.TheLastofUsPartII is, according to co-game director Anthony Newman, 'at its core is about humanity and those deeper truths about what makes people do the things they do are only revealed under pressure'

Anthony Newman opens up about "the most deeply systemic game Naughty Dog has ever made" and the ways it pushes boundaries thematically and technically., recalling a theme of the survival horror game releasing imminently next month amid the coronavirus pandemic. "What it means, what the costs are, how much you might have to give up in order to pursue justice and the loss of humanity it entails.

"That puts the player in Ellie's shoes, realizing that they're fighting against real people who will respond in anguish when their friend dies, but also know that they have an understanding of where you are from a hint as subtle as a glass breaking or a bottle being thrown," says Newman. "That intelligence of the human enemies heightens the tension and the pressure on both Ellie and the player.

The gameplay, Newman explains, is approached in a way that is intuitive and realistic. "You can get thrown over a countertop, break through some glass, now you're on the ground, and you can have that-esque moment of aiming up at an enemy above you and trying to save yourself from them." Speaking of emotional notes, the romance between Ellie and Dina, Newman explains, introduces a new dimensionality to Ellie — not only is she an agile, tenacious fighter, but the moments of tenderness expose an extremely authentic relationship. "There's so many moments between Ellie and Dina that remind me of moments I've had with my own wife in our early courtship," he says.
