The Last of Us 2: Sony studios are congratulating Naughty Dog with amazing crossover art

At long last, The Last of Us 2 is out in the wild. The much-anticipated sequel has launched to near-universal acclaim, and developers are congratulating Naughty Dog in wonderfully creative ways. Prominent devs including Bend Studio, Sucker Punch, Media Molecule, SCE Japan, and Cory Barlog went as far as to create some wonderful crossover art.

Bend Studio, who you'll remember for third-person zombie survival game Days Gone, shared this lovely image of protagonist Deacon trying to hitch a ride from Ellie, who's approaching on horseback with her signature smirk and naturally, a shotgun at her side.

Congratulations to all of our friends over at @Naughty_Dog on the long-awaited release of #TheLastofUsPartII! Mind if we hitch a ride? #TLOU2 #DaysGone pic.twitter.com/ao71x8yhrrJune 19, 2020

Meanwhile, Ghost of Tsushima studio Sucker Punch tweeted this whimsical shot of Ellie plucking away at her guitar while nearby Tsushima protagonist Jin Sakai plays his flute (which you can actually do in Ghost of Tsushima). Cheers to Sucker Punch artist Edward Pun for the beautiful art, and be ready for Ghost of Tsushima to launch July 17.

Media Molecule took a break from working on updates to Dreams PS4 to share an incredible animation of Ellie playing guitar. The art was crafted in Dreams by Media Molecule Art Director Kareem Ettouney.
