A brutal new trailer for The Last of Us Part II was revealed today as part of Sony's latest State of Play stream. The trailer may not be suitable for all parties, especially if you aren't a fan of violence in games. There is also some potential story stuff spoiled in the trailer.
So, consider that you're only warning on that one.
It was also revealed today that The Last of Us Part II will be released on February 21, 2020. Neil Druckmann from Naughty Dog shared some of his thoughts and feelings on the upcoming game via a new PlayStation Blog entry. Some of those words can be found below the new trailer.
Druckmann also shares that there are various editions of the game that going to be available. These include the standard version with just the game, a Special Edition, Digital Deluxe Edition, Collector's Edition, and Ellie Edition. He continues on to note that there will be a much larger media reveal happening on Thursday, September 26 around 8AM (PT) when an embargo lifts on a recent press event.
We began working on this game over five years ago. It’s hard to describe the immense pressure of following up the first game. We know how much you love this world and its characters — especially Ellie and Joel. Believe me, we’re fans as well. We love them. Which is why we spent years crafting a game that we feel will do them justice, telling a nuanced story that deals with the core question: how far would you go to exact justice against the people that hurt the ones you love? It’s a highly emotional story with complex themes that befit the world of The Last of Us. What we realized pretty early on is that we were putting together Naughty Dog’s most ambitious and longest game in our 35 year history. To tell this kind of story the game needed to be massive. Without spoiling too much, at the top of this post you can watch the brand-new trailer that we debuted earlier today on State of Play, which just scratches the surface of what the game has in store.(...)
Let’s kick things off with the Collector’s Edition, which includes a beautifully crafted 12†Ellie statue, a life-sized replica of Ellie’s bracelet, a custom SteelBook case, 48-page mini art book from Dark Horse, a set of six enamel pins, lithograph art print, and a set of five stickers. The Collector’s Edition also comes with a voucher for digital content, including a PS4 dynamic theme, a set of six PSN avatars, a digital soundtrack, and a digital version of the mini art book.
The Ellie Edition gives you all of the contents of the Collector’s Edition, plus a full-sized, fully functional recreation of Ellie’s backpack, an embroidered patch, and a 7†vinyl record featuring music from the original soundtrack. We’ll also have a Special Edition version that features the custom SteelBook case and all of the digital content found in the Ellie Edition and Collector’s Edition.
