Whereas lots of people like unique Joel and Ellie actors Troy Baker and Ashley Johnson, they don’t actually appear to be their characters in The Final of Us. With the newest trailer launched although, some followers have been in a position to spot Baker and Johnson, enjoying very totally different roles.
Try these screenshots:
It’s mentioned that Johnson is enjoying Ellie’s mom, Anna, who we don’t actually meet within the sport, however is certainly current right here within the sequence. Thus far, the one factor we’ve gotten of Anna are letters she left for Ellie. Within the lore, she died the identical day she gave delivery to Ellie, and left her within the care of her pal Marlene. Previous to the outbreak Anna was a nurse, and she or he had a switchblade which Ellie will finally wield in The Final of Us Half II.
As for Baker, plainly his position is fairly minor, being a random thug within the gang that followers assume is ran by David. Some assume that Baker would be the member that Joel tortures with a purpose to discover Ellie, which I feel can be a neat method to have Baker within the present apart from being a random thug.
With director Neil Druckmann being part of the sequence as effectively, followers are assuming there shall be some nice respect for the sport that got here earlier than. Whereas I’m not anticipating an actual remake, I feel the core themes of the sequence like fatherhood and isolation shall be saved intact.
