HBO's The Last of Us Season 2 is set to release on April 13, 2025. Season 1 was critically acclaimed and, for the most part, positively received by fans of the game. That said, one could argue that HBO has the original game's incredible story to thank for that. The Last of Us: Part 1 was released in 2013, and most fans of narrative action-adventure games regard it as one of, if not the best, story-based games of all time. Fans were instantly attached to Joel and Ellie and their journey across America to find a cure for the Cordyceps virus.
