The Last of Us is now considered to be one of the most critically acclaimed video games of all time, with critics praising its in-depth narrative and characterization, elements that should jump easily from the pixels of a video game into a live action serial adaptation.
Neil Druckmann has revealed some details regarding the upcoming HBO adaptation of critically acclaimed video game, The Last of Us, including the detail that the first season of the series will “deviate greatly” from the source material.
While the adaptation will move away from the games at some points, Druckmann has assured fans that The Last of Us will still adhere to what’s important about the story and characters.
But, with Druckmann and Mazin on board, as well as Pedro Pascal, Bella Ramsey as Joel and Ellie, The Last of Us certainly has the potential to live up to live up to the game’s legacy.
