A new Last of Us Part 2 trailer will air on Wednesday
Naughty Dog’s game has now gone gold ahead of its June release
Sony Interactive Entertainment (SIE) will release a new The Last of Us Part 2 trailer on Wednesday, May 6 at 7am PT / 10am ET / 3pm UK.
“I have to finish it,” playable lead Ellie says in the teaser, below.
“There’s a cost,” replies fellow protagonist Joel.
Following two delays, developer Naughty Dog announced on Monday that the game has gone gold ahead of The Last of Us Part 2 release date on June 19.
Creative director Neil Druckmann revealed that work on the PS4 exclusive was complete in a video message which is reposted below.
The Last of Us Part 2 story elements leaked via several gameplay videos last month, showing new areas, cut-scenes and menus.
Druckmann at the time that he was “heartbroken” by the leak.
SIE also said: “We’re disappointed that anyone would release unauthorized pre-launch footage of The Last of Us Part II, disrupt years of Naughty Dog’s hard work and ruin the experience for fans worldwide.
“We want everyone to have the opportunity to play The Last of Us Part II at the same time and ask that viewing or sharing of the unauthorized footage be avoided.”
SIE claimed last week to have identified the culprits behind The Last of Us Part 2 gameplay leak.
“They are not affiliated with Naughty Dog or SIE,” it said. “We are unable to comment further because the information is subject to an on-going investigation.”
