The Last of Us Part 2 is riding on high expectations. It’s easily one of our most anticipated games of 2020, but many also think The Last of Us doesn’t need a sequel, which means developer Naughty Dog has its work cut out for it. Naughty Dog is known for its tight set-pieces, incredible character-building, and powerful storytelling, and we can’t wait to see how the developer builds on the story of Ellie and Joel. We won’t have to wait long, thankfully, as the game is scheduled to hit May 29 for PS4.
The latest story trailer showed protagonist Ellie on a killing spree after a terrible event involving her best friend and romantic interest, Dina–and we got our first look at a much older-looking Joel, who shows up to help her get revenge.
In a recent media event, two GameSpot staffers spent a couple of hours playing The Last of Us Part 2–you can check out their impressions and new details learned from the hands-on preview. Plus, catch up on everything we know about The Last of Us Part 2, including its story, setting, combat, and more. One major change: Naughty Dog has confirmed Part 2 will not have multiplayer, focusing instead on the single-player experience. Despite that removed mode, we know that the game will span two Blu-ray discs.
The Last of Us Part 2 is now just two months away, so we know plenty of details about its pre-order bonuses and special editions. From the Ellie Edition to the Collector’s Edition and new Ellie statues, here’s what you should know about pre-ordering The Last of Us Part 2, including the best places to buy it.
