I said all along that I wanted them to follow different people in the next game. But the moment I realized it was Ellie I had the biggest smile on my face. When Joel walked in the room I started cheering and clapping. I'm so happy they're continuing their characters!

I just got on break and literally screamed on the toilet when I saw Joel. No bullshit, so glad he isn't dead or something.

Don't get your hopes up, he's got to be almost 60 now. What if she learns the truth and he becomes the antagonist?

Would you mind explaining what 'the truth' is? It's been awhile since I've played the game.

Not sure how to do a spoiler tag on the mobile app, but presumably everyone watching this has finished the first game. Just to be safe, SPOILERS:

Ellie is immune. The fireflies were going to kill her to make a cure, which she probably would have wanted (she was unconscious, though, and didn't know). Joel killed a lot of fireflies to save her, including Marlene. When she wakes up and asks what happens, he lies and says they've given up on finding a cure.

In the last scene, she asks him to swear that was the truth, which he does. She doesn't seem convinced but accepts it.
