Special Editions Announced For The Last Of Us

Sony has just sent over the press release unveiling two Special Edition versions of The Last of Us. The two editions – one for Joel and one for Ellie – will bring a raft of goodies into the game and into your gaming environment.

The physical stuff is perhaps most interesting. There’s a mini artbook that features some of the art that helped to generate the world. You’ll also get the first issue in the comic series, The Last of Us: American Dreams. That Dark Horse comic series will delve into Ellie’s backstory and it has a variant cover exclusive to these editions.

There’s a poster and a DS3 skin featuring the face of your chosen star (depending on whether you get the Ellie or Joel pack) and you’ll also get your chosen character on the game pack artwork.

In-game content includes a Survival Pack which boosts multiplayer content with things like a melée attack booster, some bonus XP, customisable character items and in-game currency. It also includes bonus Ellie and Joel skins, once you’ve finished the single player campaign.

Then there’s the Sights and Sounds pack – also available to anyone who pre-orders the game from any retailer. It includes a dynamic theme, character avatars and the game’s soundtrack.

Finally, depending on which edition you choose, you’ll get Ellie or Joel costumes for Sackboy in LBP.

Here’s the promotional artwork listing all the goodies.
