More Info Revealed About ‘The Last Of Us Part II’

Published

on

After the beautiful but brutal trailer last month, I can’t be the only one curious as to what the deal is with The Last Of Us Part II. Well, developers Naughty Dog got the floor at this past weekend’s PlayStation Experience to dish out more info on the game.

For starters, the game is only 50-60% complete, meaning we’ll probably see the game at the end of 2018. According to director and writer Neil Druckmann, the story for The Last Of Us Part II will be darker than the previous game, with shades of gray mixed in with the good and bad. Druckmann added that because of the darker tone, “no one is safe, not even [Joel or Ellie].”

Druckmann was also joined by co-writer Halley Gross (who is also the writer for HBO’s Westworld). Gross refers to the project as a “daunting experience,” but also a collaborative environment. Druckmann elaborated, saying Gross provided some “awesome ideas” for the story, including a situation involving Halley.

Lastly, when it came to when fans would get their hands on some new footage of the game, Druckmann confirmed that footage will be shown at E3 2018.

Clive Barker

We told you earlier this month that horror legend Clive Barker is leaving the convention scene behind to focus entirely on his writing, with various upcoming projects in the works.

A series of final appearances from Barker will begin at Days of the Dead Chicago this month, and we’ve learned Barker will also be coming to Monster Mania in New Jersey.

Clive Barker will be signing at Monster Mania 59 in Cherry Hill, New Jersey, which runs from August 2 – August 4, 2024. Stay tuned for more info from the convention.

Barker’s official statement earlier this month explained, “… it’s time to focus entirely on writing. I’m not stopping public events because I’ve lost delight in meeting you all over the years. I’m as passionate as ever about sharing my imagination with readers and moviegoers around the world. In the very room where I’m writing these words, I have the manuscripts for a very large number of projects (Thirty-one of them), some very close to completion, others still telling themselves. There are some wild projects in this collection of works, whether close to finished or done. There are also stories that you all knew I would be finishing.”

“Abarat IV and V are amongst the books at my feet,” he continued. “So is the Third and final book of The Art and the sequel to The Thief of Always. There are also return visits to characters and mythologies you may have thought I would never return to.

“I hope I am still able to surprise you in the decades ahead.”
