They could be tasked with making their way out of the compound sans-weapons, sneaking their way past guards and releasing Clickers to take out would-be pursuers. On the gameplay front, players could be tasked with carrying out her doomed escape attempt. Things like how the Rattlers were formed, and how they’ve managed to establish such a stranglehold on Santa Barbara, could be explored from Abby’s perspective after she’s brought to their compound through dialogue with other captured individuals and their journals. It’s more than a little messy, but it does serve to open up an interesting avenue for some DLC. Not only that, but Abby has been captured by this group and been pushed to the brink of death after a failed escape attempt. In the blink of an eye, players are introduced to a new faction of survivors who capture and enslave others to sustain themselves. If we’re being honest, The Last of Us Part II’s final stretch is one of its weaker parts, if only because the introduction of the Rattlers and their compound feels so rushed. How he makes his way through WLF territory, and how he managed to get Tommy to safety, could make for an adrenaline-pumping experience, and that’s to say nothing of the dialogue and exchanges he could share with Tommy post-rescue. On the other hand, Jesse’s rescue of Tommy could be just as interesting. Other states, and their level of post-apocalyptic chaos, could be explored and provide new stories through his eyes. Much in the same way Ellie and Dina pieced together the location of Abby’s friends, Jesse could be shown to have tracked his friends across the country toward Seattle. What he was up to before he showed up to save Ellie in one iconic scene, and how he saved Tommy when he split off from Ellie further into the story, were both pushed into the background while Ellie and Abby’s stories took center-stage.įortunately, this leaves these sections wide open for further exploration via an expansion. Jesse serves as a surprisingly likable member of The Last of Us Part II’s cast, though his time in the story – and the explanation for what he was up to before he’s introduced into it – is brief.Īside from some brief info on being Ellie and Dina’s friend, and wanting to support Ellie in avenging Joel, not much light is shed on what he went through before and during the mission for revenge.
The two could share several conversations regarding the Seraphites, their dreams of what lies outside their island and insights into their religious beliefs, fleshing out their characters further while also expanding on the series’ lore as a whole. It would also offer up the chance to further flesh out the siblings’ relationship. Players could step into the role of Lev and act as a master archer, guiding him and his sister through the dangerous warzone in stealth and combat-focused segments. This makes them prime candidates for being the focus of some DLC or even a small stand-alone game. Not only that, but they would have had to avoid detection or capture by the WLF, serving to turn the trek into a tense journey of stealth and survival. The trek from the Seraphites’ island into Seattle is far from a short one, and it has clearly had an impact on them by the time Yara is captured alongside Abby. Lev and Yara have emerged as some of the fan-favorite new characters from The Last of Us Part II, but there’s still plenty of their story that remains unexplored namely, how they escaped from the Seraphites.
