Neil Druckmann from Naughty Dog revealed during the latest Game Maker's Notebook podcast from the Academy of Interactive Arts & Sciences (AIAS) that the PSX 2016 reveal trailer of the highly anticipated The Last of Us: Part II will not be a part of the game itself. That may not be the most surprising news we ever got, but now it's official - the trailer was shown for atmospheric purposes only.

"The first trailer we showed kind of exists purely as an announcement. It's not a scene that takes place in the game," is what Druckmann said.

The Last of Us: Part II has not yet received a release date but is in development exclusively for PlayStation 4.
