In HBO's The Last of Us, however, co-creator Neil Druckmann has revealed that their story will be different in one significant way. The relationship between the two is hinted at, but never fully explored. While Frank is mentioned, the character is only physically seen once as a corpse, having been dead for a while after attempting to leave Bill and the town. In the game, upon Joel and Ellie reaching Bill's town, the latter is alone.
One thing that has been confirmed for Bill and Frank by the creators of HBO's The Last of Us is that their story will be slightly different for the upcoming show.
