There's a new trailer for The Last of Us season 2, and while it doesn't show all that much, it does at least have some familiar moments and a release month.
]]>A bit of good news for fans of HBO's The Last of Us TV show, season 2 has just got a new trailer and a 2025 release window. No exact day, month, nor season is attached. However, the trailer has given us some more sneak peaks at what'll be going on in the second season, and judging from what we're seeing, it looks like everyone is gonna be super happy about life in the post-apocalypse.
]]>Great news T.V lovers! We've got a brand-new snippet of The Last of Us season 2 via a quick-cut HBO MAX trailer. This trailer, a combination showcase of all the upcoming shows and seasons coming to the video-on-demand service, caps off its presentation with a nice chunk of Joel and Ellie's future adventures.
]]>Much like Amazon and Bethesda's Fallout, HBO and PlayStation Productions' The Last of Us was one of those huge hits that just couldn't be ignored, signaling a turn of the tide when it comes to live-action adaptations of video games. Now, season 2 is shooting, and co-showrunners Craig Mazin and Neil Druckmann are already teasing what lies beyond.
]]>The PlayStation first shipped in 1994 and very quickly made its way into the homes of gamers worldwide. It’s a console that - alongside the PlayStation 2 - many hold near and dear, for good reason. The console was home to a multitude of RPG’s, action games, and highly successful series that were finding their footing at the time, garnering Sony plenty of power that it’s since held on to and grown…for the most part.
]]>With comic book projects self-regulating and becoming just another genre (with some exceptions), monster brawls becoming a thing in the West, and star-studded originals regaining lost ground, the post-pandemic Hollywood landscape, both in theaters and on TV, looks nothing like the pre-2020 tug-of-war. There's always a big thing, however, and now, after Fallout's success, it's all but confirmed that video game adaptations are next in line.
]]>Toys for Bob, known for its work on the likes of Crash Bandicoot and Spyro, has announced that it’s splitting from Activision and going indie, which is good news, though it has left Crash fans a bit in the dark as to the future of their beloved platforming not quite hedgehog thing.
]]>PlayStation has announced plans to lay off 900 people from its global workforce, as part of a reduction of the company's overall headcount by 8%. Several PlayStation-owned studios - including Insomniac Games, Naughty Dog, and Guerilla Games - will be affected, with PlayStation Studios' London Studio set to be closed entirely.
]]>This week The Shiitake Show asks: what's the point of Xbox? That's not us being sarcastic or snide. It's a question that everyone in the industry, not least Microsoft themselves, needs to find an answer to. A conflicted, convoluted vision for the platform has left it struggling for an identity at the dawn of a future it is trying to forge for us all, one where the console itself no longer matters. And yet, Xbox still needs us to buy Xboxes. It's a tricky position to be in, compounded by the perception that Xbox doesn't have any compelling exclusives. Watch below.
]]>We wouldn't blame you if you forgot that an Uncharted movie came out in 2022 and made around $400 million worldwide. We also wouldn't blame you if you forgot Mark Wahlberg was supposed to play Sully in that same movie. Well, he's now confirmed the second installment is almost ready to start shooting.
]]>The Last of Us, when you really think about it, is the last game that should have ever gotten a roguelike mode. Think about it; this is a series that goes to great lengths to bemoan the use of excessive violence, that sternly wags its finger and says ‘tsk, tsk, tsk, can’t we do better than this?’ whilst standing in a pool of blood and looking sad.
]]>If you follow broader industry trends, particularly when it comes to the types of games every publisher is keen to have in their catalogues (before they realise it may not be such a good idea to invest so much in one basket), you’ll definitely be familiar with Sony’s nascent push into live service games.The company’s efforts are still so much in their infancy that we’re only now getting the first of its 12 planned games. Even well before we could play a single one, Sony delayed half of them. Whether or not anyone cares about the games themselves, the desire to diversify PlayStation’s first-party output is easy to understand. Sony is keenly aware that making increasingly expensive single-player games is not going remain sustainable for long - it already barely is.
]]>As the production start looms near, HBO and PlayStation Productions' The Last of Us season 2 has begun locking down new key roles.
]]>Sounds like we can expect to see an Uncharted 2 movie sequel at some point in our future, as an update has been shared by Sully himself.
]]>After becoming one of Max's most-streamed shows of all time and earning 24 nominations at 2023's Emmys, HBO and PlayStation Productions' The Last of Us series won't be back until 2025.
]]>Naughty Dog has released a trailer showing off the No Return Mode included with The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered.
]]>I never thought I’d be writing this, but the idea of building a new PC is nowhere near as exciting to me as it used to be. Putting together the right build, taking the budget as far as it could, hunting for deals, buying from different retailers just to save a bit of money (and the act of opening so many Chrome tabs that precedes all that) have always brought me so much joy.
]]>One of the big new additions promised in The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered are three ‘Lost Levels’ cut from the original game, and we now know the names of this mysterious trio.
]]>The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered is coming in January and a developer’s LinkedIn profile may have shed a little more light on what No Return, the game’s new roguelike mode, will involve.
]]>We now know that a PS5 version of The Last of Us Part 2 is coming in January and, if you already own the game on PS4, PlayStation has just confirmed that you’ll be able to pull all of your saves over.
]]>The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered has been announced for PlayStation 5, and it's releasing in January.
]]>A PS5 version of The Last of Us Part 2 has seemingly been added to the PlayStation database, potentially hinting that the long-rumoured variant of the game could be in line for release soon.
]]>In another hit to the industry, it looks like the PlayStation support studio Visual Arts has also been affected by layoffs.
]]>Xbox boss Phil Spencer has said that players shouldn’t expect to see a flood of Activision Blizzard games arrive on Game Pass before this year is out.
]]>The Last of Us Part 2 might be getting a dedicated PS5 version, as seemingly confirmed by a developer from Naughty Dog itself.
]]>In the latest round of upsetting news for the games industry, Naughty Dog is the next studio to make cuts, this time for at least 25 contractors.
]]>It has been claimed that Marvel actors Tom Holland and Chris Pratt will portray Jak and Daxter respectively in a film adaptation.
]]>The quality of Baldur's Gate 3 performances, and the technology and expertees used to render them so beautifully on screen, is one of the best things about it. And that’s high praise considering that there’s one hell of a lot to love about the best RPG of the decade so far. We make the case for this extraordinary work, and why it’s so crucial to recreating the D&D experience, in the video below.
]]>As a medium, video games are often a vast fabric of inspiration-taking, borrowed ideas, and of course shameless rip offs. Some of the biggest and best games in decades have been the result of a lot of hard work coupled with the healthy practice of nabbing what's popular during development. A tad dishonest? Maybe - but it's how some of the biggest game developers in the business got to where they are today. This week we're asking: What's the best game that's a shameless rip-off of another game?
]]>It seems like a new version of The Last of Us Part 2 could be on the way, according to an interview with the game's composer.
]]>Naughty Dog co-president Evan Wells will retire from the studio at the end of the year, it was announced.
]]>Nominees for the 75th annual Emmy Awards have been announced, and HBO's The Last of Us is one of the pack leaders with the most nominations, second only to HBO's satirical comedy-drama Succession.
]]>The best story-based games are ageless. While gameplay can become clunky with the passing of time, an enthralling narrative is just as gripping whether it came out in 2004 or 2024.
]]>Naughty Dog recently shared that its multiplayer The Last of Us game needed "more time," but a new report claims this happened at the suggestion of Bungie.
]]>This year's World Video Game Hall of Fame additions include none other than Wii Sports, as it deserves (and yeah, The Last of Us too, I guess).
]]>If it wasn't obvious already, HBO's The Last of Us has been incredibly successful, so much so that it's actually Max's second most watched show.
]]>PlayStation is supposedly due to receive 10 live service games by 2026, but PlayStation Studios boss Hermen Hulst promises they'll cover a range of genres.
]]>A new patch for The Last of Us Part 1 is now available for PC.
]]>Winning this podcast is easy: you just have to convince me, Jim Trinca, that your submission for the topic du jour is better than anyone else's. The tricky part is that I'm fickle and unknowable, and also, Donaldson knows everything, so he's usually uncovered an angle that you haven't thought of. The fact that it's almost always about 50 Cent: Blood on the Sand is immaterial.
]]>The latest update for The Last of Us Part 1 on PC arrived over the long weekend, and with it everyone should stop randomly getting drenched.
]]>The Last of Us hype train seems to have never stopped. For a solid decade and counting, the message is that this fungal post-apocalyptic road trip is the game to end all games. A triumph of interactive entertainment as a narrative medium. As the people behind the HBO adaptation proudly stated, “the greatest story ever told in video games”.
]]>Naughty Dog has announced over the weekend upcoming patches that should address the technical issues with The Last of Us Part 1's PC port. With that being said, Steam Deck users are going to have to wait a little longer to get a version of the game that works well on their hardware.
]]>If you haven't played The Last of Us Part 1 on PC in the past couple of days or are just picking it up, you need to update your game as hotfixes have rolled out over the last three days.
]]>The Last of Us Part 1 has finally come out of PC! Unfortunately, the quality of this long-awaited PC port leaves much to be desired with many complaining about crashes, freezing, and bad optimization.
]]>First spotted by the folk over at GamesRadar, Naughty Dog has stated that it is not done with developing games for PC.
]]>The first season of HBO's The Last of Us wrapped up just last week, but you shouldn't expect the second second season until at least 2024.
]]>The Last of Us’ upcoming multiplayer spin-off is a game we’ll “hear much more about” this year, according to TLOU director, Neil Druckmann.
]]>The first season of HBO's The Last of Us has wrapped up, but it's sounding like the second season won't cover all of the second game.
]]>The Last of Us Part 1 releases on PC later this month on March 28, and to prepare you for it, Sony has released the PC specs.
]]>With a change in actor for Joel in The Last of Us, things were always going to be different, and in a recent interview Troy Baker has shared his thoughts on Pedro Pascal.
]]>Welcome to VG247's Best Games Ever Podcast: Episode 38 - The best game you'd never believe was from that developer.
]]>Naughty Dog has delayed the PC release of The Last of Us Part 1. But not by much.
]]>What did you make of the most recent episode of The Last of Us? Did you think it was great? Did you think it was one of the most powerful, impactful, and touching pieces of TV we've seen in recent years? Because I did. In fact, I wrote a good 1000 words on why it's so effective as a bit of good, prestige TV the other day (even taking into account that, yes, it does deviate from the games).
]]>I know that the ‘curse of video game adaptations’ has long been broken, but I did not expect The Last of Us to potentially provide us with one of the best episodes of TV in 2023. Yes, that’s a dramatic statement to make this early on in the year, but a character study of this flavour – bold, subtle, heart-warming and heart-rending, all in equal measure – doesn’t come along all that often.
]]>The third episode of HBO's The Last of Us brought Bill and Frank to the forefront, but it made some significant changes along the way.
]]>Sony has launched a new ad campaign to advertise the fact you shouldn't have trouble buying a PS5 now, and the live-action trailer for it looks to be teasing something it hasn't revealed.
]]>If you aren't able to watch the first episode of The Last of Us through Sky's services, but want to check the show out, you can now watch the first episode for free.
]]>A second season for The Last of Us has been confirmed - as if there were any doubt.
]]>Looks like Naughty Dog might be finished with the Uncharted series.
]]>The Last of Us TV show has had a hand in the Naughty Dog-developed game re-entering the game charts in the UK.
]]>If you’ve played even the first few hours of The Last of Us – you know, like you can do totally for free on PlayStation right now – then you’ll know one thing about Joel. He’s a squatter. The gruff murder dad must have thighs like wrought iron. Whether he’s trying to avoid the sharp hearing of a Clicker by crouching and moving softly through a ruined library, or he’s hunkered down to get out of sight of some p**sed-off FEDRA recruits, the man likes to squat.
]]>The Last of Us on HBO is one of the biggest debut series on the platform, narrowly missing out on the number one spot thanks to House of the Dragon.
]]>If you wanted to see whether The Last of Us Part 1 was a worthwhile remake, and you're a PS Plus Premium member, you can try its two hour trial right now.
]]>There is a massive selection of brilliant games available on PlayStation Plus, for both those with the trusty PlayStation 4 or a brand new PlayStation 5.
]]>You might recall an interview from just a few weeks ago between The New Yorker and Naughty Dog’s co-president Neil Druckmann. During the discussion, Druckmann commented that the next Naughty Dog game will be “structured more like a TV show.”
]]>In a recent interview, Naughty Dog co-president and The Last of Us Director Neil Druckmann explained why the studio hasn't revealed its next game yet.
]]>While the original The Last of Us only briefly touched on life before the fungal outbreak, HBO's live-action take will give us more of a look at the before-times.
]]>Naughty Dog doesn't seem to be finished with The Last of Us franchise, if a quote from Neil Druckmann is anything to go by.
]]>In a recent article with The New Yorker, Naughty Dog’s co-president, Neil Druckmann, and The Last of Us’ HBO series showrunner, Craig Mazin, discuss the evolution of video games. Particularly, they talk about how The Last of Us came to be adapted into a TV show, and what’s next for Naughty Dog.
]]>The Last of Us Part 1 launched earlier this year on PS5, and at The Game Awards Naughty Dog confirmed it would be coming to PC March 3, 2023.
]]>HBO's adaptation of The Last of Us has received its first proper trailer, giving us a good, long look at the show, alongside a sneaky cameo.
]]>HBO has pretty much confirmed we can expect The Last of Us to premiere on the cable network January 15.
]]>A new PlayStation studio has been formed by Sony and currently, it’s working with Naughty Dog.
]]>Celebrating The Last of Us Day, which coincides with the in-universe date that the Cordyceps infection took its toll, HBO and Naughty Dog have revealed a brand-new trailer for the upcoming The Last of Us series.
]]>It looks like Uncharted: Legacy of Thieves Collection may be released for PC on October 19.
]]>The Last of Us Part 1 is out and firmly in the hands of players across the world. A great overhaul of an already brilliant game (as per our review), many are jumping in and scouring the world in Joel’s shoes once again. However, a secret recently found in this new version of the Naughty Dog 3rd person classic has some curious about the next big IP from the studio.
]]>With the release of The Last of Us Part 1 on PC and PS5, now players on all platforms can crack locks with ease, thanks to these handy safe combinations.
]]>You wouldn’t know it if you don’t read “Terrible Take Twitter” or the “Irate Internet,” but there’s been a lot of negativity around the remake of The Last of Us for PS5, subtly renamed to The Last of Us: Part 1. The gist of this anger is due to the original game on PS3 releasing a little over nine years ago. So, how dare Naughty Dog remake a game that new, right?
]]>Naughty Dog has outlined accessibility options included in The Last of Us Part 1.
]]>The first official peek at the Last of Us TV adaptation is out in the wild courtesy of a new HBO montage trailer going through their lineup of ongoing or soon-to-drop series. Right at the end of the video, we see a few scenes of major characters as well as confirmation that it’ll be coming out next year. Exciting stuff!
]]>It's been a short while since we've heard anything new about HBO's TV take on Naughty Dog's The Last of Us. Now, in an exclusive report with IGN, the cast for the show has been revealed, and a little more about the narrative has been shared.
]]>Everyone’s definition of value is different. For video games, this means debates constantly encircle the topics of price opposed to content and the need versus greed of rereleasing older games on newer hardware.
]]>The Last of Us Part 1 is the smartly-titled remake of the original The Last of Us. As a remake of a game that already got a remaster, and isn't old enough to deserve one to start with, many argue it's unnecessary.
]]>According to one developer who's worked on the PS5 remake of The Last of Us, it's not "just a cash grab."
]]>You probably know Naughty Dog for either the Uncharted or The Last of Us games – and for good reason. It’s pretty much all the esteemed studio has been working on over the past 15 years. Since 2007, the company’s focus has been on popcorn action-adventure games, and soulful stories about faux parental relationships in a ruined post-apocalyptic wasteland.
]]>While it wasn't properly shown off at Summer Games Fest, The Last of Us Part 2's online multiplayer will be a stand-alone title.

]]>Epic Games appears to have accidentally revealed the PC release date of the Uncharted: Legacy of Thieves Collection.
]]>Reviews for Uncharted: Legacy of Thieves Collection have landed, and we have rounded up the scores for you.
]]>Naughty Dog really knows how to make an action adventure game. Uncharted 4 and The Lost Legacy are two of the best the genre has ever seen, and both dazzled on PS4 in 2016 and 2017 respectively. Smart, funny writing combines with superb production values and thrilling gameplay to deliver blockbuster gaming at its best. But these are PS4 games. They are super impressive PS4 games that hold up brilliantly today, but they are PS4 games, and this PS5 double port does little to improve them – at least at a glance. These are bare bones ports that scrape by on Naughty Dog's expert use of the previous generation's hardware.
]]>Sony has announced a January 28 release date for Uncharted: Legacy of Thieves Collection on PS5. It has also re-confirmed a 2022 release on PC.
]]>The Uncharted: Legacy of Thieves Collection finally has an official Steam page, a few months after we initially heard that the compilation would be arriving on PC and PS5 in early 2022.
]]>If you're really into The Last of Us Part 2, and you live in Europe, why not check out an absurdly expensive bit of merch tied into the esteeemed PlayStation exclsuive?
]]>In celebration of The Last of Us Day, Naughty Dog offered an update on the game's mysterious multiplayer mode, even if it's one that doesn't sadly come with any new information.
]]>September 26 is The Last of Us Day. Ahead of this year's event, Naughty Dog told fans to expect some new content in celebration, but didn't say what it could be. Since we're now in the future, we know exactly what that is.
]]>The Last of Us, and Uncharted developer Naughty Dog is on a hiring spree. The studio is officially looking for people to join its multiplayer team, which is working on Naughty Dog's first standalone multiplayer project.
]]>Multiplayer assets seemingly buried in The Last of Us Part 2 suggest that Naughty Dog may be planning to release a battle royale game set inside the iconic game universe.
]]>The new studio will focus on “AAA independent” game development.
]]>The Last of Us 2, the sequel to the critically acclaimed action-adventure stealth game, is now only $20 at select stores. Sony fans can now enjoy the latest installment of this apocalyptic series for half the price.
]]>Merle Dandridge, who portrayed Marlene in The Last of Us games, will reprise the role in the live-action HBO series.
