The Last of Us Season 1 Steelbook Arrives

HBO's *The Last of Us* season one is widely considered the gold standard of video game adaptations. Faithfully following the 2013 Naughty Dog game (with a few enriching additions), it's a masterpiece. With season two premiering this April on Max, now's the perfect time to revisit the critically acclaimed first season with this stunning limited-edition steelbook release. Available for pre-order now, it arrives March 18th. Read on to discover what awaits you.

This limited-edition collectible steelbook is priced at $45.44 (a 9% saving from the original $49.99) and is available at Amazon, Target, and Walmart.

For the uninitiated, the first season masterfully encapsulates the events of the original game and its *Left Behind* expansion, while also weaving in additional storylines that enrich the world. Showrunners Craig Mazin and Neil Druckmann (a key figure in the games' development) penned the scripts, ensuring a faithful and compelling adaptation.

Pedro Pascal portrays Joel Miller, and Bella Ramsey shines as Ellie. Adding a delightful layer of authenticity, Troy Baker and Ashley Johnson (the game's Joel and Ellie) also appear. The series follows the core narrative: Joel's cross-country journey with Ellie through a post-apocalyptic America ravaged by a fungal pandemic, where Ellie holds the key to humanity's survival.

As a huge fan of the game series, I can confidently say the show does the source material justice. For a more detailed breakdown, check out our *The Last of Us* season one review.
