From a $70 The Last of Us Remake to an HBO Show, Naughty Dog Takes Summer Game Fest 2022 by Storm

The Summer Game Fest turned out to be one of the best gaming festivals this season, revealing many upcoming gaming projects. The event also revealed the future of Naughty Dog’s ‘The Last of Us.’

The action-adventure game series became an absolute favorite soon after its release. The Naughty Dog co-director, Neil Druckmann, revealed about selling 10 million copies globally of The Last of Us Part II. Seeing the fans’ support, Druckmann revealed the plans for The Last of Us in the future.

A Standalone Multiplayer mode is on its way

The American game developers initially planned a multi-player mode for the second installment of The Last of Us. However, the plans grew bigger with time and shaped into a standalone multiplayer.

The upcoming Last of Us multiplayer game is going to be standalone with no direct connections to the main series. Further, this multiplayer game will feature an original storyline along with new characters. Also, it will feature a new location in America.

Naughty Dog just revealed an artwork of the new game. But Druckmann shared that more details about the standalone multiplayer will release in 2023. So, the Last of Fans have to wait a little longer to know more about it.

An HBO series adaptation

The Last of Us series became a massive hit not only because of the amazing gameplay but also thanks to the compelling storyline. It seems soon the non-gamers would also get to enjoy this amazing storyline.

The Last of Us is getting a TV adaptation by HBO. The series adaptation will feature the same story as the game and Druckmann himself directed one of the episodes. The Naughty Dog co-director is pretty confident about the series.

The HBO adaptation will feature Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey in the main roles of Joel Miller and Ellie. However, the series adaptation didn’t forget the real Joel and Ellie, as the show will also have the original game cast, Ashley Johnson and Troy Baker.

Both Ashley and Baker revealed the cast and crew working on the series are fans of the game. So, they all are committed to this project. Ashley even said, “Bella and Pedro are so perfect.” Let’s hope the HBO adaptations turn out to be great, as many movie and series adaptations of video games failed in the past.
