There’s less than a month to go before The Last of Us hits the PlayStation 3. I’ve got this feeling that the game will be the final hoorah for Sony’s console before the PlayStation 4 begins to hog the limelight; a swan-song of sorts, I guess.

Despite the fact that the game is still a few weeks away, Sony Computer Entertainment of America is not wasting any time when it comes to planning the future of the IP. Domain names for lastofus2.com and lastofus3.com have just been registered. As Shacknews points out, every title that Naughty Dog has developed thus far has been turned into a long-running series, so it wouldn’t be surprising if The Last of Us maintained this tradition.

This could, of course, all just be cautionary planning. As we’ve seen in the past, private individuals regularly squat on domain names with the sole intention of selling it on to big companies. It’s likely that SCEA is moving to prevent this happening for the off-chance that the game gets two sequels. Hell, at least they didn’t go nuts like EA recently did when they registered domains for Battlefield13.com all the way to battlefield20.com.

You may want to be careful when you spend tonight trawling through 4chan, Reddit and other corners of the Internet where content of shady origins is likely to be found. Some sneaky people have managed to hack the code of the recently released demo for The Last of Us and have found all sorts of files that provide information on the full game’s plot.

The demo, which came with copies of God of War: Ascension, contained files that will obviously only be utilised by the full game. It’s not unusual for demo code to include other bits of dormant code from the main game. In this case, those with the ability to dredge through the demo’s code, found a list of names for all of the game’s cut-scenes. The names are obviously blatant enough to divulge the content of each cut-scene and as such the Internet now knows what’s in store for all of the game’s main characters. The ending of the game has also been uncovered.

With around 6 weeks to go before the game is released, you’re going to need to exercise some serious caution when it comes to reading online content on The Last of Us. You’ve been warned! Have fun now!
