The podcast will feature talks with series stars Ashley Johnson (Ellie) and Troy Baker (Joel) and members of the development team, including Neil Druckmann.

A limited-edition PlayStation 4 Pro console themed around The Last of Us Part II will be released alongside the game. The console has a matte finish and is engraved with series star Ellie's signature fern tattoo.
