To Celebrate The Last of Us’ Annual Outbreak Day
Naughty Dog is commemorating the fourth anniversary of The Last of Us series’ Outbreak Day with a new poster and a new PS4 Dynamic theme. September 26th is an important date in TLOU’s lore as it’s the day where Cordyceps Brain Infection reached critical mass in 2013 and crippled the world. Fun fact: Joel’s birthday also falls on this day which probably makes cashing in that free Denny’s meal a lot more awkward.
Regarding the new poster seen above, Naughty Dog’s Scott Lowe writes on the company’s site that the poster is a second TLOU collaboration with artists Kevin Tong and Mondo. “To ensure everyone has a chance to buy one, Mondo is making the Outbreak Day 2017 poster a timed-edition release. Beginning today at 10:00am PT until Friday, September 29 at 10:00am PT, anyone can pick one up via MondoTees.com without fear of it selling out, but after that, it’s gone. Don’t miss it!” Besides that, Lowe mentions that there’ll be new TLOU merch in the form of a shirt which has the sequel’s logo on a black shirt.
Need to make your PS4 gloomier? Naughty Dog’s got you:
The PS4 Dyanmic theme draws inspiration from the sequel’s reveal trailer at PSX. It’s slightly boring, if I’m totally honest, and will likely not replace my Final Fantasy IX PS4 theme which is all kinds of awesome. Check out PSN now for some other TLOU sales which includes a 50% sale on the remastered original.
