Watch The Full Opening Cinematic From ‘The Last Of Us: Left Behind’
Next month, one of the last generation’s greatest games will get its first expansion. “The Last of Us” will be the first Naughty Dog-developed game that has seen single-player DLC, and from what we’ve seen of Left Behind so far, it looks pretty good. This expansion promises a different take on the game, as it follows Ellie and her best friend Riley.
Watch its full opening cinematic after the jump!
“The Last of Us: Left Behind” arrives on February 14th.

In the grim darkness of the far future there is only war, but it was a cheerful illustrator from England who helped to define the terrifying war-torn imagery that inspired what we now know as Grimdark (a hybrid genre combining horror with sci-fi/fantasy).
Unfortunately for fans of Warhammer 40,000, Trench Crusade and countless other sources of Grimdark thrills, veteran artist John Blanche passed away this week after struggling with health issues for the past few years.
While the artist retired back in 2023, he leaves us with an enormous legacy of iconic artwork that continues to inspire gamers and storytellers around the world to this very day.
The news is especially gloomy as it was only last year that Daniel Lowman and Napoleon Dynamite himself Jon Heder released The Grim & the Dark: The Search for John Blanche, a documentary following Heder’s exploration of the Grimdark genre culminating in a heartwarming encounter with Blanche in his own home.
Below is one of my favorite pieces by Blanche, his highly influential depiction of Warhammer 40k’s God-Emperor of Mankind on his Golden Throne.
We send our deepest condolences to John Blanche’s family, friends, and fans.
