It’s hard to know, considering AGB doesn’t list the source, and the shots are without a watermark. But they are posted below anyway. If they are actual scans, which is how we’re leaning, we’ll remove the shots if asked and just leave the link. The Last of Us will be released sometime in late 2012 or early 2013 on PS3.
