Dev Apologizes for Failing to Properly Credit a Song Used in The Last of Us Part II’s TV Spot



Last week, Sony and Naughty Dog launched a couple of cinematic TV spots for The Last of Us Part II. The trailers featured Ellie singing a cover of copyrighted music that was not properly credited to the cover?s singer and songwriter, Anna-Lynne Williams who goes by the stage name Lotte Kestner. Such oversight led to the companies? publicly coming under fire, but it seems the matter has since been resolved.
The Last of Us Part II?s Creative Director, Neil Druckmann, addressed the controversy in a recent tweet on his personal Twitter page. Lotte Kestner?s cover of New Order?s ?True Faith? did indeed inspire the rendition sung by Ellie. Druckmann admitted as much in the aforementioned post. He additionally apologized and promised to quickly rectify the issue of Kestner not originally receiving credit. The singer later responded with the following post,
