The Last of Us Part III: Joel of the Dead

Premise: Joel’s body was never recovered. Turns out… the infection took, but it didn’t take over. He’s half-human, half-clicker, and 100% pissed. • Still rocks a flannel. • Grunts like a zombie, but can still play guitar. • Has just enough brain function to hate Abby and protect Ellie, even though she doesn’t want him anymore. • Mutters “I’m a dad…” between hissing fits.

New Mechanics: • Echo Vision: Detect memories of those he killed, relive trauma, and scream it into the void. • Feral Dad Rage: Temporary invincibility when Ellie is in danger. • Guitar Hero: Fungus Mode: Controls spores by playing post-apocalyptic Johnny Cash covers.

Tagline:

“He died saving a girl. He came back to save the world.” JOEL OF THE DEAD.

It’s a JOKE. What. You guys don’t understand how ridiculous that plot is?

Still sounds like more fan-forward writing than what ND thought was a good idea for Part II.
