The newly-renamed The Last of Us Day is coming on September 26, but Naughty Dog is celebrating early by dropping a bunch of new content on its official Twitter. The annual event, usually called Outbreak Day, is often accompanied by Naughty Dog releasing new merchandise and content for its fans.
Although The Last of Us‘s release date was in June seven years ago, September 26 is the day the in-game virus attacked the world, and so for the last several years, Naughty Dog has been celebrating the day formerly known as Outbreak Day on the 26, having renamed the festivities in light of the very real pandemic still affecting so many people around the globe. Fans often get access to content like posters and PS4 themes, and before The Last of Us 2 came out, players were sometimes treated to teasers about the sequel.
This year, the new content includes an OST soundtrack vinyls, limited edition posters, an Ellie cosplay guide, figures of Ellie and Joel, a free The Last of Us 2 PS4 theme, A Joel Funko Pop!, a T-shirt and mug, and a Photo Mode contest. Clearly there will be a ton of collectibles and merchandise available on the 26, but there’s also some free stuff that fans who aren’t willing to splurge could still enjoy, like the PS4 beach theme.
The upcoming The Last of Us board game comes from Naughty Dog’s partnership with CMON, who made the Bloodborne board game. While Naughty Dog confirms that its board game is in development, there aren’t a ton of details available at this time, so fans will have to wait for more information. Meanwhile, the TLOU2 OST is coming to 2XLP vinyl along with two never-before-seen posters, which will be revealed and available for pre-order on the 26 at 9 AM PT.
Collectors may also be intrigued about the Joel and Ellie figure statues, and the Ellie statue includes three versions: base, Stealth (with interchangeable arms and headpiece), and Hunter (with a higher-quality paint finish). And The Last of Us cosplayers are getting what could be a very useful resource in the form of a PDF with detailed shots of “every facet” of Ellie, along with references that are designed to make cosplaying this survivor easier than ever. The Photo Mode Contest also has a lot of potential, and winners can get either an Ellie Edition or a The Last of Us 2 DualShock controller.
People interested in learning more can check out Naughty Dog’s website, and keep their eyes on social media for when tomorrow comes and pre-orders open for some of the merch.
