Sony dropped a new trailer for The Last of Us Part II at the PlayStation State of Play press conference, and revealed when the game will be hitting our screens.There was a whole bunch of cool announcements at PlayStation’s State of Play conference yesterday, but perhaps the thing fans have been most desperate for is news about the upcoming sequel to the monumentally popular The Last of Us.So after a fair amount of teasing from Naughty Dog and Sony over the past couple of weeks, it’s finally been revealed that players will be able to get their hands on on February 21st next year. A brand new trailer has also been dropped to mark the release date reveal, giving us a better idea of the story, a good look at the characters and environments, and some glimpses of gameplay too. It all looks pretty downbeat and harrowing as far as tone is concerned, but was anybody expecting anything different from a Last of Us sequel?The Last of Us Part II will be coming exclusively to PlayStation 4 on February 21st 2020. More details can be found in on the PlayStation website, and don’t forget to check out the brand new trailer below.
When is The Last of Us: Part II’s release date?At one point, the hope was that The Last of Us: Part II might release in October 2019 or at least by the end of 2019, all based on a by Peruvian video game retailer LawGamers saying that was the case. The first official word came in September 2019 when Sony released a announcing a February 21, 2020 release date (video included above). On October 24, however, that date was officially pushed back to May 29, 2020 — confirming a that very morning.In a to fans posted to the Naughty Dog blog, game director Neil Druckmann apologized for the delay:“While we’re relieved that we won’t have to compromise our vision, we’re disappointed that we weren’t able to avoid this exact situation,” he wrote. “We wish we could’ve foreseen the amount of polish we needed, but the size and scope of this game got the better of us.
We hate disappointing our fans and for that we’re sorry.”While the delay is unfortunate, it does mean we’ll get a better game when it does come out — and it won’t be at the expense of numerous developers enduring the overtime crunch hours it would otherwise take to finish the game in a shorter amount of time. What’s the Plot of The Last of Us: Part II?The Last of Us: Part II takes place 5 years after the first game — which mostly takes place 20 years after the initial outbreak. At 19 years old, Ellie is the main character as opposed to Joel, who’s now in his mid-50s. They live in the safe haven community in Jackson County, Wyoming they reached at the end of The Last of Us. Based on all of the footage shown of the game so far, Ellie’s become hardened over the years.At the PlayStation Experience 2017, game director Neil Druckmann confirmed that “a large part” of The Last of Us: Part II takes place in Seattle, a new setting for the series. The first game featured Boston, Pittsburgh, and Austin, Texas, among others. Similar to how the player trekked across the country in part 1, Part II will involve a road trip of sorts from Wyoming to Seattle.New characters include Yara (played by Victoria Grace), Emily (played Emily Swallow), Lev (played by Ian Alexander), among others.

Voice actress Laura Bailey is also in the game and provides motion capture, and she finished her part of the production on. On, it was revealed that Logic and voice actor Travis Willingham (of Critical Role) were also in the game.Despite the wide cast, there’s still no official synopsis for the game. Is There a Trailer for The Last of Us: Part II?The Last of Us: Part II was first confirmed during the 2016 PlayStation Experience with a featuring Ellie. The, featuring mostly new characters, was unveiled during 2017 Paris Games Week. The most extensive look at the game came during E3 2018 with a (above) that included a cutscene from presumably fairly early in the game.None of these promotional videos really count as a legitimate trailer of any kind, but they do offer an exciting introductory look at what the game will offer. Sony skipped E3 entirely in 2019, but the official PlayStation YouTube account has a with plenty of footage and interviews to whet your appetite.
