PS4 The Last of Us Release Date: June 20

It’s no surprise that so much anticipation has built up around the launch of The Last of Us on the PS4. The game was one of the best to hit the PS3 in its long history and was one of the best games of the year last year. PS4 gamers have had tidbits of detail about the game coming to the new Sony console.

We heard before that the game was coming this summer. That is a rather vague launch window though. Several major game retailers have now tipped a new launch date for the game. Target, Best Buy, and GameFly all list the launch date for the game as June 20.

Uncoincidentally, that is just about a week after E3 wraps up this summer. The launch date hasn’t been officially confirmed, but with so many retailers showing the same date, it’s almost a sure thing.

The Last of Us Remastered PS4 Pre-Orders Tipped on Sony Online Store

Late last month we mentioned that a Sony software manager overseas had tipped that The Last of Us would be heading to the PS4 game console this summer. At the time, we had no other proof that the game was in the works for the new console. That has now changed.

Today a banner turned up on the Sony Entertainment Network online store for The Last of Us Remastered for the PS4. The banner lists a price of $59.99 and says that you can pre-order the game now. Sadly, when you click that banner it gives to a page not found error.

That means one of two things. Either the banner is broken or someone went live with the banner before it was supposed to. Considering the banner has been up since early this morning and is still there as of this writing, it’s probably just broken.

PS4 Could Get The Last of Us this Summer

If you played The Last of Us on the PS3, you know that this was one of the best games to ever come to that console. If you have a PS4 now you might be wondering when you can play that game in all its next-gen glory. During an interview, a PlayStation Eurasian Software Market Manager named Sercan Sulun said that The Last of Us is coming to the PS4.

He claimed that the game will hit the new console this summer. That is fantastic news for gamers that have a new console and want some post-apocalyptic glory. Sulun also said that the PS4 version of the game will come out of the box with the DLC Left Behind ready to play. Of course, Sony later denied the rumor, which means absolutely nothing. The cat is out of the bag.

This is almost as exciting as word that they are making a movie of this game. I hope that movie doesn’t suck. The game has a great premise, and I don’t think they will need to try to tie it to the game to be successful in theaters. I always fear a Doom type flick messing things up.

    Sony To Make The Last Of Us Movie A Reality

    Sony To Make The Last Of Us Movie A RealityRemember back in late 2013 where Sony registered a domain for “thelastofusmovie.net”? It led to speculation that Sony might be interested in turning the game into an actual movie, which would not be a bad idea since the game does have a pretty good storyline to begin with.

    Well the good news is that if you were really hoping for a The Last Of Us movie, you’d be pleased to learn that a report from Deadline Hollywood has revealed that a movie will indeed be happening. This is thanks to a deal that Sony Picture’s Screen Gems has signed with Naughty Dog which will see Neil Druckmann, the Creative Director for the game, pen the script for the movie as well. (more…)

    The Last Of Us DLC Rumored For Valentines Day ReleaseValentine’s Day is a little less than a month away and while we’re sure there are plenty of folks out there who have plans with their loved ones, there are also those who might not have plans and could be looking to stay home and do something else instead. Well if you fall into the latter camp or if you’re looking for a good reason to stay home on the romantic, albeit commercialized day, you might be interested to learn that the first DLC chapter for The Last of Us could be set for a Valentine’s Day release, at least according to the PlayStation Store promotional image that was captured by the folks at GameTrailers, which has also been confirmed by Sony Entertainment Network’s listing.

    Assuming the information is accurate and final, the DLC which has been titled “Left Behind” will be priced at $14.99. The exact details of the DLC remains unknown at the moment, but actress Ashley Johnson revealed that the DLC will star a younger and more playful version of Ellie, one of the main characters in The Last of Us.

    LEGO The Last of Us Would be an Awesome Game

    If you are a fan of LEGO, video games, and zombies you will enjoy this video. The video was made by Brian Anderson, and it is awesome. It looks like professional grade animation done for a LEGO themed game.

    lego last of us 620x390magnify

    As the disclaimer at the start of the video says, the footage isn’t from any actual game, but if they made it I would totally play it. The game is loaded with themes from the popular game The Last of Us, with LEGO minifigs building the weapons they need to kill the tumor-laden bad guys.

    As they beat them, the baddies give up LEGO coins. After all the bad guys are dead, the hero and his sidekick bust through the door only to reveal they’re not alone in the zombie apocalypse. Check out the video for yourself, it’s very cool.

    While you’re at it, be sure to check out Brian’s LEGO Breaking Bad and LEGO The Dark Knight.

    Naughty Dog Says “We’ll See” For The Last Of Us Coming To The PS4

    Naughty Dog Says Well See For The Last Of Us Coming To The PS4We’re sure some gamers might have been somewhat bummed when back in October, Naughty Dog community strategist, Eric Monacelli stated that the developer had no plans to bring The Last of Us to the new Sony PlayStation 4. Given the graphics of the game, we can only imagine the spectacular visuals that it would have if Naughty Dog were to bring it over to the PS4, but fret not gamers because not all hope is lost. In response to a question asked by a fan as to whether the company would bring the game onto the PS4, Naughty Dog’s latest response on the official PlayStation Blog revealed a somewhat optimistic “We’ll see,” which is admittedly a lot better than saying no outright.

    According to Monacelli, “We’re just getting our Naughty Dog engine up and running on PS4 as we work on the next Uncharted project. We will see what the future brings! Naughty Dog Says Well See For The Last Of Us Coming To The PS4The Last of Us launched on the PS3 earlier this year in June after an initial delay with critical acclaim, with some voting the game as PS3 game of the year, and with the game having managed to ship about 3.4 million units to date, so we can only imagine those numbers climbing if they were to bring it onto the PS4 where gamers who did not have the PS3 might get it to see what all the fuss is about. In fact it wasn’t too long ago that Sony had registered a domain for a The Last of Us movie, although whether this was done just to protect the franchise or if a movie is in the works remains to be seen.
