After almost a three year wait, Naughty Dog has finally announced today that the highly anticipated The Last of Us Part II will be released exclusively on the Playstation 4 early next year on February 21, 2020. 

Along with the release date reveal comes an action-packed new trailer which mixes some of the game's plot cinematics with spectacular gameplay footage, and confirms the return of a major character, Joel, who had previously been held out of all marketing for the game as the post-apocalyptic series shifted its focus over to Ellie. 

The long-awaited video game sequel will be available to purchase in five unique editions, including The Last of Us Part II Standard Edition ($59.99), Special Edition ($79.99), Digital Deluxe Edition ($69.99), Collector’s Edition ($169.99), and Ellie Edition ($229.99).


 
Five years after their dangerous journey across the post-pandemic United States, Ellie and Joel have settled down in Jackson, Wyoming. Living amongst a thriving community of survivors has allowed them peace and stability, despite the constant threat of the infected and other, more desperate survivors. When a violent event disrupts that peace, Ellie embarks on a relentless journey to carry out justice and find closure. As she hunts those responsible one by one, she is confronted with the devastating physical and emotional repercussions of her actions.

I think Joel's definitely going to die in this one if he isn't already dead. I'm so pumped for this I still play the online multiplayer mode

Not the best game I've ever played, but quite possibly my favorite. I'd like a bit more of a sandbox feel to the sequel though.

@RorMachine - what's the best game you've played and by sandbox feel what do you mean? I guess when I say best game I've played I just mean story wise. I don't think I've ever been as emotionally attached to a game before. Maybe spec ops or heavy rain compares

@RorMachine - I hope not, opening games up to the sandbox model takes away from the narrative because there is less sense of urgency. Plus these big publishers have been trying to kill the single player linear game genre for years in favor of open world and multiplayer, don't help them succeed.

@MyCoolYoung - It's the most emotionally attached I've ever been playing a game, but I still rank Skyrim above it for the sheer scale and immersive open world gameplay.

@LongMayHeReign - I don't mean fully open world, I just enjoy exploring the environments a bit more. Maybe a few side quests etc. The main story could still move along at the same pace.

@RorMachine - Just don't think this game lends itself well to having side missions like I think you want. Naughty Dog hasn't had a side mission in any of their recent games (Uncharted 1-4, Last of Us), they pretty much make playable movies to be honest so I doubt there will be any side missions.

But they may give us a giant open area to explore like they did in Uncharted 4.

'Last of Us' is a near-masterpiece. Never have I played, read or watched something where it became an emotional experience.

This, however, looks relentlessly grim and grisly. I hope they don't go down a grimdark for the sake of grimdark approach. Less is more.

@GothamSon - would you consider any game a masterpiece?

@MasterMix - I definitely refused the high five lol I thought it went more with the story as it built up
