Cosplay FTW!


Although it's just two months away, it feels like The Last of Us is never going to get here. Naughty Dog, the developer behind the survival action game and the folks who gave us the Uncharted series, are hard at work finishing up The Last of Us, but that doesn't mean the studio isn't up for some fun.

How would you like your name in The Last of Us? Not in the credits -- in the actual game.

It could be you!

Our first hands-on preview with the game brought to light a group known as the Fireflies. Not much is known about them, but the demo had us taking Ellie to the group. Apparently, members of the Fireflies will have left their dog tags all over the world you're struggling to survive in. These dog tags will act as collectibles, and Naughty Dog is giving eight U.S. IGN readers the chance to have their names included in the game on these dog tags.

How is Naughty Dog going to pick winners? Easy -- a cosplay contest. Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to cosplay as any character from The Last of Us. Clickers, Joel, Tess -- you decide. (Lots are featured in the videos here on IGN, so go nuts.) You submit your photo, name, and age between now and April 24th to Beyond@ign.com with the subject line "Last of Us Cosplay." Then, Ashley Johnson -- Ellie in The Last of Us -- is going to page through the photos and pick the eight winners.

She's on Up at Noon next Monday, so if you get your shots in soon, she might even critique yours on the show.

Once the winners are chosen, Naughty Dog will reach out, and you'll get in the game. Sound good? Good -- get to work on those costumes!
