In preparation for the second season of The Last of Us, which is set to be released next year at the latest, a new half-minute trailer has been released, which seems to indicate a change in Joel's character development.

The teaser, which was posted to X (formerly Twitter) on August 5, focuses on Joel, who talks to Catherine O'Hara's new, unnamed character about what happened at the end of season one. She could be a therapist of sorts, as she asks Joel if he hurt Ellie. "No. I saved her," Pedro Pascal replies.

This conversation comes straight from The Last of Us Part 2. The game starts with the same conversation between Joel and his brother Tommy, discussing what happened in Fireflies' hospital. In the game, Joel says the same words when he tells the story to Tommy. The latter comforts his brother by saying that he would do the same if he were him, and that he will take it to the grave if he has to.
