Tomorrow marks The Last of Us Day, formerly known as Outbreak Day, and the occasion brings with it a variety of purchases and activities to participate in. From a free PlayStation 4 theme and discounts on the games themselves through to lovely statues and even an Abby cosplay guide, it has the lot. Naughty Dog has teased it will have a few more surprises for the day itself, so those hopes of a The Last of Us: Part II multiplayer Factions reveal on PlayStation 5 can still burn bright for now.
First up is the original soundtrack of the latest game on vinyl from Mondo as well as two new posters inspired by The Last of Us: Part II. These will all be revealed and made available for pre-order tomorrow over on MondoShop.com. Naughty Dog has also confirmed a board game is in the works based on the IP from the same folks who did similar things for Bloodborne and God of War.
Then there'll be an Abby cosplay guide, which details the best costumes, makeup, and props you can use to look just like the character. "We’re continually in awe of the level of thought and care that goes into representing our characters, which is why, last year, we wanted to share our support by releasing an official cosplay guide for Ellie. The response was incredible, and we’re proud to follow it up with an official cosplay guide for Abby."
Next, more premium statues will be purchasable through Gaming Heads. There are three different versions, each standing at 16" and feature Ellie holding different weapons in various poses. Then Mamegyorai Collectibles has put together a statue that takes fans back to the original game as Joel and Ellie form a unified stance and look just like they did in the original The Last of Us. That's one for the die-hards, for sure.
You'll also be able to celebrate The Last of Us Day through the PlayStation Store as well via a free PS4 theme which features the image players see on the main menu after beating The Last of Us: Part II. That can be downloaded right now through here. The Last of Us Remastered, The Last of Us: Left Behind, and Factions bundles will also be half price on the PS Store.
And finally, Naughty Dog will be hosting a Photo Mode contest from 9th October 2020 through until the 29th. "That’s why, we’ll be kicking off a brand new The Last of Us Part II Photo Mode Contest for the month of October. Each week, we’ll select winners that will receive a coveted Ellie Edition and runners up that will earn a The Last of Us Part II Limited Edition DualShock 4."

Factions 2. Please and thank you.
That Mamegyorai Ellie and Joel statue looks good.
Outbreak Day was a better name. R.I.P.
And a paid remaster 3 months after launch.
That's a pretty lazy wallpaper imo.
@Menchi That no one forces you to buy
Hopefully this year we in the UK can actually get the merch also. Last year we couldn't get the guitar or anything cool as the European store shut and US stores and sometimes mondo don't ship to UK
@naruball Even if they tried force me, it wouldn't happen with that disaster.
TLOU multiplayer was severely underrated. Still play it to this day.
Factions Part 2 please
Quietly hoping for a smart delivery-esque version for my second playthrough on ps5. Down for multiplayer as well
@Menchi that disaster is living rent-free in your head. Let it go, brother!
Imagine still moaning about The Last of Us: Part II more than three months after release. Aren't you bored by now?
@BowTiesAreCool You keep using that term. I don't think it means what you think it means.
I'm hoping Sony do a free upgrade for last of us 2 and ghost of tsushima. I can understand not doing a free upgrade for older games like spiderman etc, however seen as they are still new games that released this year, it would be a good will gesture to do a free upgrade even if they also sell a remaster for people that don't already own the games.
Well hopefully we get some multiplayer update tomorrow. Factions was brilliant, I don't play much online but I did enjoy it when I did play online it was quite tense when you got to the final weeks trying to keep everyone alive.
Abby cosplay guide? Just eat burritos everyday and your hand will be as megaman-like as abby lol.
A board game you say...unexpected...but colour me interested for sure!!
Factions would be good...maybe with a co-op spin like the upcoming Ghost of Tsushima offering also rather than just straight up PVP.
The Last of Us Day. Lol.
@LiamCroft Or imagine being worked up about what the company calls its own fictional day.
Cool stuff. The statues look pretty good.
@zupertramp Exactly! Outbreak Day was good, but the company decided to change the name and that's it! No need for extra drama. but welp... It's Naughty Dog, whatever they do seems to be filled with some sort of agenda that some people don't find compelling...
@LiamCroft Imagine moaning about someone moaning about something more than 3 months old. At least tag the guy so he can respond to your snide, unprofessional comment.
@LiamCroft Eh, if people are allowed to love on it, people are allowed to hate on it.
@Menchi Have a great weekend! Going for TLOUP2 plat, fingers crossed I can find that last workbench! peace and luuuurve.
@WexMajor Imagine moaning about someone moaning about someone moaning about... ah forget it.
No you're right though, it was a tad passive-aggressive but it's like bruh, we're talking about statues and cosplay... can't we just nerd out in relative peace?
Enjoyed the theme more than TLOU2
@zupertramp haha touche, I was wondering if my comment would lead down that rabbit hole. But I agree, it shouldn't have gone there on and article that wasn't even related to story or gameplay. I wasn't defending anyone, it just disappoints me how often people choose not to take the high road.
@blacklivesmatter I wish I could enjoy anything TLOU related but TLOU2 sure ruined that for me.
@WexMajor I'm just relieved you took that as the joke that it was.
Where is Abby's statue??? Wonder how many of that one would actually sell.
@LiamCroft Imagine complaining about the moaning about a game that doesn't sell anymore just three months after launch.
@Menchi Count on it. Just remember Sony just made 70$ a game (plus tax) official.
@Noob_Saibot I been saying this for awhile. A look at his turn from hard working single father to emotionally stunted cold blooded killer would be smashing. Plus yeah, more Tommy and Tess. Marlene even.
Edit: I should clarify, I don't really agree that they ruined anything but I'd take a prequel all the same.
@liamcroft Imagine being such a fan of something that the latest installment justs spits all over it. Both literally and figuratively.
@Deadlyblack I personally think the Post Pandemic collector's edition statues look better. These statues look slightly different. their faces don't look right in my opinion.
@Noob_Saibot - i disagree 100%. a sequel detailing how things worked out for abbey - does she find the fireflies and what happens? and where is ellie headed? what's going on with dina. these are much more interesting topics than going backward (for me, anyways).
btw - i loved LoU2 and so did everyone i know. ND just released another fantastic game as far as i'm concerned.
@Pikki - some people aren't happy unless they're complaining and putting something down.
as far as the statues, they're nice but i've never been into that sort of thing - i'm getting that free interactive background for my ps4 though.
@Nepp67 - not for me. i'd love to see a continuation of the story with dina, ellie and abbey. i think the rumor is ND is working on a brand new game - possibly set in space........and that sounds very interesting!
@eddie429 I mean good for you but I'm pretty much done with it. I'm trying to find reasons to enjoy the first game again but I can't get the thought of the second game out of my head. Every decision with that game was so horrible.
You people just never shut the ***** up do you? This is just some cool lil celebration for PEOPLE WHO BOUGHT AND ENJOYED THE GAME, if you didn't, ok cool, don't purposefully visit articles or even ND's twitter just to ***** all over the game when all we want to do is discuss it/celebrate it or just what we wish to see from Outbreak day come tomorrow
@whatever-156 so true. it seems to be the world we live in. some people aren't happy unless they're hating on everything.
@Nepp67 - sorry to be you, i guess. i thought LoU2 was fantastic. i do admit it was very hard watching what happened to joel.
