The Last Of Us Was Originally Going To End In San Francisco

There are only two episodes to go until season one of HBO's The Last Of Us comes to an end. If you've played the Game, you know where we're heading. If you haven't and want to avoid spoilers, stop reading now, as the article covers the original ending of the Game was going to be a far happier one in San Francisco.

The first part of Joel and Ellie's journey concludes with the former blasting his way out of a hospital John Wick-style. He's doing it to save Ellie who is about to undergo surgery that will end her life, and then so he can get her out of the building and to safety.

THEGAMER VIDEO OF THE DAY

According to Neil Druckmann, that wasn't the original idea. When the story was first pitched, Joel and Ellie happily settled down in San Francisco. That was revealed to EuroGamer a long time ago. However, the upcoming reveal of what to expect from The Last Of Us' multiplayer spinoff, which will be set in San Francisco, has resulted in that info resurfacing.

Shared by Naughty Dog Info, the tweet above questions whether the new characters in the multiplayer Game will be the people Joel and Ellie were going to settle down with. It's certainly possible, and maybe when the Game does eventually launch, we will experience a part of The Last Of Us universe that has existed for more than a decade.

When season one of HBO's adaptation comes to an end, it will presumably finish in the same place as the first Game. Although its creators have already admitted Part 2 can't be told in a single season, the show will eventually catch up with the Games. If HBO wants to carry on with the show once it runs out of Games, then telling the stories of how people in other parts of the world have been tackling the apocalypse might be the way to do it.

The Last Of Us Show Confirms How The Virus Spread

HBO's The Last Of Us is well and truly off and running now, its second episode airing on Sunday night. That episode confirmed a fan theory regarding how exactly the cordyceps fungus was able to spread so quickly. Be warned if you haven't seen the first two episodes of the show, the rest of this article is teeming with pretty significant spoilers. Just hours after the show premiered nine days ago, fan theories started to swirl pointing to contaminated flour being the root of what quickly becomes an effectively world-ending pandemic. That theory was confirmed to be accurate during the opening few minutes of episode two. Another flashback, this time in Indonesia, during which a mycologist examines a flour factory worker infected by cordyceps.

MTG's Phyrexia: All Will Be One Card Lets You Kill Your Opponent In Just Two Turns

Magic: The Gathering’s next set, Phyrexia: All Will Be One, is currently being previewed. While we’ve seen all kinds of big, splashy cards, the one that’s given players the fear is, of all things, a tiny little Goblin Warrior. With just three cards and two lands, Cacophony Scamp can wipe an opponent out as early as turn two. Even more scarily, this combo works in both Modern and Pioneer, where it could give birth to a new take on the deck known as Hammer Time. RELATED: Magic: The Gathering – Phyrexia: All Will Be One Previews As noted on Reddit, Cacophony Scamp is an unassuming 1/1 Goblin Warrior costing just one red mana. It doesn’t have haste, but it does have two big upsides: it can sacrifice itself once it’s dealt combat damage, and when it dies, it deals damage equal to its power to any other target. THEGAMER VIDEO OF THE DAY With these two abilities, Cacophony Scamp becomes an absolute fiend when...
