To end today's State of Play, we got the chance to see more The Last of Us Part II. It was full of visceral, in your face and sometimes gruesome gameplay. We also got to see Joel for the first time. The big news, however, was the release date. The Last of Us Part II releases February 21st, 2020.
As for the footage shown, this time around it definitely seems we'll be seeing the games through the eyes of Ellie. Ellie has made a new home with herself in a new community, based on the trailer here and what was previously shown of The Last of Us Part II. When Joel arrives, it was a surprise to Ellie, which, as we've sort of known already, Ellie and Joel have probably been separated for quite some time.
Just as in the first installment, enemies shown off in this new gameplay were wideranging. From normal old people to dogs, to zombies, and yes the Infected, including Clickers, have returned. Beyond that, the tone suggests another dark and sometimes difficult to watch and play experience just like the original. Only, we can see a ton more of the shine and detail that Naughty Dog is known for.
According to a listing on Best Buy [Affiliate], The Last of Us Part II will come on two discs.
