The first full trailer for The Last Of Us TV show is finally here to get us ready for more of The Last Of Us in 2023
After a whole lot of waiting and anticipation, we have our first real look at the upcoming series for The Last Of Us. This is the one that has been in development for HBO Max with Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey playing our main two protagonists in the story. Just in case you have missed out on all of that and what Naughty Dog has been able to share about the project before now. Thankfully, we do not have to just go on what the game developer has to share and we can now see some of what The Last Of Us is going to offer up as the other team takes this project and turns it into a reality. The diehard fans are already gearing up their pitchforks for all of this I can feel as of now, even if it looks like it is going to be an amazing retelling of it all.
Right from the start here, though, it looks like they are capturing the look and feel for the world of The Last Of Us even if the characters are not as accurate as some of demand they are. That all aside, it looks like there is going to be the same level of dread, horror, and storytelling (Visual and Verbal) that we have come to expect from the IP too. There might be a few deviations to tell a better story in the medium that they are working in, but as long as The Last Of Us keeps the core to it all, I will be along for the full ride. Given that even the first Clicker noises in this trailer took me right back to my first experience, I have a solid feeling that we are going to be in for an amazing ride with all of this. If only we did not have to wait until 2023 to get to experience this version. I guess it is back to the video game as we all wait for it now.
