The official Ape Escape 20th Anniversary Twitter account is pretty well-known for combining a mish-mash of games with goofy and downright weird art. The Last of Us Part 2’s launch was one of their victims games that came with wacky art.
To honor the game’s debut, official art of Ellie with some of the monkeys has been released! However, she might want to be careful, as some of them look infected. The art also features callbacks to both The Last of Us and The Last of Us Part 2. The stop sign in the background has The Fireflies’ logo on it, and Ellie is playing her guitar, something she plays often during the sequel. We also have two monkeys listening, as well as a Stalker and Clicker monkey stepping dangerously close…
They’ve been having lots of fun with the psychedelic promotional art:
The Last of Us Part 2 is available for the PlayStation 4, (along with a version of the PS4 with Ellie’s tattoo!).
