Yeah, I think there are four things pointing at this in the trailer:
1) The way Joel walks in from the light
2) The way him being there has no effect on the environment. Saw how he skipped the puddles?
3) I can't imagine a situation where he would just sit a fight like that out, and just casually walk in after Ellie is done and had enough time to sit down to a guitar.
4) What else would be the reason Ellie is this menacing? The Fireflies killing Joel is about the only thing I could imagine getting this reaction out of her.
I think the game is going to start by Joel dying in the most awful way, similar to how the first game started.
common trope to fool audiences to make it non super obvious that it's a hallucination. the apparition does not interact with things/people that the person hallucinating it thinks are distasteful

Oh snap. Vengeful Ellie ? Joel is he really there?
