The first episode of the series was aired yesterday, but fans can expect the show to stay true to the game’s story while also exploring new characters and events. “The Last of Us” is just one of the latest video games to be adapted for television and film, and with the support of the original creators, the series promises to be a hit among both the fans of the game and new audiences alike.
