The Last of Us 2isn’t normally something that people would call cute, but Naughty Dog has managed to prove otherwise. Every Friday, its Twitter account shares a piece of community-submittedThe Last of Us2-related fan art, and this week was no exception. The fan art, submitted by Diamond Angelic, gives fans a glimpse of Ellie and Dina inAnimal Crossing’sart style. Ellie and Dina look like characters straight out ofAnimal Crossingin the image, and withAnimal Crossing’s release date on the horizon the artwork appears especially relevant.
Fans ofThe Last of UsandAnimal Crossingare well aware of how different the two games are. After all, one isa zombie game known for its dark, gripping storyand the other a life-sim in which you pay off debt and interact with animal villagers. But, despite the differences between these games, there are many players who are happy to play both of them.

The Last of Us 2andAnimal Crossing: New Horizonsare two of the year’s biggest releases, so players are eager to get whatever content they can. Fans have waited years for these games, withThe Last of Us,which many consider to be the game of the decade, being released in 2013 andAnimal Crossing: New Leafin 2012. Both communities have been running on the fumes of announcements and fan-made content for quite a while, to say the least.
Animal Crossinghas certainly been able to placate fans better thanThe Last of Ushaswith the release ofAnimal Crossing: Pocket Campand the inclusion of of Isabelle inSuper Smash Bros. Ultimate. Fans ofThe Last of Us,however, haven’t had such luck; not much has been said aboutThe Last of Us 2as of late since its delay. Really, the only way for fans to get theirThe Last of Usfix has been throughThe Last of Us: American Dreams,a comic miniseries released in 2013, or going back to play the first game and its DLC.
Fans ofAnimal Crossingdon’t have to wait long for new content sinceAnimal Crossing: New Horizonsis set to be released March 20, but the same can’t be said forThe Last of Usfans.After its release being delayed in October of last year,The Last of Us 2now has a release date of May 29. With more than two months until release, it’s content like this crossover that helps Naughty Dog keep hype up. And maybe it’ll get someAnimal Crossingfans to considerThe Last of Us 2in the meantime.
The Last of Us 2is being released exclusively for PS4 on May 29.
