What is The Last of Us?

The Last of Us is a 2013 action-adventure game developed by Naughty Dog for the PlayStation 3 and later remastered for the PlayStation 4. The game follows protagonist Joel as he escorts the teenaged Ellie across a desolate post-apocalyptic world. Gamers use various guns and improvised weapons together with stealth to fight off not just human enemies but also the rest of the human race infected by the mutated Cordyceps fungi, which has turned them hostile and cannibalistic.

The game was directed by Bruce Straley and Neil Druckmann, and a remake was released for the PlayStation 5, aiming to overhaul the game’s aging engine while staying true to the original.

A TV series was also announced for HBO Max, starring Pedro Pascal as Joel and Bella Ramsey as Ellie, and it premieres on the streaming platform on January 15, 2023.
