‘The Last Of Us’ Is Finally Coming To HBO In 2023

One of my preferred computer game of the last couple of years or two — and, rather actually, most traumatizing — is lastly pertaining to tv.

After years of being stuck in advancement hell, HBO green-lit an official adjustment of Naughty Dog’s extremely effective Playstation video game The Last Of Us in November 2020. After investing the previous couple of summer seasons establishing it, the program is now set to get here on HBO/HBO Max at some point in 2023.

The series will follow Joel (Pedro Pascal), a smuggler entrusted with accompanying a teenage lady, Ellie (Bella Ramsey), throughout a post-apocalyptic United States, following a break out of a mutant fungi that changes its human hosts into aggressive animals referred to as the Infected. Sounds like basic “zombie armageddon” warfare, however where The Last Of Us (and its 2020 follow up, The Last Of Us Part II) shined remained in its story, character advancement, and its psychological depth.

TBH, this was among the saddest — and sometimes the most psychologically tough — video games I’ve ever played, and I anticipate the program to stimulate those exact same sensations. Remember when (and how) Glenn passed away in The Walking Dead? Things like that took place in the video games quite frequently (Part II begins rough, though I’m sure that, evaluating from the trailer, this series won’t get from another location near to that point in the very first season), and each video game took about 40 hours to finish.

Either method, my body is all set.
