Naughty Dog's long-awaited PlayStation 4 exclusive The Last of Us Part II is slated for release on June 19th. If you plan on playing the game on Day 1, we have all of the details about the special editions, pre-order bonuses, and more below. Just make sure to avoid the spoilers that have been floating around, even though a lot of what's out there might be false. Don't worry though - reviews of the game have been stellar thus far.
