Naughty Dog's The Last Of Us Part 2 is one of the most story-heavy games around, and these other games will scratch a similar itch.

To showcase one of these amazing details from the game, Reddit user blixxe_ noticed that the moose and wolves structure, exhibited in the museum from the Birthday Gift chapter, looks like it foreshadows a major and devastating event involving Joel Miller. The exhibit highlights a huge moose being taken down by a pack of hungry wolves, seemingly symbolizing the shocking occurrence still waiting to happen in Joel's encounter with The Last of Us 2's W.L.F in The Chalet of chapter one.

Last of Us 2 Fan Notices Possible Joel Foreshadowing Detail

Some of the comments in the thread have pointed out that not only is this an incredible hidden detail in The Last of Us Part 2 that many players may miss during their first playthrough, but it's also an accurate depiction of the mighty and strong Joel as the moose, right before being surrounded by his enemies. One commentor said that even the leg of the moose that is being bitten by the wolf is the same leg Joel sustains an injury to.

Thankfully, the success of The Last of Us' TV adaptation has ensured that the franchise will continue into Season 2. However, whether fans will get a third installment in the game series is still left undecided, as Naughty Dog confirmed that it has more than one IP in development, but there's been no official confirmation of what those projects are.
