The road to launch begins.
There are a scant 108 days to go until The Last of Us Part II releases on May 29! [Updated release date: June 19] We are thrilled to say that we’ve entered the final stretch of production and are putting the finishing touches on The Last of Us Part II as you read this. The end of development puts us one very large step closer to launch. We know all of you have been so patient over the last few years, so it’s been thrilling to see our game taking on its final shape and knowing that means it will be in your hands soon. Today, we’re kicking off regular communications about The Last of Us Part II with a few awesome announcements!
The Last of Us Part II Ellie Edition Returns
You’ve been sending us letters, e-mails, and messages on social media asking if we could get more Ellie Editions in your hands. Since selling out last September, we’ve been working closely with the teams at PlayStation to make more The Last of Us Part II Ellie Editions. We’re delighted to let you know the Ellie Edition will be back and available for pre-order in limited quantities (available at select retailers across US and Canada only) starting Thursday, February 13, at 6:00am PST at Amazon, Best Buy, GameStop, Walmart.com, Target, and in Canada exclusively at EB Games for $229.99 USD / $299.99 CAD MSRP.
As a refresher, the Ellie Edition is packed with all of the collectibles and content found in the The Last of Us Part II Collector’s Edition, but is the only version that comes with a full-scale, fully-functional replica of Ellie’s backpack, an embroidered patch, and a 7″ vinyl single featuring music from the game. Don’t miss out!
The Last of Us Part II Hands-on Demo at PAX East 2020
Update on PlayStation’s presence at PAX East 2020.
Not only did Ellie and Joel’s journey begin in Boston, but PAX East also has special meaning for us: it was where we gave you the first ever opportunity to go hands on with The Last of Us back in 2013. We thought it would only be fitting to return to the city that started it all to give fans the first-ever public hands-on with The Last of Us Part II. From February 27 until March 1, attendees will have an opportunity to play “Patrol,” featuring an early area of the game where Ellie and Dina must venture out of Jackson into the surrounding areas to clear out infected. The demo will span an hour of gameplay and provide just a small glimpse into what awaits you in the full game.
Attendees can visit the booth to play the demo, but space is limited! We recommend securing your spot via the Experience PlayStation mobile app available on Apple Store* and Google Play**. New appointments will be made available each day of the show. For more information about the demo and to get updates about our presence at PAX East, keep an eye on Naughty Dog’s Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram pages.
New Collectible Ellie Statue and Concept Art Prints
Following up the 12″ limited-edition Ellie statue revealed on Outbreak Day 2019, we’ve teamed up with Dark Horse once again to release a brand new 8″ “Ellie with Machete” polyresin statuette. Designed and sculpted by our incredibly talented character artists, this new statuette will be a limited production run based on the number of pre-orders received via Dark Horse Direct before March 13, 2020. After that, it’s gone! You can begin pre-ordering today. Additionally, Dark Horse will be releasing an 8″ PVC version of the “Ellie with Bow” statue revealed last year, which will be available at participating retailers this summer.
Our friends at Cook and Becker have launched a set of new concept art prints from The Last of Us Part II. These new pieces join the collection of designs released last year and can be purchased as museum-grade-quality giclee art prints, individually numbered and packaged with a certificate of authenticity. You can see them now on CookandBecker.com.
New Key Art, Wallpapers, and Free PlayStation 4 System Dynamic Theme
Speaking of art, today we’re proud to reveal our two latest pieces of key art for The Last of Us Part II, which explore the two sides of Ellie’s journey: from the relative peace she’s found when the story begins to the relentless pursuit of vengeance that follows.
You can download high-resolution versions of the art as wallpapers for your device of choice via PlayStation.com/wallpapers. We’ve also produced a new dynamic system theme that transitions from day to night based on your PS4 system clock, available now for free at PlayStation Store.

we would’ve gotten it in 10 days, man
Yes☹️
Seems some of this post is stuck behind comments and can not read it.
I can’t wait to play
It seems to be fixed when you whether increase or decrease the zoom (ctrl -/+)(when watching it on pc)
Hyperlink for wallpapers doesn’t work :(
Download all and you should get the wallpapers
Thanks for the free stuff and info.
I can’t imagine a backback being worth so much. Because I know a patch and vinyl isn’t worth that much.
Thank you, ND!
So excited for The Last of Us Part II!
Why is Ellie Edition limited only to US and Canada?
I would like to know it too
Is the Experience PlayStation mobile app updated with the event day of PAX? Or can we secure a spot ahead of time?
I just downloaded the app and it doesn’t have Pax East event yet. Last event on there is the Paris Games Week 2019
108 days cant wait anymore!!
thanks for free stuff!!
I really hope there more than just the last of us 2 for the PlayStation booth or it’s gonna be quite a boring pax year
There should be more. It’ll be good if Final Fantasy VII R and Ghost of Tsushima be there.
Soooooo…. is there a link to the new theme? The Ellie theme I found in the store is from 2018…
There’s a code for the theme below the video. Just redeem on PSN and your good.
It has a code bro
thanks naughty dog and sony for ignoring Europe as usually…
I bring you good news! So on International Women’s Day, I was bummed that Europe got a GREAT background for it that featured women from Horizon, Dreams, Bloodborne, Uncharted, Gravity Rush, etc. while the US versions was good, but not as cool.
There IS a workaround! Make a separate account located in the US. It’ll pop up as a log-in option when you turn on your PS4 along with your normal account. That US account can be used to access the US store. You can download the theme and use it on ANY of your profiles.
Cheers!
Crap, I just realized that there is an EU code for it and that’s not what you meant.
Sorry. =(
is Joel in part 2 and is he still the protagonist of the game?
Joel is in it but you play as Ellie this go around
Way too excited for this game
Thanks for this, I ordered my copy months ago and ever since then its been in some weird Limbo because it sold out so fast. Hopefully my order actually goes through.
I can’t download it says “this Playstation Card number is already been used”
The same happen to me (Europe/AU/NZ/Russia/Middle East/Africa/India) !
hey if you pre-ordered the collector’s edition and paid it in full. can we upgrade the this edition?
So what about us in the UK? We just being **** over as usual? I’m sick of all this stuff being exclusive to US. It’s a shame its exclusive to Game in the UK because they never have stock.
Not buying until they put out the Deluxe Bear Edition, with that hunk Joel having some smelly kisses too.
Invalid Code: Europe/AU/NZ/Russia/Middle East/Africa/India
Where’s a Joel statue…….
It seems that the theme codes are expired now…too late for me
it expires on 2.11.2021
Hi, guys i cant get theme
Just why??
I have UAE account
Guys you need to add this code, on the computer instead of your console.
I’ll wait until the price drops down to $20 bucks or less. It’s not worth full price.
Looks like the restock on Amazon was a lie. Still unavailable.
Is this PS4 dynamic theme different from the dynamic theme included in the various deluxe editions?
Has the theme included in the deluxe editions been shown yet?
Hey @playstation the code not working for me im in Saudi Arabia… Plz help..
Super stoked for this game,the first one is in my top 3 of all time. Cant wait to take my time with this one.
Would have love to receive this email before feb 11 and not feb 14 as i did and being able to download the dynamic theme. Thankfully I received it via other source almost two weeks ago. A real shame Sony.
People actually pay $300 for that crap?
WAY more excited about FF7
Wow, finally!!! Thanks to everyone at Naughty Dog. Can’t wait for it to come out. Been waiting since the end of 2018. You guys have made a wonderful story line.
I missed the Eli edition again. I really want that back pack.
todos queremos esa mochila y no se sabe cuando habra otra edicion ellie :c
van a ver mas ediciones ellie ?
Is there going to be another restock for people who didn’t get their hands on the Ellie Edition during the first time they restocked?
Can’t the end of May get any sooner? I will keep on playing the game till Cyberpunk comes out in September.
The code for Europe is not working. It says it’s expired. Damn it. And it should work till 2021? Restock it pls
