It is quite easy to get fooled by the internet; a tweet here, or a fake article there can trick even ardent fans. One thing that perhaps does not get past gamers as easily is an entire video game trailer, which was the case with a recentThe Last of Usteaser. Video game trailers are so detailed and well-made that faking one is difficult to do. However, a recent fake teaser ofThe Last of Uswas uploaded to YouTube and it fooled quite a few fans.
The Last of Us:Homecoming went viral and was trending for all the wrong reasons recently. Although many would love the idea of a single-player DLC forThe Last of Us,it turns out that a recently uploaded video named “Homecoming” is indeed fake.

The teaser trailer forThe Last of Us:Homecoming uses footage of previousThe Last of Usgames, along with voiceover from Joel. This makes the imagery rather believable. The trailer is also very short and to the point, and it is also edited very well. The video and YouTube channel uses the official PlayStation logo and information, making it look legitimate. The video ends by saying that the DLC will be available on August 07, 2025, as a PlayStation exclusive, which would add to the list ofPlayStation games for 2021.
Quite a few fans–whether in the comments of the video or on Twitter–were taken aback by the video, and many are still being fooled. Some still think that this DLC will arrive in April. The description of the video claims that the DLC will have players explore themes of survival and loyalty with Joel before he meets Ellie. Of course, that is not the case because the video is fake, adding to thelong list of fake video games.
The Last of Us Part 2was one of the highest-rated gameslast year, and many fans would love to get more from the series from Naughty Dog. However, there are others who have already had enough. With the franchise being so story-driven, the game may have already finished the narrative that it needed to tell. In fact, many of the fans that were fooled by this fakeThe Last of Us: Homecoming teaser were upset about the idea that more story was being told within the world, as they believe that it should be wrapped up for good.
Some of thecontroversies surroundingThe Last of Us Part 2simply have to do with the idea that the first game’s story was more than enough for some. Therefore, if another piece of DLC or yet another full-game was to be released inThe Last of Usuniverse, it could be hurt the experience. However, there are other fans who believe the world-building ofThe Last of Usis so remarkable that any storytelling within it could be beautiful and intense and dynamic with the right talent behind it.
