The next episode of The Last of Us is set to tackle the game’s “Left Behind” DLC, and explore Ellie’s (Bella Ramsey) life before the epidemic that sent the world into chaos. Warner Bros. Discovery recently released a set of images to prepare fans for what they will see.
The new images show Ellie and Riley (played by Storm Reid in the episode) as they explore an abandoned mall, similar to the actions that take place in the DLC. Also included in the pictures are pictures of Ellie lying in bed, as well as sitting in front of a table and looking very unhappy.
