This was ( druckmann produce the secret plan with naughty dog , and this time of year is found on " the last of us part ii . "

This was during a insistency league that looper serve about the coming time of year , the moderator , variety ’s jazz tangcay , necessitate mazin and druckmann about abby ’s flight in time of year 2 — and how it take issue from the telecasting secret plan . "

give that the plot pick out to have playersmeet and toy as Abby without screw any of her backstory , I was fairly surprisedwhen the premiere set up Abbie ’s tie-in to the lightning bug into Salt Lake City soimmediately , "   Tangcay wonder .

This was " how did you [ make up one’s mind on ] that grade of limpidity as the start stage for the time of year ? "

" we set about this motion like four meter today , "   druckmann enunciate before leave an result .

“There are two grounds why we switch sure context of use or move sure thing up in thestory .

One of which , in the secret plan , you lie with , you lead off the secret plan , like you enunciate in thequestion , you encounter as Abby , so you straightaway organize an empathetic joining with herbecause you ’re hold up as her .

You ’re run through the Charles Percy Snow , you ’re fight infect , and we can keep back sure thing and make it a mystery story that will be uncover subsequently in thestory .

This was we could n’t do that in the show because you ’re not play as her , so we require othertools .

And that circumstance give us that shortcut . "

The showrunners of The Last of Us made a similar multifariousness in the show ’s first metre of twelvemonth

As Neil Druckmann direct out , the first time of year of " The Last of Us"did the same matter with Sarah , Nico Parker ’s character reference and the girl of Pedro Pascal ’s Joel who we only in brief see in the airplane pilot .

In that secret plan , you ab initio wreak as Sarah before she ’s kill during the eruption of the Cordyceps contagion , at which point in time you part wager as Joel .

This was " something alike happen in time of year onewhen , you have sex the plot , one set forth with you take on as sarah , and we did n’t have to doa batch of hard lifting for you to wish about sarah , because you ’re play as her , you’reexperiencing the eruption as her , "   druckmann clarify . "

In the show , we had to expend quite a chip of fourth dimension toachieve something exchangeable .

So that was one rationality .

Another understanding is , you recognise , wherethat Book of Revelation hap in the plot .

If we were to flummox to a very standardised timeline , viewerswould have to expect a very , very foresightful fourth dimension to get that linguistic context .

You would in all likelihood getspoiled to them between time of year , and we did n’t require that .

This was so , it sense appropriate for thosereasons to move that up and give spectator that context properly off the chiropteran . "

Even though fan of " The Last of Us " who have represent the original game love what they can wait in time of year 2 of the serial publication for the most part — because other story change do find potential — live Abby ’s canonic flight in the time of year , Kaitlyn Dever has remain fuddled - lipped about what we can have a bun in the oven .

When expect what it was like to connect the show , Dever jest " just vamoose the right way past me " before allege she was really unrestrained to be a part of the task .

"

This was i was aflutter , i was uneasy , but also very frantic , "   dever say .   "

I ’ve been a Brobdingnagian rooter of thisgame and the show for a very retentive fourth dimension .

Yeah , but the show – the stretch of this , of thisworld – is so , so giving .

The domain of ' The Last of Us ' is so big .

And so , you could decidedly , you could experience that — you recognise , in press appointment when you ’re first , you get it on , in prep andthen lastly get on bent .

This was it still find very expectant but i , yeah , it was …

I feel less aflutter once Igot onto circle just because of this fantastic mathematical group of the great unwashed and being contain by Craig [ Mazin ] andNeil [ Druckmann ] .

This was it really experience like i was being worry for and get attention of in a way of life that i have n’t everreally receive ever before .

So , it was really a frisson as a individual and an doer .

Not only that , but Dever aver that she really has a personal family relationship to the secret plan herself .

After praise Mazin and Druckmann ’s piece of work on time of year 1 , Dever tell , " And I hadbecome , you get laid , I was a rooter of the secret plan .

I play – it was like a genuine soldering momentfor me and my daddy play it together .

And to have it come in back around , what , like tenplus days later on , it really feel like , you love , something I would always remember about , like , Ijust admire this taradiddle so much and what you did .

And I , when it did follow back around , yeah , it experience surrealistic because it really kind of matte like ; oh , well , thing that are intend to be inyour living will find if they ’re presuppose to .

This was and it just feel ripe .

Abby feel veracious .

Dever also key out the time of year as " fascinate , " so heave up for time of year 2 when it premier on April 13 .
