![]() ![]() It’s so significant to the story because Riley is her best friend – this is a really important side of Ellie that people need to see. How much of a challenge was it to hit re-set and play a younger, more innocent Ellie who’s yet to experience the traumatic events of The Last of Us?Īshley Johnson: It was a bit of a challenge to set aside everything we’d gone through, but when Yaani got on board she was just so fun and so silly that it sort of brought out my own kid-like tendencies too. ![]() You’ll just have to play it and find out! There’s a lot you’ll find out about Ellie. Is this something we’ll learn more about? In the original campaign, Ellie mentions being bitten by one of the Infected while with Riley. You’ll engage in combat that seems familiar from the original campaign, but there are some new touches and nuances too. You’re really getting a new sense of the environment. Definitely not a normal hangout! It’s very different – a little more playful. It’s kind of like a post-pandemic version of two teenage girls hanging out. It’s a little bit more ‘fun’, because you have two teenage girls going through a mall. How does the ‘feel’ of the Left Behind campaign and the game universe differ to The Last of Us?Īshley Johnson: It’s definitely different. You’re going to see a lot of different sides to the character that you definitely didn’t see in The Last of Us. You’ll definitely see a more playful side to Ellie and get to know her a bit better. She’s in the quarantine zone prior to the events of The Last of Us – it’s her and her best friend Riley – what they do and how they live their lives in this world.

Read on to find out more about where the new chapter takes the character. We’ll be revealing much more about what to expect from Left Behind later this week, but to whet your appetite I sat down with actress Ashley Johnson, who so brilliantly brings Ellie to life. Acting as a prequel of sorts, the add-on will centre around Ellie and her best friend Riley (played by newcomer Yaani King) as they attend a military boarding school in the Boston quarantine zone, prior to meeting Joel and the events in the main campaign of The Last of Us. As announced in November last year, Naughty Dog is currently hard at work on Left Behind – a new single player story expansion for its hugely acclaimed PS3 adventure The Last of Us. ![]()
