The Last of Us 2controller, console, and other themed items aren’t the first time that Sony has created specially-themed hardware for its big exclusive games, and it’s unlikely to be the last. It’s quite likely thatGhost of Tsushimawill receive a similar treatment as we near that game’s release date, and it’s also quite likely that the upcoming PlayStation 5 will have themed consoles for fans to collect as well.
In the meantime,The Last of Us 2is set to be one of the biggest PS4 exclusives to date, even in the face of some major setbacks. Not too long ago,majorLast of Us 2spoilers leaked online, dampening many fans' enthusiasm for the game in the process. The frequent delays also hasn’t done it any favors, but based on Naughty Dog’s incredible track record, it seems likely thatThe Last of Us 2will still earn rave reviews upon release, despite any of the backlash that it has experienced over the last few months.
Luckily,The Last of Us 2release dateis right around the corner. Barring any unforeseen issues,The Last of Us 2will launch on June 19, a whopping six years after the original game released for the PS3. It seems thatThe Last of Us 2controller, headset, and external hard drive will be available earlier in June, though, so fans can pick those up ahead of time if desired.
