The latest round of footage, which accompanied The Last of Us season 2's release month announcement last night (January 6) at CES 2025, is jam-packed with quick-fire clips that suggest it'll be as true to its identically titled game series as possible.

Considering how The Last of Us season 1 largely mirrored what happens in the first game in Naughty Dog's video game franchise, plus the involvement of The Last of Us creative director Neil Druckmann, that's to be expected. Nevertheless, it's pleasing to see how much of The Last of Us Part II is being adapted for the show's sophomore outing.

Ever since the sizzle reel-style trailer dropped online, fans have gushed over how authentic it looks, too. Threads that popped up on The Last of Us and R/Television sub-Reddits are full of comments from fans new and old discussing the level of detail on show. Where the latter group are concerned, the inclusion of a large, silver hook, the sound of that haunting siren, a snippet of that dance sequence involving Isabela Merced's Dina and Bella Ramsey's Ellie, and quotes pulled directly from The Last of Us Part II are call-backs to hugely significant moments in the action-adventure survival horror game. I won't spoil what these mean for anyone who hasn't played the games, but believe me when I say they're incredibly important moments.
