If you’re aLast of Usfan, as many of us are, then you would have heard that Sony and Naughty Dog are having amedia eventforThe Last of Us Part IIon September 24 in Los Angeles. The media event entails members of the press getting a more detailed look at the hotly anticipated sequel and also around three hours of hands-on time. This event will hopefully be a breath of fresh air as what we’ve mostly been feed are rumors on the games' apparent release date during aState of Playand the possibility we will be getting a release date sometime inFebruary 2020.
Industry insider ZhugeEX took toTwitterto announce that press members will be the first to get some hands-on time withThe Last of Us Part IIfor a whole three hours while at the event which does suggest that the game is in a really strong position and close to the end of development. What this also could mean is that since three hours are readily available for a demo, we could possibly see a multiplayer beta arrive over the coming months. As pointed out bypushsquare, three hours of single-story campaign is quite a large chunk to be shown at this time so some multiplayer content included would probably be more practical.
At Madrid Games Week 2019 next month, which will run from 3rd October until 6th October,Sony confirmedthatThe Last of Us Part IIwill be there at the PlayStation Booth with “different experiences” available for bothThe Last of Us Part IIandDeath Strandingduring the fan-focused expo.
This would be an amazing time for Naughty Dog to showcase more details onThe Last of Us Part IImultiplayer and probably the best timing since they’ve shut downPS3 multiplayer serversforUncharted 2, Uncharted 3, andThe Last of Us.With fingers crossed, we really hope to hear of a release date for the sequel and a beta announcement to boot. Let’s start holding our breaths now!
