Left Behind follows the duo’s relationship attending military boarding school in the Boston quarantine zone after the infection and the choosing to fight for a rebel group called the Fireflys or stay in the government Quarantine. In Left Behind, gamers will take control of Ellie, one of 2013’s most beloved protagonists, and explore her relationship with one person in particular – Riley, who is Ellie’s best friend and mentor. Left Behind explores the events and relationships that influence main character Ellie’s experiences that pick up from the events of The Last of Us and set her on a path to uncover her strength and potential that are manifested throughout the main campaign of The Last of Us.
