So, how is development coming along on The Last of Us: Part 2? We've no real idea, of course, but every so often we get a little clue. Neil Druckmann, director on the hotly anticipated sequel, has taken to Twitter to share that the very last scene in the game has now been filmed. The shot of the script does contain a spoiler, which is a bit of a bummer. Now we know how the game ends -- a cut to black. Curse you, Druckmann!
In all seriousness, while this will surely have been an emotional scene to shoot, it doesn't necessarily mean that filming is now complete. Films and games are rarely shot in sequence, so Naughty Dog could still be in the middle of filming for all we know. Let's hope we learn a little more about this elusive game soon. Will it be out before the end of the year, or are we looking at a 2020 launch? Have a think in the comments below.

Was it filmed in order though? Plenty of films are filmed out of order so they could still be halfway through!
@nessisonett "Films and games are rarely shot in sequence, so Naughty Dog could still be in the middle of filming for all we know."
Snap!
@Quintumply That’s what I get for not reading the whole thing!
Personally i still think this will be Sony's big release in the autumn.
Failing that, it will get the GoW/Horizon/Days Gone treatment and be out next spring as Sony have seen a lot of success in that release window - so by May at the latest.
I can wait i still have alot of games to play until this comes out so they can take there time
Its coming out at the end of the year, keep your knickers on.
he also said Laura B s done too.
Ironically there hasnt been any official reveal of who her character is even if ND said she s one of his fav character?
@JJ2 The Popular Theory is Ellie's Mom
@Areus
Yea I know. A bit weird that they dont say anything though.
Also weird ND said he got influenced by the actress voicing the main vilain into having a character get pregnant. A bit intriguing.
Shooting? Filming? What is this, a video game or a movie? Jeez give me some stars to collect or something. What a bummer.
PlayStation 5 launch title
@kyleforrester87 Theres a clicker over in that room i could easily avoid, but i need to collect that missing feather/hat/bubblewand collectable its guarding dammit. #gaming
@Rob_230 haha exactly. At least make damage numbers come off them when I hit them. Come on ND.
@kyleforrester87 You'll get a map with waypoints and towers, happy?
Doubt it will be out this year. We're already in April and the holidays are already going to be crowded as is. Makes more sense to point it to Q1 2020 and really let it shine on its own to me. Lou is not a series I'm personally really into but I really hope it meets everyone's expectations!
@redd214 The question is, if TLOU doesn't come out this year; what's their big summer/holiday title? Death Stranding or Ghost of Tsushima?
@Octane I mean do they really need one?? Biggest exclusives have come in the first half of the year the last few (outside of Spiderman). UC4, Infamous, MLB the Show, Bloodborne, GOW, Horizon all Spring. Even the upcoming Days Gone. I think they've proved they don't need to have a huge 1st party game in the crowded holiday time to be successful
@redd214 I think more because this year feels a bit more shallow compared to previous year if none of the big three make it. And next year will see Death Stranding, Ghost AND TLOU2? In addition to the PS5? That's a bit overkill I think. So I still expect that at least one of the big three will see a release this year.
@redd214 What exactly is coming out in the holidays that can compete with Last of Us 2? Only one I can think of that could compete with it is Cyberpunk 2070, which is looking like getting a release date for this year, going off their comments about being the biggest moment for them at e3 etc. If so I would agree they probably should move to early next year since Cyberpunk a big multiplat.
But it already has been leaked that one of the big ps4 games is coming out at the end of the year if they can reach it in time, its pointing to Last of Us 2, the other two are def 2020.
@Octane it’s what the people demand!
@MrMagoot I'm not saying that there is something that will be as be as big as LoU2 coming this holiday, I'm saying it makes more sense to have it release when it can soak up all the limelight by itself. Of course it'll get GOTY consideration no matter what and will sell fine, but like I said Sony has proven this gen that they don't need to slot in a big 1st party game in the holidays and I think it's working out well for them. We shall see
@Octane I'm not even convinced Death Stranding is even a video game yet lol. My gut tells me even 2020 for that is a reach.
@redd214 What the heck am I going to do if it releases in 2020, you are killing me lol All good.
@redd214 Kojima kept saying the year in which the anime Akira is set (2019 fyi), and ''definitely before the Tokyo Olympics'' in the summer of 2020. So we shall see!
Ghost of Tsushima is another weird one. Revealed in 2017, with the idea that they specifically waited with the reveal because they didn't want to reveal it ''too early''. 2017. And we're now looking at a possible 2020 release. How is that not the definition of ''too early''?
RIP TloU 2019 hype. There's no way this game will be release this year.
Ellie totes dies.
@MrMagoot lol sorry man!
@Octane can't say I believe Kojima in regards to release dates lol
If 1 of the big 3 comes out his year,it's going to Be TLOU.
Although a surprise reveal of ghost of Tsushima this year would be the highlight of the year for me. I mean if they are indeed already working on DLC than the game could Be almost finished.
I hope atleast one of them from TLOU 2 or Ghost of Tsushima releases this year. This year looks pretty barren when it comes GOTY quality games! Last year we already knew about 3 GOTY quality games GOW,RDR2 and Spider-Man arriving.
If Cyberpunk comes out this late this year that will hold me over till Last of Us 2 at least.
Is it possible to be scared, excited and sad all at the same time?
@CK97 never taken a chainsaw to your pet dog on the night before Christmas?
I will happily wait however long it takes for the last of us 2 but when this game does finally come out I am pushing aside everything else to play this
