‘The Last of Us: Part II’ Trailer Revealed at the Playstation Experience

Published

A trailer for Naughty Dog’s The Last of Us: Part II was released at the Playstation Experience and it looks absolutely amazing! It opens with Ellie’s shaking hand coming to a still as she then tunes and begins playing a guitar while singing a melancholy song. As she sings, a figure enters the house where she is playing and walks past several corpses, each one mutilated. As this figure comes to the room where she’s playing, it’s revealed from behind to be Joel, who asks if she’s serious about continuing her journey. She states with steadfast resolution, “I’m gonna find and I’m gonna kill every last one of them.

I honestly got chills seeing this. I played The Last of Us later than most people as I got the remastered version on the PS4 several months after it came out. But when I played it, I was drawn in deeper than pretty much any game I’ve ever played before. It was a magical experience, one that rarely happens and that should be appreciated when it does. It’s a story that is so rich and developed that it’s hard to imagine how a sequel could match up.

However, seeing Ellie a little bit older (but still voiced by Ashley Johnson) and hearing Troy Barker as Joel once again only inspires and excites. Naughty Dog has yet to release a game without an incredible story and considering the amount of eyes that are attached to this title, I doubt they’ll fail any time soon.

What are your thoughts of the trailer?

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.”
