We realise that most Naughty Dog fans and readers of PlayStation Blog will have probably already played The Last of Us and maybe even the Left Behind Add-on chapter – if you enjoyed the games, be sure to tell your friends that haven’t played of this great introduction to The Last of Us. You can get more immersed into the story of Ellie and Riley in The Last of Us: American Dreams comic book, published by Dark Horse, co-written by Faith Erin Hicks and The Last of Us Creative Director Neil Druckmann, with interior art by Faith Erin Hicks. While part of the story of Left Behind takes place during the main narrative arc of The Last of Us, I think some of the best and most touching moments of any game in recent memory occur during the prequel segments, as we follow Ellie and Riley as they sneak out of boarding school to visit an abandoned mall, getting one final chance to enjoy their friendship before Riley leaves to join the Fireflies. If you haven’t had a chance yet to check out The Last of Us, this is a nicely priced gateway to checking out the world and characters so many people (and critics) loved.

We will be dropping the price of the Left Behind Add-on on PS3 to the same price on that day as well. The Last of Us: Left Behind standalone will be available on both PS3 and PS4 from 12th May for only €9.99/£7.99. The team here at Naughty Dog is excited that Left Behind, the critically acclaimed and award-winning single-player chapter to The Last of Us, will be available as a standalone download via the PlayStation Store.
