"We purposely deceived [players] with certain trailers," said Druckmann, according to Games Radar.

Druckmann cited an example from the previous game wherein Joel was seen on the floor and the scene made it look like he was infected, but in the end, it turns out this was only made for the trailer. This made a lot of fans wonder whether Naughty Dog may be doing the same for "The Last of Us 2."
