Today, both Neil Druckmann and the official Twitter account for Naughty Dog has shared a tweet that confirmed that they have hit a new development milestone for The Last of Us Part 2.
… and we've wrapped all of the planned cinematic shoots today for The Last of Us Part II!

Technically, this also confirmed that Joel will be playing together with Ellie in the video game even though Naughty Dog has only teased his appearance and never actually shown him in action. Ellie has been marketed as the lead character for this new chapter in The Last of Us series even if Joel was the lead protagonist of the first game.
The Last of Us Part 2 will be out exclusively for the PS4, but there is no release window given for it aside from the rumors. It took Naughty Dog five months to release Uncharted 4 after they wrapped up motion capture session for the game, and while it is not an apple to orange comparison, perhaps we might see the same thing repeat here.
