In Boston, smuggler and hardened, cynical survivor Joel is contacted by the anti-government militia the Fireflies with a seemingly simple job: escort a teenage girl, Ellie, out of the Boston Quarantine Zone and deliver her to their allies. Infected humans are turned into ravenous, mindless monsters, and much of the United States outside of the totalitarian Quarantine Zones is a lawless expanse. The game is set in 2033, 20 years after a global pandemic caused by a mutated variant of the Cordyceps fungus has decimated society. Set in a post-apocalyptic future with a lush, overgrown environment, the characters must often use alternate routes to navigate the environment, evading or fighting the mutated infected and hostile survivors. Though the two series are distinct in terms of tone and overall gameplay, The Last of Us features similar character movement through the environment and some weapons seem partially lifted from the Uncharted series. The Last of Us is an action-adventure survival horror game developed by Naughty Dog, creators of the Uncharted series.
