The Last of Us game was set to receive a special DLC centered around Ellie’s mother, but this is now its fate..
The Last of Us game was supposed to receive DLC content about Ellie’s mother
The launch of The Last of Us television series may be the most important thing that happened to Naughty Dog studio’s game series, as it gains a new and very large fan base of players around the world.
Especially since it comes from a team with wit and experience in the HBO network led by the creative Craig Mazin, who cannot enter a project and not offer a great experience, as evidenced by the The Last of Us HBO series, as all the first episodes so far have managed to garner high ratings while awaiting more in the upcoming stage.
With this great media momentum, Variety had the opportunity to interview the producers of the series, including Neil Druckmann, the games director at Naughty Dog studio, and also the producer Craig Mazin. They talked about some behind-the-scenes of the work in general, but the press team posed a fundamental question about Ellie’s past and why her mother has never appeared in the games before?
Neil Druckmann replied that they at Naughty Dog studio were planning to release an additional expansion as a DLC to tell a part of this story before the outbreak of the pandemic, but they ultimately decided to cancel the idea, which is expected to be answered by the rest of the episodes in the HBO television series currently airing on the HBO Max platform.
This idea remains very likely in the seven remaining episodes, especially as the developer team hinted at the game Uncharted 4 in the past with a picture showing Ellie’s mother in addition to the title of the additional expansion “American Daughters”, meaning that the studio’s will may finally come true in the television series, which still holds many surprises.
