The PlayStation store is selling guitars now. If you’re a fan of Naughty Dog’s Last of Us series, either the games or the TV show, you can now preorder a replica of Ellie’s guitar that Joel customized with the custom moth inlay fretboard. This guitar was first featured in The Last of Us Part II and made an appearance in the second season of the HBO series.
The guitar is a collaboration with Taylor Guitars and is a special edition of the Taylor 314ce. You can preorder it for $2,999.99 at the PlayStation Store and it will officially release on November 18, 2025. It’s listed in the PlayStation store’s hardware section among various consoles, controllers, and other accessories.
Taylor 314ce The Last of Us Part II Replica Guitar
The guitar has distinctive rich tobacco sunburst top in Sitka spruce pulled straight from the game and the latest season of the TV show.
If you think that $3,000 is a ridiculous amount of money to pay for a guitar, it’s actually not that terribly priced, especially for a nice acoustic guitar. The standard Taylor 314ce costs around $2,499 on its own without the Last of Us details included.
It’s worth noting that Taylor is selling a slightly cheaper version of this replica directly from its website. It’s a Taylor 314c (rather than a 314ce) and it’s priced at $2,799 without the bundled accessories.
What’s next for The Last of Us?
This replica guitar is the latest piece of merch inspired by the popular Naughty Dog game and likely won’t be the last. But what about new games and episodes of the show? Game-wise, The Last of Us Part 3 has yet to be officially confirmed and it seems unlikely that it ever will be. Creator Neil Druckman has said during an interview to not “bet on there being more of ‘Last of Us.’ This could be it.”
As for the TV series, HBO CEO Casey Bloys confirmed that Season 3 of the show is definitely planned to arrive in 2027. He also said that this season will potentially be the last run of episodes.
Enotria: The Last Song developers Jyamma Games are making a new action-RPG inspired by and named after Dante Alighieri’s 14th century epic poem La Divina Commedia, aka the Divine Comedy.
Like the poem, it sees you descending through the circles of Hell, each the geological manifestation of a particular Sin. Unlike the poem, it features a set of combat classes, a choice of protagonist genders, a narrative alignment system, procedurally generated extraction dungeons, and customisable weapons and armour. As the poet himself might say: in the middle of the journey of our life I came to myself within a dark wood where I had to grind for crafting materials.
Black Myth: Wukong developers Game Science have revealed Black Myth: Zhong Kui, another single-player action-RPG steeped in Chinese mythology. It casts you as a ghost-hunting god who wanders between hell and Earth. Here’s a CG short from Gamescom’s Open Night Live 2025, which shows the fearsomely bearded Zhong Kui himself riding an extravagantly sized tiger.
Sony and Sucker Punch Productions have announced Ghost of Yōtei will receive free Legends multiplayer co-op DLC in 2026.
A new trailer for the bonus mode showed up during gamescom Opening Night Live 2025, revealing little more than some intriguing art and a promise to launch next year. Still, it’s footage that comes with even more from Sucker Punch’s new action sequel as its October 2, 2025, release date inches closer.

Bloober Team has unveiled its latest trailer for Cronos: The New Dawn on Switch, and it’s probably the best one yet.
Starting from the perspective of a cat, of all things, it quickly descends into chaos, with monsters roaming about, weird telekinetic abilities, and even some nifty anti-grav sections.
As always, gamescom 2025 kicked off with an Opening Night Live showcase, giving fans a fresh look at the amazing titles in store from Xbox for the rest of this year.
Opening the show, viewers got a huge first look at Call of Duty: Black Ops 7, showing off the game’s co-op Campaign, and teasing what’s ahead for Multiplayer and Zombies. That came alongside new gameplay for The Outer Worlds 2, Ninja Gaiden 4 and Indiana Jones and the Great Circle’s The Order of Giants DLC. Plus, we showed off more of Double Fine’s otherworldly Keeper, revealed a new expansion and a PS5 release for Age of Empires IV: Anniversary Edition, and offered up the cinematic trailer for the World of Warcraft: Midnight expansion.
And to cap it all off, we also introduced a teaser for Season 2 of the award-winning Fallout TV show.
And this is just the beginning, with gamescom now officially underway, Xbox will soon be opening the doors to our showfloor booth, and showing off everything from the ROG Xbox Ally handhelds, to a first public hands-on for Ninja Gaiden 4, to Hollow Knight: Silksong, to an exclusive theater presentation of even more gameplay from The Outer Worlds 2– and much, much more besides.
If you can’t attend the show, fear not. Xbox Wire will be publishing stories all week, covering games from our booth, while the Xbox @ gamescom Broadcast will bring you even more first-look gameplay, new trailers, announcements and deep-dive interviews live from the show floor across August 20 and 21. There’s so much more to tell you about.

Silent Hill f made an appearance at Gamescom Opening Night Live this evening with a brand new trailer, and our first listen at the English actor portraying main character Hinako, Suzie Yeung.
The new trailer opens with Hinako waking up in a dark room, seemingly confused. As she wanders, it seems she’s in some kind of shrine, and ends up following a figure with a blue lamp deeper in. She’s then attacked by those freaky dolls we’ve seen in past trailers, and we see shots of a number of other unsettling rooms in the shrine.
The trailer cuts to another scene at an old house on a rainy day, which Hinako seems to recognize as her own. We see her with her clothes torn and bloody, and a creepy woman’s voice giving instructions to kill everyone, and then Hinako confronting one of her classmates. All-in-all, not nearly as gory as the last trailer, but still plenty unnerving.
Silent Hill f will be out shortly, on September 25 of this year, on Xbox, PlayStation, and PC. We played it for five hours earlier this month, and you can read our preview right here.

Valor Mortis, a soulslike set during Napoleon’s 19th century conquest of Eastern Europe, has been revealed by Ghostrunner devs One More Level during Gamescom Opening Night Live‘s preshow. It’s set for release in 2026.
Yep, if you’re a fan of games that drip with Frenchness and also revolve around beating up gaudily-health barred baddies before they do the same to you, this one might have you reaching for your musket and bicorne. That’s assuming the setting offers enough of a unique feel that Valor Mortis doesn’t resemble being trapped on a Fromsoft-imitation Elba.
