Naughty Dog’sThe Last of Us Part IIhas been out just over a week and it’s, unsurprisingly, one of the top games everyone is talking about at the moment. Whether you’re for or against its brutely harsh and emotionally charged storyline, there’s no denying why itreached an impressive milestone as the PS4’s fastest-selling exclusiveever released. Its array of talented voice actors combined with stunning environments,The Last of Us Part IIpurposefully pushed boundaries in its narrative and character design. Many fans were glad to welcome back Ellie who, other than growing up in the years that have past, is the same smart-assed and feisty young woman we grew to love. But have you ever wondered “what if Ellie was the main protagonist ofBloodborne,how would that look?” Wonder no more, folks.
Twitter userIzzumshas graced us with a wonderful, albeit a little jarring, fan art piece of Ellie but instead of the drawingswe are used to seeingof Ellie, this time she takes on the decrepit Gothic, Victorian-era–inspired city of Yharnam inBloodborneas the Hunter. In Izzums' somber sketchings we see Ellie donning the hunter’s hat, the Beast Hide Garb draped over her shoulders and Ashen Hunter Gloves cover her hands whilst holding something that looks similar to the Rifle Spear. It’s certainly a very different look from the Ellie we all know and love who is never seen out of her jeans and chucks but going on what I’ve seen her do inThe Last of Us Part II,there’s no human or beast she wouldn’t take on so maybe this is her true calling. Look outBloodborne 2!
