But no, the official announcement for the PS4 version of Naughty Dog’s _The Last of Us_ — and by official, I mean Sony’s own [Sony Entertainment Network](https://store.sonyentertainmentnetwork.com "undefined") — is a surprise banner gracing the carousel at the top of the company’s [PlayStation Games page](https://store.sonyentertainmentnetwork.com/#!/en-us/home/games "undefined"). The banner itself notes the game’s won “over 200 game of the year awards” bracketed by little film festival-ish laurel leafs. (In other words: “We’re art!”) If you click the banner, there’s nothing on the other side of the link, and there’s nothing listed about a release date or timeframe at this point. Maybe the non-announcement’s a store malfunction, or someone goofed up the publish date and we’re not supposed to know yet, or there’s a press release deluge happening as I type this, but the advert’s been up for awhile and no one’s taken it down, so I guess this is it folks: your very own official not-hyped, post-marketed version of an announcement about what’ll probably be the boutique version of what most consider to be one of the most accomplished video games yet made. I suppose there’s something refreshing about that. Also refreshing: that I didn’t have time to finish the PlayStation 3 version, which means I get to experience the remastered version with fresh eyes. I almost dove back in to wrap it (and the DLC) up over Thanksgiving, after (finally) finishing _Uncharted 3_. I’m glad I waited.
