The Last of Us Part 3 story & character leaks
While Naughty Dog are yet to officially announce a third part to The Last of Us, reputable leaker ‘DanielRPK’ claimed to have details on five new characters, which could move the franchise away from Ellie and Joel.
The five characters reported by DanielRPK in their Patreon post are Lucas, Mason, Val, Ezra, and Gracis. According to the leaker, the devs are looking for voice actors to play these roles, and some details about the characters and their situation were also revealed.
DanielRPK claimed that The Last of Us Part 3 will feature a part “about a group of scavengers surviving on the outskirts of a post-apocalyptic city, crammed into a Victorian house that serves as their base.” The character Lucas is described as a male survivor who’s “affable” and also “develops a relationship with another young scavenger and will have a turn to show his dark side.”
Despite there being fewer details on Val, DanielRPK stated that the character is “female,” and will be the “leader of the group.” Details on Gracis were less prominent, but this character will be around an 18 to 25-year-old female.
According to the leak, Ezra will bring a struggle for leadership, as he “wants to take the house from Val,” while Mason is a former soldier who will have some sort of internal conflict.
Keep in mind that these are just leaks and Naughty Dog have not confirmed anything, so take this information with a pinch of salt.
If these leaks are true, however, it will certainly be interesting to see how these characters will tie into the overarching story which began with Ellie and Joel. As more information is released, we’ll be sure to update this piece so stay tuned.
