After a rather long wait, the first trailer for The Last of Us Season 2 has been released, making the fans superhyped for the upcoming series. However, looking at how game-accurate this series has been, people speculate that we might witness Joel’s death in The Last of Us Season 2. So, are there any hints pointing towards this direction in the trailer? Let’s find that out in this article!
Some Scenes in the Trailer Suggest Joel’s Death in Last of Us Season 2
The trailer for The Last of Us Season 2 features certain scenes that point towards the potential death of Joel. First, the scene where Abby is stuck under the fence is when Joel and Tommy rescue her from the hoard. However, following that incident, when Abby finds out about Joel’s identity, she kills him off with a golf club by beating him to death which might happen in The Last of Us Season 2.
In another scene we see Joel sitting on a chair with the guitar while Ellie is looking at him. This scene is similar to Ellie’s flashback, when she is just about to kill Abby, once again pointing toward Joel’s death in The Last of Us 2.
In the game, Joel’s death happens in the very first act so we might get to see Joel die in the first few episodes of The Last of Us Season 2 itself while the rest of the episodes will follow Ellie’s revenge arc just as it did in the game. This death is probably one of the most emotional deaths in the history of video games so far, HBO has massive expectations to live up to if it is going to happen. With that being said, let’s wait till the series is released, and till then, stay tuned with us for further updates.
The Last of Us Season 2 will premiere in 2025; the exact release date has not been announced officially.
