Fans of The Last of Us have a lot to be excited about in 2023, not only does this year mark the 10th anniversary of the franchise but there’s a TV show and PC port of the game to look forward to. The company also said it will share more details on its multiplayer project for the game, later this year.
In a blog post, Neil Druckmann, Naughty Dog co-president, thanked fans of the game for their passion and support over the last decade. He also said that The Last of Us franchise sold more than 37 million copies globally as of December 2022.
“Even as it turns 10 years old, it feels like The Last of Us has only just begun, and this busy year will certainly show why. After The Last of Us Part I’s successful launch on PlayStation 5 last year, we can’t wait to bring you the PC version on March 3! We’ll have more information on the PC version’s features and specs ahead of its launch,” says Druckmann.
Fans will also be able to enjoy the TV adaptation of The Last of Us, which premiers on the 15th of January in the US. South African fans will be able to watch the show at the same time thanks to DSTV’s simulcast that will air on Monday 16 January at 3 am. The show’s regular broadcast slot will be Mondays at 9 pm on M-Net and will also be available on Showmax, a day later, on Tuesdays.
“We’re looking ahead to The Last of Us’ 10th anniversary in June, and we’re so excited to share more with you about the future of this franchise. We’ll have some fun surprises for you along the way, but later this year we will begin to offer you some details on our ambitious The Last of Us multiplayer game. With a team led by Vinit Agarwal, Joe Pettinati, and Anthony Newman, the project is shaping up to be a fresh, new experience from our studio, but one rooted in Naughty Dog’s passion for delivering incredible stories, characters, and gameplay,” says Druckmann.
