The Last of Us 2’s absence at E3 2017 left every PlayStation fan who loved the first game of the series disappointed.
Every PlayStation fans (including us) were hoping to get something new from Sony’s E3 2017 press conference and when President & CEO of Sony Interactive Entertainment America (SIEA) and Chairman of SIE Worldwide Studios, Shawn Layden said: “Now, let me leave you with a true PlayStation exclusive, a true exclusive from Playstation…from one of the industries’ most respected developers”

Most of them watching the press conference got super excited that it will be Naughty Dog’s action-adventure survival horror, The Last of Us Part II…but it was Insomniac Games’ action-adventure video game, Marvel’s Spider-Man.
And right after the Sony’s E3 2017 conference was over, Naughty Dog‘s creative director and programmer Neil Druckmann tweeted “I’m just as stoked as y’all to play the final build of Uncharted: The Lost Legacy!
Word on the street is, it’s a beast” and followed that tweet with “Another killer show, Sony. Props.”
And finally he takes his time to explain why The Last of Us Part II wasn’t at E3 2017, “Believe me, we’re super excited to show you more of Ellie and Joel’s 2nd journey, but right now it’s Chloe and Nadine’s time to shine.”
Well, there you have it, they want the entire focus to be on Uncharted: The Lost Legacy for now, since they dropped a story trailer and additionally footage of the game during E3 2017.
Looks like we will get some stuff from The Last of Us 2 at PlayStation Experience event in December 2017.
The Last of Us Part II is currently in early development for PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 4 Pro.
