The trilogy follows treasure hunter, Nathan Drake and his companions, as they attempt to uncover some of the world’s most legendary mythical treasures spanning the lost cities of El Dorado, to Shambala, and the Atlantis of the Sands with a blend of third-person cover shooting, parkour-styled climbing, and Indiana Jones-like puzzle solving. In 2015, during the run-up to the following year’s highly anticipated Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End, BluePoint Games released Uncharted: The Nathan Drake collection, containing remastered versions of the first three Uncharted games, Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune, Uncharted 2: Among Thieves, and Uncharted 3: Drake’s Deception for the PlayStation 4, earning a strong 86 Metacritic score. Ultimately, this information has not deterred fans of the series who immediately pre-ordered the $99.99 Firefly Edition to the point of selling out, and The Last of Us Part 1 Remake remains one of PlayStation’s most anticipated upcoming titles this year. However, the The Last of Us Part I Remake has been met with some controversy due to its $69.99 price tag, the decision to remake a game that hasn’t even been out ten years, passing over other worthy PlayStation exclusives in need of refurbishment, and a leak that claimed that there were no gameplay improvements made for the upcoming PS5 version. The popularity of The Last of Us has even led to the development of an HBO Max TV series slated for release in 2023. The combination of captivating storytelling, well-written characters, and a unique, realistic take on post-apocalyptic zombie horror made The Last of Us a household name in the gaming community and catapulted its main characters, Joel and Ellie, into videogame superstardom.



The action-adventure/horror game initially released in 2013 to universal acclaim, garnering over 200 game of the year awards, and selling over 20 million copies between its PS3 and PS4 releases. In just one month from now, on September 2, 2022, Naughty Dog will launch its PS5 remake of the PS3 generation-defining classic, The Last of Us.
