The Last of Us Holiday Season Classic

While Naughty Dog's incredible follow-up, The Last of Us Part II, mostly stands out in our minds for the intensely violent nature of some of its more fraught scenes, PlayStation (and, by extension, Sony) thinks it could make for a pretty decent holiday season IP, provided you squint hard enough.

On X, the official PlayStation account shared a carefully cut trailer for the cinematic game, which is primarily concerned with destructive cycles of violence. The undeniably depressing title could, however, soon become a reason to gather the extended family around.

"Any game can be a holiday season classic if you want it to be," the PlayStation account ominously suggests. We're pretty sure Grandma hasn't had the opening act's biggest surprise spoiled yet, so this holiday season, we look forward to introducing the entire family to one of gaming's most brutal sequences.

What do you think? Should The Last of Us Part II be considered a Christmas IP, considering the events that take place in Wyoming over the holiday break in Naughty Dog's take on 2038? Stay optimistic in the comments section below.
