But it’s still positive to have a real confirmation that the game will not gloss over Ellie’s sexuality and her love will very much be front and center of her story this time around. While Assassin’s Creed Odyssey has same-sex romances and these were hinted at during the Ubisoft E3 2018 press conference that took place earlier in the day, it didn’t feature a same-sex kiss and so Sony appears to be the first.ĭeveloper Naughty Dog has expressed its support for the LGBTQ community time and time again and Ellie’s sexuality as a lesbian is an established fact. According to fans on social media, by airing this trailer, Sony has become the first major press conference at E3 to feature a same-sex kiss. The uncomfortable tone of the trailer aside, The Last of Us Part 2 appears to have just made history with this lesbian kiss. But that’s the story of The Last of Us Part 2 and it’s a little too soon to say how developer Naughty Dog will make it all work when the game is released. (The above GIF is an edit that lets them continue the kiss almost seamlessly, without the violence in between.) It’s an incredibly odd juxtaposition – to have such a dark scene bookended by a brilliant moment – and it’s also especially uncomfortable knowing that Ellie’s happy gay moment will be offset by such brutality. When this combat sequence has finished, the trailer cuts back to the barn where Ellie and the woman continue their kiss. I edited The Last of Us 2 transitions so now it's just a nice kiss /SlG9vGRRGg It’s gruesome, incredibly violent and isn’t for the faint-hearted. Here, Ellie takes on human enemies in a brutal attack that also sees her chop a man’s head off. The scene soon cuts to a flashback of some sort, that features some grim The Last of Us Part 2 gameplay and not the gay and heartwarming events of the barn dance. “Oh Ellie, I think they should be terrified of you,” says her friend before leaning in for a slow, tender, and utterly beautiful kiss.
“I’m just a girl, not a threat,” says Ellie. There’s some mild flirting between the two women as they slow dance and her friend soon remarks that all of the men in the room may be jealous of Ellie. A male friend makes idle chit-chat as Ellie stands there, looking mildly irritated by his presence.Įllie’s female friend has been dancing in circles in the arms of a man but she soon notices her friend’s frustration and drags Ellie onto the dance floor to dance with her instead. The trailer opens as Ellie sips a drink at a bar at some sort of barnyard dance. The Last of Us Part 2 trailer at the Sony E3 2018 press conference makes history by featuring a lesbian kiss between female protagonist Ellie and her unnamed female love interest. The new Last of Us Part 2 trailer is one of the standout reveals from E3 2018, alongside the new Cyberpunk 2077 trailer and the surprise announcement of The Elder Scrolls 6.Į3 2018: The Last of Us Part 2 Trailer is Very Gay The new gameplay trailer also features female protagonist Ellie in several brutal combat sequences. At E3 2018, The Last of Us Part 2 trailer makes E3 history by featuring a lesbian kiss.
