The Last of Us has been a pillar IP for the PlayStation brand over the last decade or so, and has cemented series developer Naughty Dog as one of the marquee studios under Sony's umbrella. It's somewhat surprising, then, that there are technically only two games in the entire franchise. The original The Last of Us debuted on the PlayStation 3 in 2013, right at the end of the system's life cycle. It was then followed up by a sequel in 2020 called The Last of Us Part 2, a 2023 live action HBO TV show adaptation with the same name, and a 2022 PS5 remake dubbed The Last of Us Part 1.
