The Last of Us: Part II is currently in development for the PS4, and features Ellie in the lead role. Sony debuted an impressively gory demo of the sequel during its E3 'deep dive' showcase in the early hours of Tuesday morning.
While there's no release date knocking around yet, Naughty Dog has confirmed that The Last of Us: Part II will bring back the Factions multiplayer mode seen its predecessor.
