2. Multiple Playable Characters (Including Dina)

This one is a little more up in the air, but the latest trailer may have actually confirmed that Ellie won't be the only playable character in The Last of Us Part 2. Director Neil Druckmann has always been vague on the matter, and after the first game had players controlling Ellie, Joel and Sarah it seemed likely that there wouldn't only be a sole playable protagonist, but this is still a surprise.

That's because it's not Joel who's hinted as being playable in the game, but Dina. Ellie's love interest is obviously going to have a major role in the story, but one quick cut in the footage shows her on the floor, aiming up at a Clicker about to have her for lunch.

It's a quick edit, and at first it looks like Ellie, but it appears to be actual gameplay footage of Dina in combat. Sure, it could just be a cutscene taken out of context, but considering the series' history, it wouldn't be weird if Dina was playable.
