Hi PlayStation.Blog! It’s been a busy few weeks making all of the arrangements, but we’re excited to confirm that Access PlayStation, GAME and IGN have teamed up to host a fantastic community event for Naughty Dog’s latest PlayStation 3 exclusive, The Last of Us.

Those of you who follow us on Facebook and Twitter may have noticed that over the last few weeks we’ve been giving you a chance to win tickets to this money-can’t-buy experience.

Sadly not everyone can win a spot, but the good news is that we’ll be livestreaming the entire event across PlayStation Blog, GAME.co.uk and IGN.com. Tune in to watch exclusive interviews with Naughty Dog, see a live gameplay demo from the team and take part in our live Q&A with not only the Naughty Dog team, but also Hollywood actress Ashley Johnson, the voice of Ellie.

We took a look at the Infected in our first video in The Last of Us Development series. We then explored the game world and nature’s reclamation of civilisation as we know it in our second video, Wasteland Beautiful. Our third video, Death and Choices, investigates what it means to be a survivor in the world of The Last of Us and how Joel and Ellie cope with the harsh realities of post-pandemic society. Watch it now:

Survival is moment to moment in the world of The Last of Us. There are stark consequences to every decision that’s made and if Joel and Ellie want to survive they’ll need to scavenge the environment for every possible advantage. Learning to craft more potent weapons from makeshift materials or take defensive precautions using found objects will be critical to their continued survival.

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:
