The Last of Us is an action-adventure survival horror video game developed by Naughty Dog and
published by Sony Computer Entertainment for the PlayStation 3. It was
officially revealed on December
10, 2011 at the Spike TV Video Game Awards and released
worldwide on June 14, 2013. It was released
in Japan on June 20, 2013. An updated
version for the PlayStation 4, The Last of Us Remastered, will be
released in the third or fourth quarter
of 2014.
The player controls Joel (voiced and motion captured by Troy Baker) escorting the
young Ellie
(Ashley Johnson) across a post-apocalyptic United States
that has been ravaged by infection. The player
uses firearms, improvised weapons and
stealth techniques to defend against hostile bandits and zombie-like
creatures infected by a mutated strain
of the Cordyceps fungus.
The Last of Us received
worldwide critical acclaim for its writing, voice acting, sound design, level
design,
and art direction. Its narrative was
praised for its characterization, subtext, and critical
depiction of the
human condition, dealing with
themes of sacrifice, loyalty, fate, and hope. Considered one of the most
significant titles of the seventh
generation video game era, The Last of Us received Game of the Year
awards
from numerous publications. It was also
a commercial success, and became the second-largest video game
launch of 2013 (after Grand Theft Auto V), selling over
1.3 million units in its first week. As of March 2014,
the game had sold over 6 million units
worldwide.
