The Last of Us Day Takes Place on September 26th. On the PlayStation Blog, Naughty Dog gave a peak at what to expect from the event, which will be accessed here at 9:00 a.m. PST. It was revealed that the developer will be working with Mondo to put out a 2xLP vinyl album of The Last of Us Part II's soundtrack. They will also be putting out two new screen-printed posters. The studio will be working with Gaming Heads to put out three new figures of Ellie. Mamegyorai will be releasing two figures, one of Joel, the other of Ellie. These statues sit separately at 1/9 scale, and can be adjoined to form a unified scene. It has also been revealed that a board game based on The Last of Us is on the way. The game is being done by CMON, the makers of Bloodborne: The Board Game and God of War: The Card Game. Development of the board game is under way, and more information will be released "when the time is right."
