After years of waiting, the much-awaited sequel to one of the most popular PS4-exclusives of all time, the aptly named The Last of Us Part II, finally has a release date.
The Last of Us Part II is scheduled to launch on February 21, 2020, on the PS4. Along with this, Sony also announced that the original Last of Us game will be available to play for PlayStation Plus subscribers in October 2019. For those who haven’t played the original game in a long while, this would be the perfect time to refresh your Last of Us memories.
At the recent Sony State of Play event, a new trailer was also dropped. It gave us a more in-depth look at the game.
There were scenes where Ellie is riding a horse, fighting against other human survivors and even controlling a boat. I sure hope Ellie knows how to swim now!

Judging from the trailer, it looks like the story is all about revenge. There must’ve been something that happened with Ellie’s partner Dina, which caused her to take on an entire gang alone. Well, not really alone as we get to see a grizzled Joel join her into battle further down the trailer.
From the trailer, we can also see Ellie’s right hand shaking. This is the same hand where she was bitten before. Could she slowly be turning into a monster herself? It looks like this is a possible story arc for the game so we’ll have to keep an eye on it.
The first Last of Us game was released way back in 2013 for the PS3 and it’s amazing to see that after 7 years we will finally be playing the second part.
