It’s there with others like _Braid_ and _Flower_ and _Ico_. But yes, _The Last of Us Part II_ is now officially a thing. [Sony](http://time.com/4483253/playstation-4-pro-slim-specs-release-date/ "undefined") and Naughty Dog unveiled the game, presumably to follow in the original’s footsteps as a harrowing, narrative heavy action-adventure, during its [PlayStation](http://time.com/4550884/best-playstation-4-games-exclusive/ "undefined") Experience event in Anaheim, Calif., this weekend. In the 4-minute clip, we’re in a very pretty forest, then beside a tree with claw marks, then by the rusted hulk of a car. The camera pulls back to show the fireflies emblem — for the militant group from the first game — emblazoned on a teetering stop sign (at this point, you can hear the audience go wild). I won’t narrate all the rest here, but Ellie makes an appearance, as does Joel. At one point, Joel asks Ellie if she intends to go through with something. To which Ellie replies “I’m gonna find, and I’m gonna kill, every last one of them.” ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4589722/the-last-of-us-part-ii-trailer/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4589722/the-last-of-us-part-ii-trailer/"},"headline":"The Last of Us Part II Sounds Like a Bloody Revenge Story","datePublished":"2016-12-03T20:35:53.000Z","dateModified":"2026-06-24T06:56:58.773Z","description":"Ellie and Joel are back","url":"https://time.com/4589722/the-last-of-us-part-ii-trailer/","keywords":["Tech","Video Games","Sony","PlayStation 4","Trailers"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltaee2e4dd77f2fcf3/6988b07c2dce01ae299eb9cb/txp9byibpzh3ycusxa6ivc-1200-80.png?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Matt Peckham","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/matt-peckham/"}],"articleSection":"Business","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltaee2e4dd77f2fcf3/6988b07c2dce01ae299eb9cb/txp9byibpzh3ycusxa6ivc-1200-80.png?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"txp9byibpzh3ycusxa6ivc-1200-80","caption":"The Last of Us II","creditText":"PlayStation","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/business/","name":"Business"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-tech/","name":"Tech"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4589722/the-last-of-us-part-ii-trailer/","name":"The Last of Us Part II Sounds Like a Bloody Revenge Story"}}]},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"This Video Is No Longer Available","description":"Ellie and Joel are back","thumbnailUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/v2/media/fKodeUO6/poster.jpg?width=720","uploadDate":"2026-06-23T15:00:44.000Z","contentUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/manifests/fKodeUO6.m3u8","embedUrl":"https://time.com/4589722/the-last-of-us-part-ii-trailer/","duration":"PT10S","potentialAction":{"@type":"SeekToAction","target":"https://time.com/4589722/the-last-of-us-part-ii-trailer/?jw_start={seek_to_second_number}","startOffset-input":"required name=seek_to_second_number"}}] ```
