New Information

Synopsis
Five years have passed since the dangerous journey across the United States, which has been transformed by a mysterious infectious explosion.
Ellie and Joel are living in Jackson, Wyoming.
A community of survivors is growing steadily,
They seemed to have regained their peace and tranquility.
Of course, there are many dangers.
There are, of course, many dangers: the infected and others - other survivors in dire straits.
And when one tremendous event disrupts the peace, Ellie's merciless journey begins again.
To bring them to justice and put an end to it all.
One by one, Ellie hunts down her targets, and what does she find?
What she discovers is a gruesome chain of events created by her own actions that shocks her mind and body.

A complex and emotionally charged story
Ellie's ruthless quest for revenge creates and intensifies conflicts with various forms of justice and morality. The cycle of violence that ensues will shake and swallow up any thoughts you may have had about what is right and what is wrong. What is right and what is wrong? Who is righteous and who is evil? Who is the hero and who is the villain?


A world full of beauty and danger
Ellie's journey takes her from the peaceful mountains and forests of Jackson to the green ruins of the greater Seattle area. New groups of survivors, dangerous environments in unfamiliar lands, and highly mutated infectees await. Brought to life by the latest engine from developer Naughty Dog, the "enemy" and the world they live in have never been more realistic or dangerously detailed.


Tense, deadly action and survival
An advanced new gameplay system takes you on a deadly journey through a world full of enemies. New systems such as dense melee combat, fluid chains of movement, and dynamic stealth will make you feel Ellie's struggle to stay alive. In addition, you can build Ellie's equipment to suit your own style with a variety of weapons, crafting, skills, and upgrades.
