The Last of Us<\/em> is a genre-defining experience that blends survival and action elements to tell a character driven story about a population decimated by a modern plague. Abandoned cities are being reclaimed by nature and the remaining survivors are killing each other for food, weapons and whatever they can get their hands on.

<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are excited to finally unveil The Last of Us<\/em>, a project the team has been working hard on for some time,\u201d said Evan Wells, co president of Naughty Dog Inc. \u201cNaughty Dog\u2019s mission is to change the way people experience videogames. We are confident The Last of Us<\/em> will take a leap forward in cinematic gaming and storytelling, providing gamers with an experience unlike anything else in the industry.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The Last of Us<\/em> is developed by some of the industry\u2019s most talented game designers including Bruce Straley, game director and Neil Druckmann, creative director.<\/p>\n

Naughty Dog Inc. advanced to the forefront of the videogame industry in 1996 with the successful introduction of Crash Bandicoot<\/em> on the original PlayStation. The developer extended the franchise with Crash Bandicoot 2: Cortex Strikes Back<\/em>, Crash Bandicoot 3: Warped<\/em> and Crash Team Racing<\/em>, selling 22 million copies worldwide leading to Naughty Dog Inc. becoming the most successful video game developer in the United States for that console generation.<\/p>\n

The team then created the Jak and Daxter<\/em> franchise including Jak & Daxter: The Precursor Legacy<\/em>\u00ae, Jak II\u2122<\/em>, Jak 3\u2122 <\/em>and Jak X: Combat Racing\u2122<\/em>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In 2007 Naughty Dog Inc. released Uncharted: Drake\u2019s Fortune<\/em>\u00ae, this was followed by Uncharted 2: Among<\/em> Thieves\u2122<\/em> and most recently Uncharted 3: Drake\u2019s Deception\u2122<\/em>. Having currently sold over 13 million units worldwide, the Uncharted <\/em>franchise represents some of the most impressive graphics, sound and processing capabilities found on PS3.<\/p>\n
