As expected, we got a cracking new trailer for The Last of Us: Part II in today's State of Play, as well as a release date. However, over on the PlayStation Blog, we were also treated to some information about retail editions for the upcoming sequel. In typical fashion, there are several ways to buy this highly anticipated title -- let's go through them below.
The Last of Us: Part II Standard Edition
Your basic retail box is pretty bog standard, but pre-ordering the regular version will net you an ammo capacity upgrade and a crafting training manual, whatever that means. Meanwhile, the digital standard edition earns you an exclusive avatar of Ellie's tattoo.
The Last of Us: Part II Special Edition
Then you have the Special Edition. This retail version of the game includes a steelbook case, an art book, a PS4 dynamic theme, and set of PSN avatars. Pre-ordering will also get you the aforementioned in-game items.
The Last of Us: Part II Collector's Edition
The Collector's Edition is where we're really getting into that good old gaming tat. It contains everything from the Special Edition, as well as a set of enamel pins, an Ellie statue, some stickers, Ellie's bracelet, a lithograph print, and a thank you letter. How polite. You'll also get a digital soundtrack.
The Last of Us: Part II Ellie Edition
The fanciest retail edition is the Ellie Edition. This swanky set includes everything from the Collector's Edition, plus Ellie's backpack, the soundtrack on vinyl, and a logo patch.
The Last of Us: Part II Digital Deluxe Edition
If you're going digital, you can grab this souped up version. It features all the digital goodies mentioned before, but to reiterate, you'll get an exclusive avatar, a set of even more avatars, the digital soundtrack, digital art book, and a dynamic theme. Plus the in-game items if you pre-order.
Phew! What do you think of these special editions? Which version will you be buying? Tell us in the comments below.

Collector's for me since I got the standard TLoU and missed the Spider-Man CE.
Digital Deluxe for me 👌🏾
I reckon collectors edition for me, don't need Ellie backpack, just the statue.
Neat-o. I'll just stick with the standard edition though.
Kind of hoping that standard box art isn't the final design. The first game's one was awesome, this is just Ellie's angry face.
Anybody else notice a similarity between the white title font on the black background and The Godfather 2? It's all I can see.
I just want the game but I'd buy that backpack if it was sold separately without all the other tat.
That steelbook is rather nice indeed in the special edition
I'm just after steelbooks these days so Special Edition fine for me.
@ApostateMage Curious as to why you want the backpack but not the other stuff?
@ApostateMage To be fair, it is a nice backpack.
@rjejr I didn't notice it until now. Could be a reason for that!
@JayDub A nice backpack like that is very useful. All the other stuff looks like something you'd have in your inventory in a point and click game.
@ApostateMage Fair enough, only really interested in the statue, artbook and steelbook my self, no interest in the other stuff etc
Special edition is nice enough but I agree. The cover needs changing.
Collector's Edition or Special Edition for me. I need to see the price first but that statue is mine...
Pretty sure I'm gonna grab the special edition. Already went specifically for the special edition of various other first-party PS games, so why not again. Steelbook + artbook is a great combination!
wouldn't mind the special edition, but i managed to pre-order ages ago (before any editions were even announced) for £39, and i don't think i'll be able to get a price that low again before release.
Special Edition. I want the Art Book.
Jeez I just want the game please.
I'll wait for the Joel edition. It is older than the Ellie edition as it comes out at end of the year for the PS5. Comes with a beard grooming kit, a foldable travel walking stick and hearing aid batteries (gotta hear those dang clickers).
I bet you can only get the special versions from Game in the UK. I think Sony should sell these special physical editions from their own ‘Gear’ store. I’d much rather Sony got the full profit than going through a third party retailer.
Hmmm, I was hoping for a different figure.
Ellie with Joel would have been nice.
Standard for me though id LOVE to pwn the statue but ive got enough ... stuff lol
Going for The Last of Us: Part II Special Edition if Amazon has it. Have they announced the prices, yet?
The special edition is probably what I'd go for, but really hope we can buy the vinyl soundtrack separately at some point!
I work nights so had a quick look online this morning and could find none of these editions to buy. Wake up this evening and have another check and yep, the collectors edition is a GAME exclusive and sold out. Oh well I'll probably get the special edition.
I can only find this at GAME at the moment but it doesn't state exclusive like the collector edition. Anyone seen it on sale elsewhere (UK)?
@roe "Could be a reason for that!"
I think the reason is I'm so old it's the last book I read. 😂
@ThroughTheIris56 Yeah, it just looks like a big face and also a game title next to it.
