The Last of Us is coming to Universal’s Halloween Horror Nights

Naughty Dog and Universal announced that The Last of Us is coming to Halloween Horror Nights in 2023, complete with Joel, Ellie, and plenty of Infected. Universal is creating an immersive haunted house-style experience set in Naughty Dog’s survival horror world, and it’ll open on Sep. 1, 2023, at Universal Orlando.

The Universal Hollywood campus is getting its own version on Sep. 7, 2023. Single-night tickets cost $79.99 apiece.

“As a massive fan — and frequent attendee — of Halloween Horror Nights, we are honored to have The Last of Us included in this year’s lineup,” Naughty Dog co-president Neil Druckmann said in a statement. “It has been an incredible thrill for us at Naughty Dog to collaborate with Universal, bringing the world of the game to life, focusing on even the tiniest details that our fans know so well.”

The Halloween Horror Nights experience adapts the Pittsburgh segment of The Last of Us and takes visitors through a series of claustrophobic tunnels crawling with clickers, runners, and stalkers, and into familiar locations from the game, including the Grand Hotel.

The press statement calls it an immersive experience. It didn’t mention what you’ll actually be doing, though hitting looters with baseball bats and getting eaten by zombies like in the game probably isn’t on the agenda. Whatever it is, you’ll be doing it alongside Joel and Ellie, though in what capacity, again, Naughty Dog didn’t say.

If you’re hoping for more The Last of Us soon, you’ll be a little disappointed. Naughty Dog delayed the upcoming Last of Us multiplayer game indefinitely.
