Update: Pre-orders for The Last of Us Part 2 have been open for a while, but the game includes several special editions and accessories that sold out quickly when pre-orders first became available. However, Naughty Dog announced it's restocking the highly coveted Ellie Edition this Thursday, February 13 at 6 AM PT / 9 AM ET at all major retailers in the US, including Amazon, Best Buy, Walmart, and GameStop, and at EB Games in Canada. The prestigious edition is sure to sell out incredibly fast, so mark your calendar and check back on Thursday for updates.
Naughty Dog has also teamed up with Dark Horse to release a brand-new 8-inch "Ellie with Machete" polyresin statuette, and it's sure to be as popular as the 12-inch limited-edition Ellie statue that sold out last September. It's available to pre-order now, and you can find more info below.
Original story follows.
The Last of Us Part 2 is one of our most anticipated games of 2020, as developer Naughty Dog is known to deliver tight set-pieces, incredible characters, and powerful narratives, and we're eager to see where to the story and Ellie and Joel goes next. Originally set to release February 21, the game is now releasing May 29, 2020 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.
