In only a few weeks you will be able to get your hands on Naughty Dog’s hotly anticipated new title The Last of Us!

Set 20 years after a pandemic has radically changed civilization as we know it, The Last of Us follows Joel, a hardened survivor who is hired to smuggle a 14 year-old girl, Ellie, out of an oppressive military quarantine zone. What starts as a small job soon transforms into a brutal journey across what remains of the United States.

Across PAL regions, we have two very special editions that you can pre-order now and enjoy as soon as the game hits the shelves on 14th June – the mirror Joel and Ellie editions, based on the game’s protagonists. Check out trailers detailing the contents of each special edition below:

Here at PlayStation, we’re extremely excited to announce Simone Di Giorgi as the winner of our LittleBigPlanet PlayStation Vita internship placement with his fantastic mini-game creation, Flint – congratulations!

We assembled a select team of portable gaming enthusiasts from across Europe to test and review each of the mini-games that were entered in order to pick the best of the best and what a hard job you gave them! We’d like to say a huge thank you to the many of you that submitted such brilliant entries and really made it a tough process for our devoted European judging panel.

As part of this coveted placement with Sony, Simone from Italy will be flown out to Sweden to join top design studio Tarsier (the designers behind the game itself) to learn the ins and outs of game development and see his mini-game transformed into an amazing piece of published content for the whole LBP community to enjoy!

As you know, The Last of Us is coming to PAL regions on 7th May, 2013. The game centres around two key characters, Joel and Ellie, and their journey across a post-pandemic United States.

To celebrate these very special characters we’re delighted to announce The Last of Us: Ellie Edition and The Last of Us: Joel Edition – two special editions of the game exclusive to PAL regions.

Packaged in a tactile canvas wrap, the contents of The Last of Us: Ellie Edition and The Last of Us: Joel Edition should get any collector’s heart racing. Dark Horse teamed up with Naughty Dog to produce The Art of The Last of Us, a mini artbook filled with the remarkable artwork that gave shape to the game, as well as The Last of Us: American Dreams Issue #1, which is the first in a series of comic books that explores the backstory of Ellie. This mini version included in each of the special editions features a variant cover found only in these two products.
