New screenshots for The Last of Us, Naughty Dog Takes on Survival Adventure

Boy, I wasn’t expecting a new Naughty Dog IP at the 2011 Spike VGAs but they proved me wrong. The Last of Us is a PS3 exclusive being developed by a 2ND team at the studio and has Neil Druckmann (Creative Director), Bruce Straley (Game Director), and Enslaved Game Director, Mark Richard Davies on board Game Designer.

Here’s the game’s description: The Last of Us is a genre-defining experience that blends survival and action elements to tell a character driven story about a population decimated by a modern plague. Abandoned cities are being reclaimed by nature and the remaining survivors are killing each other for food, weapons and whatever they can get their hands on. Joel, a ruthless survivor, and Ellie, a brave teenage girl who is wise beyond her years, must work together to survive their journey across what remains of the United States.
