So since there seems to be enough fans I think it could be fun to speculate on the next The Last of Us game, which undoubtedly will be teased next month at E3.
So give us your best and wild guesses. Whos the hero? Whos the Villian? What happens?
Im gonna guess its a direct sequel and Joel and Elle continue to be the focus. But now we have 2 huge factors. We have no friends - everybody is after us after the hospital. We might have a short lead, but they will come for the cure. Secondly, Elle is p1$$ed and Joel is now having doubts. I would say some infighting, some of the game playing as just Elle or just Joel leading to some tense solo areas.
I will even go as far as predicting the DLC is you playing as the fireflys trying to track down Elle ala Halo 5
What happens next?

TLOU 2 will build on the last game, the obvious way is for Ellie to be a wanted person, to me this is too obvious and will take a back seat to the real story, which I imagine Ellie growing up, maybe meeting someone taking Joels place, with Joel not easily letting go.
Who knows, but I can't imagine Joel and Ellie not in it as some have said could happen, either way any sort of TLOU 2 announcement would go down well at E3

Ellie is bound to find out the truth about Joel's hospital "rescue" definitely already had her doubts at the end of the first game.

How do they have no friends? Doesn't the game finish with Ellie and Joel going back to that place Joel's brother was running.
Prefer if they did a game or two about other characters then maybe brought them together in a final game, make it a bit different.

Heading in that direction Loco but you need to remember up untill the end they were with the fireflies. So unless there is an unknown 3rd group, you have the goverment and you have the people+fireflies. You gotta imagine the fireflies will be hunting for ellie and will get the word out quickly once they find out about ellie and that will be putting a bullseye on her for anyone and everyone.

I reckon number 2 will be Joel vs the Fireflies as he mullered there leader at the end .

I think they should leave Joel and Ellie's story where it is and instead do a 'prequel' type game. Maybe Joel's back story in how he got to Boston, fell out with Tommy, became a smuggler, etc.
Or maybe focus on different characters such as Bill, Will and Sam or maybe even how the cannibal group (David? Can't remember his name...) got to being how they are.
Part of what made TLOU so great was the ending and I fear that developing Joel and Ellie's storyline more will taint the original.

Might want to put spoilers warning in there somewhere.
In other news, I had no idea a sequel was being planned. Looking forward to it.
