Nobody has any doubts that the name of the moment in terms of the video game scene has to do with a product that is not a video game, although it is inspired by a very successful one that came out for PS3 almost a decade ago. Indeed, the HBO series of The Last of Us is not only sweeping but is causing a resurgence of its old hits that, in the case of one of its upcoming adaptations, has decided to get out of that world of happiness in which the saga.
A belated announcement incorporated
The fact is that practically at the same time that the series was released on the streaming platform, Sony wanted us all to know that the first game in the franchise was going to make the leap to computers, a decade after its arrival on PlayStation and as a way to continue this policy of opening its exclusives in the direction of Windows.
March 3 was the date that Sony announced that it would allow us to play The Last of Us on our PCs, surely taking advantage of the fact that HBO’s fiction would be nearing its end and many players would want to live for themselves. Joel and Ellie’s exploits in that world ravaged by the fungus that turns humans into a kind of bloodthirsty zombie.
And to announce it, he did not hesitate to publish a small statement on how things are going with the adaptation of The Last of Us Part I for PC. It is this:
Naughty Dog@Naughty_DogThe Last of Us Part I PC will now be released on March 28. An update from our team: https://t.co/lvApDT71XjFebruary 3, 2023 • 17:0014.6K636
As always, the tweaks
As you can read in the Naughty Dog communication, the reasons for The Last of Us Part I to be delayed for almost a month must be found in the need to have that extra time to conclude the game as it should. From what we can understand that to this day they are still doing some tweaks on the remastered version of PlayStation 5, which is the one they have taken as the basis for the conversion work to PC.
In this way, this announcement does nothing but throw a small jug of (very) cold water on fans of the franchise, who these days are levitating with happiness when they see what HBO has been able to do with one of their favorite games. A series starring Pedro Pascal that is sweeping audience figures and subscribers who see each episode every week and that will conclude next Monday, March 19 with the broadcast of the ninth installment.
So taking a look at the series release schedule, do you really think Naughty Dog needs to tweak the game for 25 more days or have they just adjusted the dates so that the series ends at its own pace and then a week later? next, will the hornet’s nest stir with the release of the adaptation for PC? If we had to bet a cent of a euro, we would have no doubts in risking everything that the North Americans have simply reorganized the calendar to extend the phenomenon of The Last of Us . And that is, really, the real reason. Don’t you think?
