If there was any doubt The Last of Us: Part II will be getting anything less than a release date during State of Play, surely this makes it perfectly clear. Sony looks to be preparing for the game's marketing campaign, and the title's co-game director has snapped a mural adorning the side of a Los Angeles building. Here's the primary image, which made its way to Reddit.
If the platform holder is already starting the big push for Ellie's adventure, it surely means a release date is imminent, and that pre-orders will be going live sooner rather than later. Sony has gone a bit mad this generation when marketing its heavy hitters, so we expect it'll go all out for The Last of Us: Part II.
All eyes on State of Play, then.

Wooooooooooooooowwwwwwwoowooowow (just so I can have 'something more to say, PushSquare')
Sony needs to do the same thing they did with Spider-Man in NYC again... using a train in the subway to advertise this amazing game to be.
Phwoar!
@get2sammyb a December release isnt that far fetched idea right?
Is going to be releasing tomos or something?! 😱
@JohnnyShoulder LMAO, not impossible! It is actually a very effective marketing strategy to let loose all of a sudden and release a game, especially one this highly anticipated.
I've noticed a trend with Sony's big exclusives now. They don't tend to ramp up marketing until a game is about 5 months out from release. See Death Stranding, Spider-Man and Days Gone. Which if TLOU2 follows the same pattern should be out in February. It would also explain why Ghost of Tsushima has been quiet because it hasn't hit that 5 month window yet.
It can't be for nothing.
@DeepSpace5D

Been hearing that the TLOU press event will have an embargo till this Thursday at 8am PT so it looks like we won't be waiting long to hear more after tonight.
