Along with Matthews, young Lenny was also killed in the incident, while John Marston got arrested. With several key members ending up in Guarma in the succeeding events, the gang was in complete disarray and the future was uncertain as one can imag


Originally expected to drop on May 29, 2020, The Last of Us Part II has been indefinitely delayed by Naughty Dog, citing the current global situation as the cause. As the sequel to 2013's masterpiece, the wait has been excruciating, especially since The Last of Us ended on a note that was both satisfying as a conclusion to the game's story and also a great cliffhanger for a potential follow

Taking a chance at one last big score, the robbery at Lemoyne National Bank went horribly wrong for the gang. The heist plan was deemed ‘well-thought-out’, which was the case at the start of the break-in until the Pinkertons came. Holding Hosea as a hostage, Agent Milton knew that a deal wouldn’t be reached, so he shot Matthews dead right in front of the g
