Sony Unveils New Trailer for The Last of Us Season 2 - Premiering April 2025

Sony has released a new trailer confirming the premiere date for the second season of HBO's hit series The Last of Us, starring Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey. Scheduled to launch in April 2025, the season promises to continue exploring its post-apocalyptic universe, although the trailer has sparked speculation about possible changes to the narrative of the original video game, leaving many fans puzzled.

The show's quality doesn't seem to have dropped for this second season. The trailer showcased many desolate locations teeming with clickers and infected, as well as introducing several new characters for viewers unfamiliar with the game. However, for eagle-eyed fans of the source material, the trailer has raised questions and sparked discussions about potential alterations to the game's timeline.

One of the most talked-about scenes features a young Abby in a hospital wearing a Firefly pendant while alarms blare in the background. This moment is clearly set during the events of Ellie's rescue at the end of the first season. In the game, this revelation happens much later in the story, suggesting that creators Craig Mazin and Neil Druckmann might be restructuring the sequence of events for the TV adaptation.

The decision could be aimed at fostering empathy for Abby from the very beginning—a move that would make sense. Many fans believe this is an attempt to humanize Abby early on, potentially avoiding the divisive reception her character faced in The Last of Us Part 2. After all, no one wants Kaitlyn Dever, who is rumored to play Abby, to bear the brunt of fan backlash.

Another scene that raised eyebrows features a hand scythe commonly associated with the Seraphites, as pointed out by a user on X (formerly Twitter). This detail further fuels speculation about timeline changes in the adaptation.
