The game is renowned for its emotional storytelling, unforgettable characters, and suspenseful action-adventure gameplay.
The franchise expanded with an HBO television adaptation, which premiered its first season in 2023.

Season 2 of “The Last of Us” is scheduled to premiere on April 13, 2025, on HBO and Max. This season picks up five years after the first, with Joel and Ellie settled in the Jackson, Wyoming commune. The peace is soon disrupted by the introduction of Abby, a soldier with a vendetta. The season will explore deeper character development and new plotlines, deviating from the game in certain aspects while retaining the essence of the original storyline.
