Finally, Neil Druckmann from Naughty Dog came out to announce that season two of The Last of Us hits HBO in April.

On a personal note, The Last of Us and Horizon Zero Dawn are two of my favorite games of all time, so this 10-minute burst of good news was welcome in the middle of a very long day at CES!
