The Last of Us, one of the best video games ever, gets a sequel
The makers of Uncharted and Crash Bandicoot have announced a sequel to their post-apocalyptic hit The Last of Us
The people behind the Indiana Jones-style blockbuster third-person action Uncharted series are veterans of video game creation. The studio, Naughty Dog, goes all the way back to the first PlayStation console, having created the beloved Crash Bandicoot series.
Beyond those two (massive) game franchises, Naughty Dog is also responsible for the incredible, genre-pushing PlayStation game The Last of Us.
The Last of Us is widely regarded as one of the best video games of the past decade, if not one of the best games ever made. It shows what can be done with the medium, blending interactivity with moral choices and artful storytelling.
The game was already remastered, moving from PlayStation 3 to the PlayStation 4. If you haven’t already played it, do yourself a favour and play it. And maybe make a plan to do that sooner than later, because Sony has just announced The Last of Us: Part II for the PlayStation 4.
The trailer debuted during Sony’s annual “PlayStation Experience” fan event, held this year at Anaheim Convention Centre.
