The Last of Us Season 1 Steelbook Now Available

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 triumph. And with season two premiering this April on Max, now's the perfect time to revisit this masterpiece. A stunning limited-edition steelbook release, available for pre-order now and launching March 18th, makes catching up easier than ever. Read on to discover what awaits you.

This limited-edition collectible steelbook is a must-have for fans. Priced at $45.44 (a 9% saving from the original $49.99), it's 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, enhancing the narrative with additional world-building elements. Showrunners Craig Mazin and Neil Druckmann (a key figure in the game's creation) penned the scripts, ensuring authenticity and depth.

Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey deliver captivating performances as Joel and Ellie, respectively, alongside Troy Baker and Ashley Johnson (the game's original Joel and Ellie) in supporting roles. The series faithfully recreates the core narrative: Joel's cross-country journey with Ellie through a post-apocalyptic America ravaged by a fungal pandemic, a journey crucial 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 in-depth analysis, check out our *The Last of Us* season one review.
