It’s anyone’s guess who this person is, but because the series is taking from the first game, we could do some sleuthing. He also mentioned a mystery character who seems to have a four-letter name. The Last of Us series co-creator Neil Druckmann confirmed all of these characters in a tweet celebrating International Women’s Day from the official HBO Twitter account. She was introduced in the Left BehindDLC, so we could expect Riley to show up in scenes set before the series’ story. Maria will turn up once the duo reach the Jackson County settlement, and Ellie’s girlfriend Riley will play a part in the adaptation. Joel’s partner Tess will make an appearance, and the Fireflies’ leader Marlene will be present, too.

Of course, Ellie will feature in the adaptation as the series will be replicating the plot of the first game. HBO’s The Last of Us series will include familiar and fresh faces from the game, with its co-creator confirming that a new character will be shown in the show (via games radar).Īnd now you have Ellie, Riley, Tess, Marlene, Maria, â¬œï¸â¬œï¸â¬œï¸â¬œï¸, and a few others!
