The Last of Us HBO series teaser sets the tone

HBO has released the first teaser trailer for The Last of Us, and it’s looking really good.
As a teaser, there’s not much in the way of explaining the story here or who any of the characters are. If you’ve played the games, you’ll be able to pick things out, of course, but HBO is very smartly marketing this upcoming series as a big new franchise — which it very well could be.
Check out the teaser trailer below.
We get to spot Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey as both Joel and Ellie. Still, there’s also Nick Offerman’s Bill, Merle Dandridge as Marlene, Anna Torv as Tess and Melanie Lynskey as Kathleen, a new character being introduced for the series, not from the games. Players of the Left Behind DLC from the first game will also recognise Storm Redi as Riley.
If you want to go a bit deeper, I did an almost second-by-second breakdown on this week’s episode of Platinum Explosion: A PlayStation Podcast.
We still don’t have a solid release date for The Last of Us, but it’s coming in 2023.
In the comment section below, let me know your thoughts on the teaser trailer.
