10 Potential Plot Twists That Could Ruin Upcoming Video Games

2. It's Set In The Last Of Us Universe - Days Gone

The Twist: Sony's new open-world survival horror game is in fact set within the same universe as The Last of Us, and will include direct references to Joel and Ellie's story.

Why It Could Ruin The Game: Because it'd feel like a lazy move to ensure the new IP doesn't bomb, by needlessly tethering it to a beloved franchise for easy cash.

How Likely Is It?: Not very, given that these two worlds don't even really look that similar, and most crucially, the game's Freaker zombies look nothing like the Clickers from The Last of Us. It's not impossible, but it's tough to imagine Naughty Dog signing off on this, especially for a game they're not involved in developing. 2/10
