The Last of Us Part II is an upcoming action-adventure game developed by Naughty Dog and published by Sony Interactive Entertainment for the PlayStation 4. Set five years after the events of The Last of Us (2013), players enter the role of 19-year-old Ellie, who comes into conflict with a mysterious Christian cult in a post-apocalyptic United States.
The game contains survival horror elements and is played from the third-person perspective. Players can use firearms, improvised weapons, and stealth to defend against hostile humans and cannibalistic creatures infected by a mutated strain of the Cordyceps fungus.
The game is scheduled for release on June 19, 2020. It was announced in December 2016 and delayed twice, first for further development and then due to logistical problems arising from the COVID-19 pandemic.
Reactions
Fan response was overwhelmingly positive. Significant observations made in the trailer relate to Ellie's injuries and attire. Some at game reviewer IGN and US Gamer have noted that Ellie has several minor injuries as well as some more serious damage to the right-hand side of her neck, the latter of which some have speculated may be the result of very gradual spreading of the Cordyceps fungus up her right arm, where she was initially infected through a bite in Left Behind.
