The Last of Us 2 Is 'Hands Down the Most Ambitious Game Naughty Dog Has Ever Made' - 'You Are Not Ready For TLOU 2' Says Troy Baker.
Its been over a year since we last got an update on the highly anticipated The Last of Us: Part II, but speaking at Manchester Comic-Con this weekend, star Troy Baker managed to whet our appetite with some tidbits about what we can expect from the title when the title deploys. The actor, who plays Joel in the series, was coy about sharing too many details – but he suggested that even hes been surprised by how the projects coming together.
“I can tell you this: its hands down the most ambitious game that Naughty Dog has ever done for sure,” he exclaimed, as part of a larger interview which will be published on Push Square later this week. “Its far larger than I thought was going to be possible.”
Of course, we all want to know when well actually be able to play it, and so we asked Baker if he had any more insight on actress Ashley Johnsons recent slip-up. For those of you out of the loop, the Ellie star seemed to suggest that the sequel will be out in February, but her co-star seemed confused by the apparent error.
“Itll be out 31st February, thats what [Johnson] said – people just took it out of context,” he joked. “Wow, Im sure she got a call from Sony saying, Shut up! Shes like, Guys, its a f*cking joke!”
He continued that he doesnt actually know the date: “I think theyve probably been smart not to tell us because we cant slip up and say something stupid. Last time we announced, we slipped. And they dont want to do that again. We are still cranking on it, I can tell you that much. Where its at in development, I have no idea. Everybody feels like its broken until its shipping, and then when its shipping theyre like, We shipped a broken game! And thats the gig of making a game.”
Uncharted star Nolan North, who was also in attendance during the interview, interjected that “theyre not going to release it until theyre ready to release it”. So were no wiser as to when the title will launch, but if Bakers comments on the scale of the game are accurate, then we can appreciate why the award-winning developers taking its time. Either way, we simply have to learn more soon – its been far too long since our last public update on the project.
