Chapter 1×07 ‘The Last of Us’ includes a very special detail for fans of the video game

On HBO Max they are celebrating, or so it should be after the success of their great bet of the season. To celebrate, Chapter 1×07 ‘The Last of Us’ includes a very special detail for fans of the Naughty Dog video game.

For the most clueless, let’s remember that ‘The Last of Us’, whose adaptation had been trying to reach the screen for years, was a video game written by Neil Druckmann and developed by Naughty Dog that was launched on the market in June 2013 for PlayStation 3. The great gameplay mechanics were immersed in a meticulously narrated story about two characters, Joel and Ellie, who evolved as we progressed through the story, forcing the player to feel fully involved in its plot..

The success was overwhelming, so much so that it didn’t take us long to play a DLC in the form of a brilliant prequel, ‘The Last of Us: Left Behind’, in which we discovered that Ellie, the protagonist of the story, had had a beautiful relationship with another survivor, something that this 1×07 has told us with great beauty while leaving us gifts like this.

In the chapter we review how Ellie lived before becoming the object of study of the Fireflies. In his quarantine zone, the training and the impositions of the militarized society mean that he does not stop getting into trouble for which he ends up in the director’s office over and over again. It is in that scene where we see a curious keychain with a footprint that, to the fans of the video game, must sound especially.

It is, of course, the logo of Naughty Dog, the developer of the original that has led us to one of the best series on HBO Max. and that, before continuing the saga we are talking about with the brilliant ‘The Last of Us Part II’ in 2020, he already had a good collection of classics to his credit.

Founded in the 1980s by Andy Gavin and Jason Rubin, the company formerly known as JAM Software, Inc. went down in history thanks to ‘Crash Bandicoot’ (1996), the game with which they gave PlayStation their own Sonic.

After finishing off that first trilogy with the wonderful ‘Crash Bandicoot 2: Cortex Strikes Back’ (1997) and ‘Crash Bandicoot 3: Warped’ (1998) and achieving with ‘Crash Team Racing’ (1999) the only good version of ‘Mario Kart ‘, they repeated play on PlayStation 2 with ‘Jak and Daxter: The Precursor Legacy’ (2001), ‘Jak II’ (2003), ‘Jak 3’ (2004) and ‘Jak X: Combat Racing’ (2005).

With the arrival of PlayStation 3 things got serious and ‘Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune’ (2007), ‘Uncharted 2: Kingdom of Thieves’ (2009) and ‘Uncharted 3: Drake’s Betrayal’ (2011) arrived. )a saga that gave Naughty Dog the necessary prestige to embark on the adventure that ‘The Last of Us’ has entailed.

In addition to finishing off Drake’s saga with ‘Uncharted 4: The Thief’s End’ (2016) and ‘Uncharted: The Lost Legacy’ (2017), the developer has released ‘The Last of Us Part I’ in 2022, a visual remake of the 2013 version.
