Sony this month The Last of Us: Part II in the PlayStation site category with games coming soon. And although the developers from Naughty Dog still keep the release date a secret, hints continue to appear, if not for an early premiere, then for a high degree of readiness for the game. The sequel's creative director and co-lead writer Neil Druckmann recently announced the completion of filming for the final scene.
"Just finished filming this scene" Drakman, adding a sad smiley face to the explanation of the photo of the fragment of the last page of the script. Only the inscriptions “Sharp blackout” (Cut to black) and “The End” (The End) are visible on it. The manager's reaction can be understood in different ways: it can speak both of the unhappy ending of the game, and that the game designer is simply saddened by parting with the actors.
Of course, this does not mean that the developers have completed the appropriate work on all the staged videos: they are often shot out of order. At the same time, recently actress Laura Bailey (Laura Bailey), who participated in the dubbing of the original and who played the role of Nadine Ross in и , motion capture for his character (or characters) in the sequel, which speaks in favor of the assumption of a full end of filming.
Druckman periodically leaves similar hints on Twitter and Instagram. For example, last week he published , in which actor Travis Willingham (Travis Willingham) is captured on the set with the American rapper and producer Logic, in 2018 twice nominated for the Grammy Award (Grammy Awards). The musician is fond of video games and loves Naughty Dog projects very much: he once posted a video on YouTube with a passage of The Last of Us fragment, and Uncharted 4: A Thief's End is mentioned in his Super Mario World composition. Logic is likely to play a minor role, perhaps one of the villains (Drackman noted that he had to be "pissed off").
The Last of Us: Part II was announced in December 2016 at the PlayStation Experience. In an interview with The Telegraph last year, Druckman that Sony is not rushing developers, so the game will be released only when it is “polished” to the smallest detail. According to him, even during filming, changes can be made to the script, and the number of takes of each scene can reach up to 20-30. The executive promised that the studio would announce a release date as it neared the finish line.
Given the many indications of a premiere this year, it is reasonable to expect a release date to be announced in the coming months (but not likely at E3 2019 - Sony is not participating in the show). According to other rumors, Naughty Dog may release a sequel for both the PlayStation 4 and Sony's new generation console, the first official details of which this week.
