Watch: What can we learn about The Last of Us 2 from the trailer?

Clicker for a few theories.

At PSX over the weekend, The Last of Us 2 was finally announced with an atmospheric - albeit rather grisly - reveal trailer. The trailer focuses on main character Ellie, now nineteen years old, playing guitar in a roomful of corpses; teens, honestly.

Anyway, while light on story details, there are nonetheless a few details we can glean from taking a closer look. In the interests of squeezing as much information from the trailer as possible, I've done just that - see the video below for some finer details and one or two strange fan theories. Be warned, the video contains big spoilers for The Last of Us.
