In case you didn't already know, there's going to be a behind closed doors media event for The Last of Us: Part II later this month, on the 24th September. Until now, all we knew was that select members of the press would be seeing the game in action -- but the whole thing actually sounds like a much bigger deal than we were anticipating.
According to reliable industry insider ZhugeEX, attendees will get to play The Last of Us: Part II for three whole hours at the event. That's a huge chunk of time for a playable demo, and all but guarantees that upcoming previews will be stuffed with fresh information. What's more, this kind of in-depth look at the game suggests that Naughty Dog is ready to go all-in on an important announcement. Could a release date be coming our way? At this point, we wouldn't bet against it.
All that said, we could well be looking at a multiplayer announcement. Three hours of multiplayer action does seem more feasible than three hours of single player content, and it ties in with speculation regarding an incoming multiplayer beta. We're just gonna have to wait and see.
In any case, it's looking like Sony is going to end September with a bang, especially since rumours say that the company has another, currently unknown "event" happening before the month is out. Exciting times.

Are you guys invited?
I'm getting so excited I could pee. Only upcoming game I have any interest in.
Hope it's not just multiplayer stuff as I haven't got much interest in that, but either way very exciting!
With this much being shown I think the release date reveal has to be happening. How about a surprise December release to stay away from all the big games coming early next year?
I couldn't give a toss about multiplayer, but I am excited to see what the core game is like.
Hopefully they don't go too heavy on the mutliplayer.
Anybody remember God of War Ascension? I think it's the only PS3 game not to get a PS4 release.
I guess I should probably get around to finishing the first one. Been standing around in the hotel for a few years now.
Can't wait for this game. Sony's next BIG exclusive.
That's great and all, but what do we common folk get to see?
Probably going to be the cover game in next months Game Informer and the release date will be part of their coverage. Timing seems right for that, you heard it here first!!
If they aren't planning on giving the release date,they shouldn't even bother with this event. If this is released before March, I will buy it.If its March or beyond,im skipping it, and wait for late 2020 inevitable ps5 remastered edition.
Valentine's Day baby, let's go!!!
Closed-door events annoy me. Are we back in the 90s?
Also, what the hell is with you guys bashing MP? The last of us MP was some of the best MP I’ve ever played.
@BearsEatBeets I'll bet a April release. Death Stranding is the end of the year release
@oldschool1987 no way, it won't release closer to Cyberpunk 2077. that would be stupid marketing strategy
@oldschool1987 I don't feel it will be that late, I think late Jan/Feb. Looks like we should know in week anyway.
@Playstation5 honestly, I wasn't aware of when Cyberpunk would release. Yeah that would be stupid, Cyberpunk would suffer
@BearsEatBeets you may be right. Probably Valentines Day for a laugh
@OmegaStriver Facts, multiplayer is still being played till this day. Hope the beta news is true as I won't be spoiling myself anymore of the singleplayer.
Getting more intrigued by these vibes!
