Are you a fan of the The Last of Us? Have been considering getting a PS4 Pro? Or have you wanted to swap your current one for a special edition version? Well, you might be in luck as Sony has revealed a The Last of Us Part II limited edition PS4 Pro which is engraved with Ellie’s tattoo design and a limited edition controller which has the game’s title on the touchpad as well as the tattoo design on its right side. The bundle will come with The Last of Us Part II game as well, and it will launch on June 19th. In addition, a special edition Gold Wireless Headset is also being released with the image of the tattoo engraved on it. There is also a limited edition 2TB Seagate external hard drive as well.
John Sweeney, Art Director at Naughty Dog, spoke about the custom console:
“When we first revealed The Last of Us Part II, we had no idea how quickly fans would embrace Ellie’s tattoo. Within a day, we started seeing real-life versions showing up on social media and fans have been sharing photos of their new tattoos with us week after week ever since.
When the opportunity arose to create a custom PS4 Pro for The Last of Us Part II, I worked with our graphic designer at the time, Angel Garcia, and we considered a few different ideas, but we kept coming back to Ellie’s tattoo. By that point, it had become a symbol of the game and for the community–much like the Firefly logo in the first game. It was the clear choice, but we wondered: what if it could be engraved? It hadn’t been done before, so we weren’t sure it was even possible, but thanks to the incredible efforts of the teams at PlayStation, we found a way.
The result is something we feel is really special–a design that honors the passion of our incredible fans and that we ourselves would be proud to own.
We can’t wait for you to see it in person and for you to experience The Last of Us Part II for yourselves!”
The console will be available for pre-order from today across multiple retailers.
