We Finally Get to See the Infected
We’d barely seen any of the Infected in Part II up to this point. Naughty Dog went all out in re-revealing them, however, as they showed off every major iteration in Tuesday’s trailer. And they’re looking as wonderfully ugly as ever.
As Ellie falls into a pitch-black room while hearing the chilling click-ck of the iconic Clicker, she turns on her flashlight to reveal the fungal horror right before it strikes. We hope she has a shiv on her!
Not even a shiv could make a dent in the Bloaters, The Last of Us’ most imposing and difficult variant of the Infected. They’re back with a vengeance, tearing through walls and brushing off bullets.
Two of the monstrosities are seen in a cramped room, which is terrifying considering how one of The Last of Us’ final and most sinister challenges was getting past a group of three.
We also see a group of Runners in an abandoned mall during the trailer’s last batch of quick cuts, the first and least advanced form of Infected. It’s unclear if any are actually Stalkers, who share most visual characteristics with Runners aside from a slightly more deformed face.
