HBO’s ‘The Last of Us’ Comes to Blu-ray and 4K This Summer

Published

on

If you still haven’t gotten around to seeing HBO’s adaptation of The Last of Us (which once again pulled in huge numbers, this time for the season finale), you’ll be able to do so later this summer on Blu-ray and 4K UHD.

The first season of HBO’s The Last of Us adaptation will see a physical release on July 17, with preorders already live on Amazon UK. In addition to the standard releases, there will also be a 4K Steelbook version that sports some sweet-looking clicker artwork. No word on if the Steelbook is exclusive to Amazon, or whether North American fans will be able to snag it. In fact, it’s not clear at the moment if the series will see a physical release in North America. The good news is that the Blu-ray and 4K releases will be region free.

In addition to including all nine episodes of the first season, the sets will include the following bonus features (thanks, VGC):

  • The Last of Us: Stranger Than Fiction (New Featurette Exclusive to 4K, BD and DVD) – Series cast and filmmakers are joined by experts in survival, microbiology, and parasitology for a chilling discussion on the realities of the invasive fungus and subsequent apocalypse in The Last of Us.
  • Controllers Down: Adapting The Last of Us (New Featurette Exclusive to 4K, BD and DVD) – Follow the journey of The Last of Us from console to screen as cast and filmmakers take us inside the process of expanding the world and breathing new life into the game’s beloved characters.
  • From Levels to Live Action (New Featurette Exclusive to 4K, BD and DVD) – Discover how The Last of Us incorporated and expanded fan-favorite game moments in the series.
  • Getting to Know Me (4 Featurettes)
  • The Last Debrief with Troy Baker (2 Featurettes)
  • Inside the Episode (9 Featurettes)
  • Is This a The Last of Us Line? (2 Featurettes)

Currently, The Last of Us is scheduled for a second season, though no start date for production has been announced.

When best friends Glen (Stephen Dorff) and Terry (Louis Tripp) stumble across a mysterious crystalline rock in Glen’s backyard, they quickly dig up the newly sodden lawn searching for more precious stones.
