The Last of Us license will soon be celebrating its tenth anniversary. A saga that has established itself as a must-have on the PlayStation with its first two games. Still, it saw a resurgence earlier in the year thanks to the airing of the HBO series, which was a huge hit.

One thing is for sure, fans will have to be patient before discovering the rest of Joel and Ellie’s adventures on the small screen.
