The Last of Us Part 2 is getting a range of hardware options
PlayStation have announced that The Last of Us Part II will be getting a series of limited hardware releases, for the PlayStation 4 Pro console, DualShock 4 controller, PlayStation Gold Wireless headset and external HDD.
John Sweeney, the art director at Naughty Dog, shared a little bit about the inspiration of the pattern via the PlayStation Blog, you can also read it below.
When we first revealed The Last of Us Part II, we had no idea how quickly fans would embrace Ellie’s tattoo. Within a day, we started seeing real-life versions showing up on social media and fans have been sharing photos of their new tattoos with us week after week ever since.
When the opportunity arose to create a custom PS4 Pro for The Last of Us Part II, I worked with our graphic designer at the time, Angel Garcia, and we considered a few different ideas, but we kept coming back to Ellie’s tattoo. By that point, it had become a symbol of the game and for the community–much like the Firefly logo in the first game. It was the clear choice, but we wondered: what if it could be engraved? It hadn’t been done before, so we weren’t sure it was even possible, but thanks to the incredible efforts of the teams at PlayStation, we found a way.
The result is something we feel is really special–a design that honors the passion of our incredible fans and that we ourselves would be proud to own.
We can’t wait for you to see it in person and for you to experience The Last of Us Part II for yourselves!
The console will be included in a special bundle that will also come with the controller and a physical copy of the game, check out the machine in the below shots.
For those who just want to get the controller, it will be available on its own as well. Presented in a Steel Black matte finish with white detailing and PlayStation shapes, this Limited Edition wireless controller features Ellie’s iconic fern tattoo engraved on the lower right hand side and The Last of Us Part II logo on the touchpad.
Finally, for those looking for accessories, you can get either a headset or a hard drive, or both if you want. The hard drive features the same pattern as the console, located on the top, next to the logo. Where as the headset has the tattoo design inside the headband, while the logo is on the outside.
