HBO series should correct, especially about a very specific character who is oddly absent from the game and the DLC.

The creator of The Last of Us evokes a very important character
Currently in full promotion of the series The Last of Us, broadcast across the Atlantic on the HBO channel and on Amazon Prime Video in France, Neil Druckmann, co-creator of the Naughty Dog franchise, easily lends itself to the game of questions and answers . If it was planned to discuss the series with the Variety site, the co-president of the Californian development studio, on the contrary, spoke about a detail of the original video game. As everyone knows, eight months after the release of The Last of Us on PS3, Naughty Dog has enhanced its story with additional content, called “Left Behind”. Basically, we follow Ellie there, some time before she meets Joel, who walks through a deserted shopping center with her friend Riley. However, what the young girls do not know is that this expedition will turn their lives upside down.
As it stands, this is the only additional content the Naughty Dog teams have added to The Last of Us experience.. Same The Last of Us Part II was not entitled to this preferential treatment. And again, it was originally planned to develop other DLCs for the first part, as Neil Druckmann said at the microphone of the Variety site. Unfortunately, the idea was abandoned, which could not be more damaging as the idea of this second DLC was interesting since it aimed… to reveal Ellie’s mother to us.. Joel may have had the opportunity to play surrogate fathers for the young survivor, we know little about Ellie’s real parents. If you want to fill in the gaps, you might have to watch the HBO series!
If he didn’t appear in a DLC, the HBO series will fix it very quickly

We had to wait a few more hours before launching episode 1 of The Last of Us on Amazon Prime Video. As for the result, it surpasses the expectations of viewers who gave it a triumphant welcome. One, because it faithfully adapts the universe imagined by Druckmann and Straley andof two, because he even allows himself to innovate in his story to better surprise us in front of our screens. Thanks to this, the series will be able to stage elements unexplored by the series of games.
In the line of fire, we find Ellie’s mother. We have already been able to see it furtively in the trailer for the seriesand it is not just any actress who lent her features since c’est Ashley Johnson (the actress who directed the motion-capture of Ellie’s character in the games) who is responsible for embodying it on the screens. This is not the only cameo that we could discover in the series: it will therefore be necessary to keep an eye out! Always with Variety, Neil Druckmann has revealed when we can catch a glimpse of him : SpoilShowHideThe meeting with Anna, Ellie’s mother, will take place at the end of the first season.
