Anyone who has played The Last of Us Part 2 will remember the chapter that features Ellie making her way through a rain-soaked Seattle in a boat.

The Last of Us 2 primarily takes place around Seattle, where Naughty Dog incorporated various other landmarks of the city into the game, just like Gameworks. For example, the gigantic ferris wheel can be seen while exploring the city as Ellie, and both Ellie and Abby's adventures take them to the Seattle aquarium numerous times.
