It wouldn't be too outrageous to say that
The Last of Us Part II is one of the most anticipated video games to release this generation. The long-awaited title has been highly anticipated pretty much since the first game hit store shelves in 2013; way before a sequel was even officially announced.
With a few delays along the way, Naughty Dog's highly anticipated sequel to the critically acclaimed
The Last of Us will finally be releasing for the PlayStation 4 on the
29th of May; picking up some time after we last saw Ellie and Joel, and with both characters having drifted apart from each other during this time.
The Last of Us Part II will be releasing in May, and a month after the game finally becomes available fans will also get the chance to purchase the game's official art book:
The Art of The Last of Us Part II. As if that wasn't enough, Dark horse Comics has just announced that the book will also be getting a phenomenal Deluxe Edition.
As revealed by Dark Horse Comics,
The Art of The Last of Us Part II Deluxe Edition will include a completely different cover than the one the Standard Edition comes with, as well as a slipcase, and a lithograph with an outstanding piece of artwork from the game.
Dark Horse Comics also reveals that pre-orders for both the
Standard Edition and
Deluxe Edition are currently available on Amazon, and that both will be releasing on the
16th of June. In the meantime, check out the Deluxe Edition's phenomenal new cover, and slipcase down below.
Take a look:
Five years after their dangerous journey across the post-pandemic United States, Ellie and Joel have settled down in Jackson, Wyoming. Living amongst a thriving community of survivors has allowed them peace and stability, despite the constant threat of the infected and other, more desperate survivors. When a violent event disrupts that peace, Ellie embarks on a relentless journey to carry out justice and find closure. As she hunts those responsible one by one, she is confronted with the devastating physical and emotional repercussions of her actions.
The Last of Us Part II will release exclusively for the PlayStation 4 on the 29th of May.
