Naughty Dog has released a teaser image hinting at the original ending of The Last of Us.

In a post on Twitter, creative director Neil Druckmann teased that fans will be able to “see how it originally ended” at the studio’s PAX panel later this month, as he and game director Bruce Straley will “re-pitch The Last of Us.”

Druckmann included the following concept art, which shows an angry Tess holding a knife to Joel’s throat:

can't wait!

Oh yeah, I think they had a proper ending in place just in case the franchise wasnt a success. I guess its safe to let the cat out of the bag. I felt like Joel was going to die at the end to tell you the truth.

Tess stays alive till the end of the game? well that changes the whole story.

Yeah, makes you wonder what would've happened with tess had she not been shot down by the military. I don't think she would've turned on Joel, but this is really exciting.
