The Last of Us Part II could show up at PAX West…

Gamingtodaynews1g - The Last of Us Part II could show up at PAX West...

So if you don’t know this game was recently shown at the GameStop Manager’s Conference, albeit privately. Two days ago someone who presumably works there shared an image or Arne Meyer, the head of marketing at Naughty Dog, on stage with Part II’s logo behind him.

Later, the same person on Twitter shared a few details:

  • New footage for the game was shared, showcasing how clickers can be used against enemies.
  • This clip was pretty short.
  • It took place in a dark environment.
  • Naughty Dog would release a trailer of the game to the public “soon”

He or she also shared two more pictures: one of Troy Baker presenting to the crowd, and one of him on stage with a slide in the background showing photos of the people who were going to show up for this thing, which were: Troy himself, Shannon Woodward, and Arne Meyer.

So, later that day is when things got a bit more official. Shannon confirmed on Twitter, publicly, that she was headed for this conference. She also slyly hinted she knows Part II’s release date in a later tweet. On Instagram, the next day, she posted a picture of herself sitting in front of a massive poster for Part II.

GameStop’s official account on Twitter then went on to post a selfie of Asad Qizilbash, Arme Meyer, and Troy Baker in front of the GameStop conference audience. The picture- which I shared here yesterday -is captioned with “Thanks for bringing us The Last of Us Part II” – or something along those lines.

They also shared another image in the same thread, showing Troy, Shannon, and Arne signing autographs on Last of Us Part II posters.

Shannon later shared her own image in her Instagram story of her signing autographs.

So.. obviously this event has gotten quite a bit of buzz. Everywhere I look in the TLoU fandom the hype is ramping up. With GameStop making this official tweet that got a lot of traction, with word about Part II already being there spreading before and that getting a lot of attention, and then with Shannon’s constant teasing over the last two days, perhaps it’s safe to say we really don’t have to wait that long until we all see something.

And guess what is coming up: PAX West, which can be probable because…

  • Naughty Dog have a history over the years of going to PAX.
  • Naughty Dog have shown gameplay footage for The Last of Us Part I at PAX, years ago. They have also used it for other marketing purposes.
  • PAX West is in Seattle, a prominent location in The Last of Us Part II. Creative director Neil Druckmann confirmed a significant part of the game takes place in this city, and the E3 2018 gameplay demo was set there.
  • PAX West is a great venue to have interviews to further push the game, and panel talks for details as well.

So it’s definitely a possibility. PAX begins tomorrow and runs through the weekend. Keep your eyes peeled.
