The Last of Us Part II - Official Launch Trailer | PS4

With The Last of Us Part II on its way to the PlayStation 4 on June 19, Sony and Naughty Dog are drumming up as much excitement for the narrative-driven experience as possible. A new launch trailer for The Last of Us Part II was released Wednesday, which, although brief, shows Ellie as a protagonist driven by a thirst for vengeance.

Just under a minute long, the brief launch trailer for The Last of Us Part II consists of several short video clips. It also provides footage from the story trailer for the game released last month, including Ellie violently attacking enemies, walking away from Joel, and swinging an axe. On top of it are audio clips of Ellie revealing her intentions to exact vengeance, saying she’s “gonna kill every last one of them.”

The game is just over a week away, and much anticipation has been built up. Between the visually impressive trailers, new accessibility options, and visceral gameplay, the sequel to the 2013 PlayStation 3 classic has shown a great deal of promise.

Although Naughty Dog and Sony experienced some turmoil following a host of leaks, the future seems bright for the Sony exclusive.

Microsoft just made its smallest Xbox controller ever, and it fits in your pocket
It weighs less than your phone, slips into your pocket, and still has every button you need.
Xbox Nano Controller

Xbox has announced the Nano Controller, the smallest controller the company has ever made. It’s designed for kids, players with smaller hands, and people who like to game outside the living room. The Nano measures a little over 5 inches long and weighs 3.5 ounces.

Even at this size, Xbox hasn’t removed any controls. You get all 18 standard inputs, so the button layout matches the Xbox controller you already know. I’m curious to see how it feels in adult hands during long gaming sessions, but for younger players, the smaller size makes a lot of sense.
