Tash Sultana releases official cover of The Last Of Us Part II song "Through The Valley"

Last month, the highly-anticipated PlayStation game The Last Of Us Part II was released, seven years after the first game.

During the initial reveal trailer back in December 2016, the game's main character Ellie plays "Through The Valley" on her guitar. The song is originally sung by Shawn James.

When the game was released last month, PlayStation recruited Tash Sultana to re-record "Through The Valley", and now it's finally been released on streaming services.

Tash Sultana says of the cover, "This is the first time I’ve done a collab like this. Usually it’s kinda just like writing sessions with other musos but this is for a game and it’s different as it's not my usual style to venture into so I’m completely honoured to be asked to do something like this. The response from gamers has been incredible."

Patrick Lagana, Director of Marketing at Sony Interactive Entertainment Australia added, ""Through The Valley" became a #1 hit in several markets when featured in the 2016 reveal trailer for The Last of Us Part II, so we were super excited with the idea of recreating this with a phenomenal Aussie talent like Tash Sultana that truly creates a special Australian moment to mark the launch of one of our biggest titles for PS4."

After the game's release last month, players discovered that they could cover real songs using Ellie's guitar in-game.
