‘The Last of Us Part II’ Trailer Reveals Release Date and New Gameplay


During Sony’s State of Play presentation, the company dropped a lengthy look at The Last of Us Part II, the highly anticipated follow-up to Naughty Dog’s 2013 survival-horror masterpiece. The new footage also came complete with an official release date, and it’s sooner than you’d think: February 21, 2020.

Fans of the series already got a good look at the title’s stunning gameplay at last year’s E3, but this trailer dives deep into the story. Five years after the events of The Last Of Us, you’ll be playing as an older Ellie (Ashley Johnson), who managed to find some sort of peace with girlfriend Dina (Shannon Woodward) even as the world still tries to move on from the horrific virus that almost ended humanity. However, tragedy turns The Last Of Us Part II into much more of a revenge-focused story, and you’ll once again take Ellie on a journey through the disease-and-monster-infected country. This, of course, means the return of Joel (Troy Baker), who the trailer finally reveals in all his hobo beard glory.
