The Last of Us season two trailer shows Ellie in danger and Joel in... therapy?

To mark The Last of Us Day, HBO has released the first full trailer for season two of its adaptation of the games. Naughty Dog is also celebrating the occasion with some fun Steam cosmetics, including a Steam Deck startup video.

This expands on a sizzle reel we saw several weeks ago, which included the first glimpses of Catherine O’Hara’s character (seemingly a therapist) and Kaitlyn Dever as a pivotal newcomer, Abby. There are quite a few other recognizable moments from The Last of Us Part II in the new clip, including an encounter between Ellie (Bella Ramsey) and an infected in an abandoned supermarket and a famous scene of her playing guitar for Dina (Isabela Merced). However, HBO boss Casey Bloys recently indicated it will arrive in the first half of next year to make it eligible for the next Emmy awards (the same goes for the next season of The White Lotus).
