We quite like The Last of Us: Part II's official PlayStation 4 boxart, but it has become clear that some of you aren't quite as enthusiastic about it. Those that aren't a fan are in luck, however, because a "Standard Plus Edition" of the game will be released day and date with every other version of the game that features a reversible cover. It sports a lovely piece of artwork that Naughty Dog released a while back, but the kicker is that it's exclusive to just EB Games in Australia and GAME in the UK.
It's a twist on the image we've seen previously of Ellie donning a hunting rifle as she stalks her pray out in the wilderness. It's a great choice for a boxart, to the point where we're a bit disappointed that it's tied up in exclusivity for just two territories.
Do you prefer this image to the official PS4 boxart? Have a good moan in the comments below.

Fair play that is a beautiful cover
Well played making a good cover exclusive thats. 🤨
Looks a bloody ripper mate.
As a dinkum Aussie myself, I'll be picking this up day one, with a fresh jar of vegemite for the long kangaroo trip home.
@Ichiban ready for a good barbie mate can I come lol clear the snakes and spiders first tho
Looks great.
This will also be available in the UK as a Game exclusive: https://www.game.co.uk/en/the-last-of-us-part-ii-standard-plus-edition-game-exclusive-2663995
Looks good, more of an evolution of the original cover art which is a nice touch. I like both, but it's all about that collector's edition! Steelbook baybeeee!
@StartWars Updated the story, thanks for that!
I wouldn't mind having that reversible cover as the main cover art.
They're both great in their own way.
Considering the Ellie edition is exclusive to US, I'd say we're still not even close to being even.
I think this should happen a lot more, have a cover that pleases the marketing a reversible one for those of us that prefer something different
The cover could be blank and I would still buy it day one.
OOOh I like the reversible one more.
Yeah that reversible cover is better than the close-up face boxart. But I plan to buy the special steelbook edition or the digital one so this is no concern of mine
@LiamCroft And New Zealand too

They should make it standard (reversible covers) or let people vote on the final cover.
I like them both. The reversible is nicer, but the other one with the big writing and the close-up of Ellie says they're not messing about with this game.
@Splat Yes. This.
It's much better cover than the original, but I wish they could make the PS4 logo blue so it matches all of my other games.
Love both covers. Uncharted 4 had a great alternative cover too
Definitely better than the standard box-art.I don't usually use reversible covers but I'll probably be using this one.
I didn't mind the standard box art, but I saw it in-store and I think it's too dark. This reversible cover is way better and has ruined the standard art for me tbh. EB Games won't price match it though
