Promising PS3 exclusive and E3 standout The Last of Us has introduced a new character, Tess, by way of a video featuring the character’s motion-capture development.
Tess is voiced by actress Annie Wersching, of 24 fame. Developer Naughty Dog released some info on the character: “A hardened survivor living in one of the last remaining quarantine zones, Tess operates in the black market of a city under martial law. Partners with Joel, they have become known within the criminal underworld for their ruthlessness. Street smart and confident, Tess is a savvy strategist and negotiator. Her ability to generate intelligent plans to secure the contraband for their trade is second to none.
“Tess and Joel subscribe to the same dog-eat-dog philosophy. They survive by being willing to do what others can’t or won’t. Her trust in and loyalty towards Joel runs deep. However, secretly, she questions whether Joel shares the same emotions that she feels for him.
“Strong, smart, and street savvy, Tess is a pivotal character in the world of The Last of Us.”
The video not only introduces the character, but also gives viewers a behind-the-scenes look at the development process; check it out:
