An observant 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:The Last of Us 2 fan has discovered a small connection between the🍸 sequel and the first game’s📖 DLC. 

Originally shared to , one fan picked up on a repeated line found in The Last of Us: Left Behind and the second game and it relates to Ellie&rsquo𓂃;s🃏 love of dinosaurs. 

When exploring the mall portion of the DLC, Riley tells Ellie that she has a surprise for her, to which Ellie excitedly replies: “Is it a dinosaur?&rdquo🥂; Unfortunately, on this occasion, the surprise isn’t a dinosaur and is actually just a Halloween supply shop that the pair break into.

However, those who areꦜ very familiar with The Last of Us 2 will already have noticed that this line is echoed in the sequel when Joel takes Ellie for her birthday surprise. This time Ellie does get her dinos🦂aur when she gets to visit The Wyoming Museum of Science and History for the first time.  

The sentimental flashback is a fan-favorite scene in the game where Ellie gets to encounter not just one but several dinosaurs, as well as sit inside a space shuttle in the abandoned museum. We’re not sure if this is an intentional reference to the DLC in The Last of Us 2 or if 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Naughty Dog just wants players to know tha🤡t Ellie really likes dinosaurs. 

This is just one of many small callbacks to the first game, with another subtle reference also being discovered in the subreddit a few days prior. Those who took full advantage of being able to explore Ellie and Joel’s Jackson base in The Last of Us 2 may already have seen the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:now obvious nod to the giraffe scene in the first game painted on the side of a building ☂near the playground.&nbsꦇp;

After studying Film Studies and Creative Writing at university, I was lucky enough to land a job as an intern at Player Two PR where I helped to release a number of indie titles. I then got even luckier when I became a Trainee News Writer at GamesRadar+ before being promoted to a ♐fully-fledged News Writer after a year and a half of training.  My expertise lies in Animal Crossing: New Horizons, cozy indies, and The Last of Us, but especially in the Kingdom Hearts series. I'm also known to write about the odd Korea൲n drama for the Entertainment team every now and then.
