HBO Max just dropped a new poster for the upcoming series The Last of Us and it teases the post-apocalyptic world that Joel and Ellie will traverse, with the chilling words, “When you’re lost in the darkness, look for the light.” The poster for The Last of Us is strikingly similar to the poster of the game from where the series is based on when it launched in 2013 for PlayStation 3. The quote is also directly pulled out from the game of the same name. Naughty Dog first released the action-adventure game, The Last of Us, in 2013 which was published by Sony Computer Entertainment. It is a third-person perspective game where players go through a post-apocalyptic United States and they can use firearms and improvised weapons to defend themselves from the infected.
