Sony kicked off the PlayStation E3 2018 conference with a spectacular moment – a kiss in The Last of Us: Part 2.
A new trailer, set in a replica of the festoon-lit marquee Sony’s attendees were briefly gathered in (then moved from – it was complicated), showed The Last of Us protagonist Ellie being led onto the dance floor by a lady called Dina, and then they kissed. It’s the first gay kiss I can remember being featured so prominently in a trailer at E3.
Then, in the blink of an eye, we were back into ultra-violence, with Ellie in a different scene stabbing necks and hacking at faces as she struggled to survive against human enemies – there was still no sign of Clickers.
