‘The Last of Us Part II’ is Now the Fastest-Selling UK PS4 Release
To the surprise of no one, Naughty Dog’s The Last of Us Part II has become Sony’s fastest-selling release this generation (at least in the UK). While exact figures are still to be determined (as digital sales aren’t factored), the followup to the 2013 hit landed at number one on the UK charts, and beat out another Naughty Dog game, Uncharted 4, for the fastest-selling debut.
By comparison, The Last of Us Part II crushed the original’s debut on the PS3, with 76% higher launch sales. The Last of Us Part II is also the biggest UK launch for any boxed game released this year so far, with sales 40% higher than the previous record holder, Animal Crossing: New Horizons.
The Last of Us Part II is available now exclusively for the PlayStation 4.
If you were wondering just where Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy was all this time, you won’t have to wait much longer. Publisher Focus Entertainment and developer Asobo Studio have announced via a new trailer that the game will launch for the Xbox Series, Day One with Xbox Game Pass, as well as PlayStation 5 and Steam on August 27.
Pre-orders are open now, and include the Heritage Pack DLC and an in-game digital artbook.
Set 15 years before A Plague Tale: Requiem, play as Sophia, a fierce young plunderer, on the run and determined to uncover the secrets of her past. Dive into an original story blending combat, myth and fate with a brand new take in the universe of A Plague Tale.
Sophia’s journey leads to the Minotaur’ Island, where she faces deadly trials, navigates treacherous trails, solves puzzles, all while fighting and staying one step ahead of the army chasing her. But the true challenge awaits, as the terrifying creature hidden behind the myth will soon resonate with her.
Followed by many enemies, each drawn to the Island to reclaim a mysterious treasure, you must navigate a treacherous maze. Rely on your agility, tricks and sharp reflexes to outsmart enemies, perfect your parries, and unleash powerful strikes to survive deadly encounters. Players will shift between the Middle Age of Sophia and ancient Minoan times, where echoes of the past shape the battles of the present.
