Are we 100% sure that's final? Cuz it looks bad in a placeholdery way.

Yeah it's boring, but hopefully it isn't final and they'll swap it with something else.

i'm all for them telling a story that focuses on Ellie, even about her being angry and looking for revenge, but throughout the process of build game hype they've gone so hard on the "this is a story of hate" and grimdark with the atmos and trailers, the cover is just kinda dismal. it's just a bit much.

There is a thread on this, and it's not final. It says it on the small print. And, who cares, at the end of the day?

I think it's a really good cover actually looks like it conveys a lot of what this game is about. The darkness, the anger, the blood, it's all there.

Not every piece of media needs to look like something something Star Wars something something...

Looks like one of those dumb fan made box arts where they just screenshot a frame from a trailer and put a logo on it

probably one of the worst box arts this generation? idk i can't think of much worse off the top of my head right now.

no idea how someone saw that and was like "yes. yes this is the one."

It's unfortunate when they had such awesome promo posters but artwork seems to be rarely selected for boxarts

I know i'm on the minority here but I actually really like it. Anger, hatred, revenge, violence. It really captures the motif of the game.

Someone should really put in the title of the main thread that the box art isn't final.

It says on the images for the editions in little text "Artwork not final and subject to change" I'd be surprised if that's the final box art but maybe I'm wrong.

I don't like it either.
The boxart of the firs game was so much better...

But who cares? I just care about the game itself, honestly...

I really don't get what's bad about it, I like it and think it's better than the first one.

Also there's already a topic for this.

it's not final people and the negative reception will surely make they change.

it's gonna be Ellie at the forest posted many times here.

I think it's really good, people get weirdly hung up when boxart isn't the main characters standing around in a wide shot for some reason.

The art tells me everything I need to know about a sequel to Last of Us. Ellie's the main character and she's out for revenge, cool.

I also like the Death Stranding art, obviously it doesn't explain the game well other than showing Norman Reedus is in it and it's sci fi, but it definitely sets a mood, so does this one. To think Ellie standing in the woods with an, in comparison, expressionless face holding a gun is a better box art is crazy to me.

Type has to remain stacked, similar to the first game's cover, otherwise you've done fucked up.
