During the GQ magazine interview, Druckmann also talked about the studio’s project with HBO. “The Last Of Us” series is currently in the development for the American pay TV network. The executive shared that he is involved with the characters for the medium and the writer for the upcoming show.

Working on the project enables them to focus on the characters and highlight their uniqueness and differences, he told GQ. Meanwhile, “The Last of Us Part 2” is scheduled to arrive on June 19, 2020. Sony recently rolled out a short but sweet, less than a minute-long trailer of the upcoming game.

The launch trailer is brief and does not show anything that the gaming industry has not yet seen. But, it is enough to sustain the hype until “The Last Of US Part 2” arrives a few days from now. Check out the trailer below.
