More montage and maybe one of The Last of Us Part II’s most gruesome scenes

A lot of this trailer is re-used footage from the last two. We again see Joel crying in therapy, Ellie screaming out on what looks like a hospital bed, and the Infected attacking Jackson. Given that I was just giving the show shit for seemingly spoiling Abby’s identity in a trailer, I can commend the restraint. As for the flashes of new footage, there’s a moment that looks like it might be the scene in which Ellie tracks Nora, one of Abby’s friends played by Intergalactic star Tati Gabrielle in the show, into an infected nest. We don’t see the WLF medic, but the scene is distinct for its use of stark red lighting and its focus on Ellie as she approaches. We can see Ellie pointing a gun at someone on the ground in front of her with this distinct lighting and framing.
