It’s been nearly six months since we announced The Last of Us, and development has been a beehive of activity. If you have seen any of the coverage, you might have read about Joel and Ellie’s time spent in an abandoned city to which they have driven. We are excited to share a fresh video with you today. This video should answer some of the questions you had after reading the stories about what went down inside those city walls. You’ll get a glimpse into the lethality of the world Joel and Ellie are surviving in and what being a survivor in that world truly means.
Joel and Ellie won’t have an easy road ahead on their journey across the U.S. Their path will intersect with those of other remaining survivors, some of whom won’t be so friendly. In this scene Joel and Ellie continue the journey west in a salvaged pickup truck. The sombre tune of Hank Williams Sr. echoes the desolation of the world of The Last of Us. As they drive towards the next destination on their route – really just another place to find resources that will help them survive – they run into some hunters. What happens next is something you have to witness to understand. Check it out:
What you watched here is only a peek into how alone and forsaken the world has become. Our world is a brutal, lethal place in The Last of Us. Be ready for things to get much worse.
We can’t wait to share this genre-defining game with you. The hounds have started to bay. Get prepared for the coming months and look out for more information at E3.

Naughty Dog’s one of the few companies where I enjoy watching the cinematics in their games and not just looking for the ‘skip’ button. Their storytelling, character acting and graphical artistry are the best.

Eric this just looks phenomenonal .. you guys are by far and above the best developers in the world and im so glad this is a 3rd person game rather than a first person game … I went to buy a new game last week and honestly what I hadn’t already played just didn’t even interest me in the slightest so I ended up walking out with my money in my pocket there is way to many shooters out on the ps3 gaming is getting old fast for me and I just cannot wait until this is released.

This looks incredible. Going by the footage we’ve seen i’d be happy if this was just a 2 hour movie, but a whole game from Naughty Dog?! It’ll be a masterpiece, i’m sure of that.
Anyway just wanted to say great work Naughty Dog, it’s companies like yours that give me faith in the future of video games.

Ellie really reminds me of Ellen Page. Even her voice reminds me of her.

I have been starving and I fear only The Last of Us will be able to satiate my hunger. Bring it on, Naughty Dog, I can’t wait!
