The Last of Us Part II
The Last of Us Part II is an upcoming action-adventure game developed by Naughty Dog and published by Sony Interactive Entertainment for PlayStation 4. It is the sequel to 2013's The Last of Us. It was announced at the PlayStation Experience event in December 2016. Set five years after The Last of Us, players control an older Ellie, who comes into conflict with a mysterious cult in a post-apocalyptic United States.
Development of The Last of Us Part II began in 2014.Troy Baker and Ashley Johnson reprise their roles as Joel and Ellie, respectively. The story is written by Neil Druckmann and Halley Gross. Gustavo Santaolalla returns to compose and perform the score. Anthony Newman and Kurt Margenau are game directors; Bruce Straley, game director on The Last of Us, left Naughty Dog in 2017. The game will feature multiplayer.
The Last of Us Part II was announced at the PlayStation Experience event on December 3, 2016. The first trailer revealed the return of Ellie and Joel, whose story takes place five years after the first game. Players control Ellie. Whereas the first game centers on love, Druckmann stated Part II centers on hate. Motion capture began in 2017.
The second trailer was released on October 30, 2017, as part of Paris Games Week. It revealed four new characters: Yara (played by Victoria Grace), Lev (Ian Alexander), Emily (Emily Swallow), and an unnamed character played by Laura Bailey. Druckmann stated that the characters "are integral to [Ellie and Joel's] next journey". The game was featured at Sony's E3 event on June 11, 2018.
**Latest News**
The Last of Us Part II release date may have been leaked by Lawgamers, a Peruvian retailer.
According to promotional material from Lawgamers, The Last of Us Part II is slated for an
October 2019 release date. This would make sense when you consider that Sony doesn't
way of exclusives out this year with only open-world zombie game Days Gone having a
concrete release date. And with Sony skipping E3 in favour of its own events, it possibly
wants to prep for a sustained marketing campaign for its upcoming PS4 exclusives such as
The Last of Us Part II.

Keep in mind that neither developer Naughty Dog nor publisher Sony has confirmed or
denied a release date for the game just yet. An October release window, while plausible
also puts The Last of Us Part II up against the likes of Call of Duty, Pokemon, Star Wars
Jedi Fallen Order, and whatever else companies have planned for what traditionally is the
busiest season of the year.
