Speaking to Entertainment Weekly on the upcoming series, as well as the recently released The Last of Us Part I remake for PlayStation 5, Naughty Dog’s Matthew Gallant — who served as a designer on the original The Last of Us and game director on the remake — said that watching the brief footage for the HBO series gave him goosebumps.
Excitement around the upcoming HBO series The Last of Us continues to build, and it’s not just fans that are excited for the series, but the game’s developers, too.
“It gave me goosebumps to watch the [HBO] trailer, as little footage as that was,” Gallant said.
The live-action series is executive produced and co-written by Chernobyl creator Craig Mazin and original game writer Neil Druckmann, who is also serving as one of the directors.
