As expected, The Last of Us: Part II is going to bring us some fresh threats to tackle. The first game featured both human and infected bad guys, and that's set to return in the sequel. However, we now know about a couple more enemy types.
A new infected threat is the Shambler. You might remember the huge, Clicker-looking chap from the latest trailer. These guys are heavily infected brutes that take a bunch of damage and violently explode when they die. They'll spray acid at you if you're too close, and apparently move surprisingly quickly. Wonderful.
Then there are dogs. Also seen in the aforementioned trailer, canines will be present within certain groups, and are obviously trained to sniff out strangers. They'll be able to pick up on your scent, so your best bet is to keep moving and avoid these extra-sensitive baddies. If they do attack, you have lethal or non-lethal ways of dealing with them, but they move fast and will call attention to you. It sounds like you should just stay away as much as possible.
Of course, regular human enemies, as well as other infected like the infamous Clickers, will be making a return. Are you up to the task of dealing with these new threats? Avoid confrontation in the comments below.

I just watch a 6 minute brand new gameplay on PlayStation acess.couple minutes ago.and wow this game looks great and the dog can smell you cant stay in the same spot.last of us 2 is already a legendary game.word up son
What's telling for me is how NPCs will react to when you kill one of their own. It looks like the whole theme of hate and violence breeding violence will be felt throughout every part of the game while balancing it's beautiful but sombre world.
The Last of Us Part 2 will be the feel bad game of 2020 and I can't wait.
Also the shamblers remind me of the Zygons from Doctor Who.
Makes sense since there was a note in the first game describing the stages of infection but the last stage was torn off.
Game of the year 2020!
I wonder if Ellie gets a dog later on that can attack other dogs and humans. I'd love that.
@RBMango Ellie can get a dog but it can only be unlocked by using the clear yellow controller in the Death Stranding bundle. 🤣
@rjejr We have bathe with the controller to unlock the dog.
@RBMango I think if you bathe with the controller while playing the game everybody is naked in the game. I think something similar to that happened in MGS.
@RBMango You know damn well she's going to get a dog, fall in love with it, make the player fall in love with it, and then it's going to get killed.
I actually hate dogs in games like this. They add way more tension to stealth sections lol.
