Upon Naughty Dog’s and Sony’s announcement of the original February 2020 release date for The Last of Us Part II, Dark Horse unveiled an art book. The Art of the Last of Us Part II tome was to release in early March, not too long after the game itself. However, the sequel’s delay understandably switched things around. Now the art book will launch June 2, 2020, mere days after Part II hits the PlayStation 4.
This updated information comes courtesy of an Amazon listing for The Art of the Last of Us Part II. Preorders are still live for the book, which has a list price of $39.99. However, at the time of writing, Amazon’s listing shows a mark down to $35.99. How long this slightly lower cost will remain intact is not currently specified by the online retailer. A $19.99 Kindle version is also available to preorder.
Dark Horse’s The Art of the Last of Us Part II is a 200-page hardback, replete with insights about the sequel’s development. Most notably, fans should anticipate original art and commentary from the creators to fill out the exhaustive volume.
