The Last of Us Part II 2 sells more than 4 million copies in opening week

The Last of Us Part II has been at the centre of many debates since its release on June 19. Despite the controversy, the title has still managed to find its audience as more than 4 million players have decided to immerse themselves in the continuation of Joel and Ellie's adventures.

Neil Druckmann, Vice President of Naughty Dog and Director of The Last of Us Part II, wrote a message to the fans to celebrate the new record:

We are so immensely grateful to the millions of fans around the world that have played The Last of Us Part II and shared their experiences with us over the last week. We set out to tell a new kind of story, one that deals with difficult themes and would challenge you in unexpected ways. Hearing how the experience has resonated with so many of you and witnessing the type of thoughtful discussions it has sparked has been so incredible. We’ve also been so inspired by your creativity — whether it’s your gorgeous Photo Mode shots, jaw-dropping gameplay GIFs, or the songs you’ve recorded using Ellie’s guitar. The Last of Us Part II was made possible thanks to the efforts of the hundreds of talented and passionate developers here at Naughty Dog. We can imagine no greater honor than seeing that same passion mirrored by the people playing it. Thank you for helping us reach this amazing milestone.

The game tackles strong and complex themes through a very innovative narration. This has led to a lot of debate around its storytelling and characters. In any case, it's a great victory for Naughty Dog and its employees who have worked for seven years on this monumental project.
