It could just be another story in The Last of Us universe (Off-Topic)

The universe is ripe, though I really hope they leave the main story as-is. Endings don't get more perfect than that.

It is a cool universe. Though the ending was soooo perfect that I'm not sure I'd want to see a sequel (or second game). I kinda like the idea that the game stands alone as a testament to story-telling in video-games.

It's a victim of its own success, though. A sequel is inevitable, and Ellie and Joel are too popular to leave out of it, although I'd like to be wrong for the reason you mention.
