In January 2023, The Last of Us aired on HBO and abruptly changed the world of video game adaptations. It accurately portrayed the game’s post-apocalyptic setting to the point where it sometimes felt like watching a playthrough, but it also expanded the franchise in a way that felt credible and appropriate for television as a medium. We saw the first seeds of the fungal endemic, a masterpiece portrait of two minor characters, and a brand new villain, among other clever additions.
Now, the second game in the series is getting the same treatment, but not in the same way. A first glimpse at The Last of Us Season 2 reveals what the series will add, and what will have to wait until Season 3. Check out the trailer below, released today to celebrate the day the outbreak reached critical mass in the game’s story.
