The Last of Us Part II shifts control between Ellie and Abby, with a brief playable sequence as Joel at the opening. Players move through abandoned buildings and forests, jumping and climbing to reach new areas or gain an advantage in combat. Firearms, improvised weapons and stealth help them confront hostile humans and creatures infected by a mutated Cordyceps fungus.
Set five years after the first game, the story finds Ellie and Joel living in a survivor community in Jackson, Wyoming. A violent event drives Ellie to hunt those responsible, confronting her with the physical and emotional consequences of her actions.
