I think it’s fair to say thatThe Last of Us Part IIexcitement levels is spilling over at this stage due to fans eagerness to hear more about the upcoming sequel by Naughty Dog, but the studio is notorious for holding their cards close to their chests and revealing very little of what’s in store for Ellie in part 2.At the start of the year,The Last of Us composer Gustavo Santaolallaadded a spit of fuel to the fireby stating thatThe Last of Us Part II would “be coming very soon”. Whether coming soon is this year or next remains to be seen, but in the meanwhile, we can always fill our time with some grittyThe Last of Uscosplay.

Things don’t come more gritty than this Ellie cosplay by Cyprus born cosplayer Molza. Here we see Molza capture Ellie’s iconic scowl to perfection as well as reincarnating her determined gaze as she mutters the chilling words “I’m gonna find…and I’m gonna kill…Every. Last. One of them.” With guitar in hand in one picture, Molza recreates the scene from the firstÂThe Last of Us Part IItrailer that we all witnessed atPlayStation Experiencein 2016 where Ellie sings a soft melody called “Through the Valley” which is in stark contrast to her harsh, threatening tone that follows.

“Just a girl. Not a threat.” . 🔪THE LAST OF US PART II 🔪Ellie by (me) @molzenna 🔪Photo by @makks_tobi 🔪MUA @fuwamua . I was posting cute and bright photos for a while, and now it’s time for something brutal! I wish my phone had a machete emoji for times like this :c BRUTALITY! Angry girl is coming for you! 🔪🔪🔪 После всех недавних манипуляций по загрязнению/состариванию костюма Элли для @gamescom он на старых фото кажется мне вопиюще чистеньким :D Будем считать, что это look на самое начало игры (скорей бы она уже вышла, сил нет). . . . #thelastofuspartII #thelastofus #thelastofuscosplay #naughtydog #sidebysidecosplay #thelastofus2 #tlou #ellie #videogames #thelastofusellie #elliecosplay #thelastofuscosplays #elliethelastofus #playstation4 #tloucosplay #thelastofuspart2 #e32018 #tlou2 #lastofus #lastofus2 #gamecosplay #molzacosplay #thelastofus2cosplay #thelastofuspart2cosplay #thelastofusparttwo #thelastofuspartiicosplay

Luckily for Molza, Naughty Dog caught wind of her stunning Ellie cosplay and featured it as a Tweet on their official Twitter account calling her reenactment of the kick-ass angry teenager “Exceptional”

It certainly seems that Ellie is a popular choice among cosplayers as recently Allie (@TheMarvelousMrsMiller)shared a few imagesof a recent cosplay where she also created Ellie which Naughty Dog also picked up on Twitter - those dogs can definitely sniff out some amazingThe Last of Uscosplayers.

The Last of Us Part II is currently in development for PS4
