The Last of Us series has seen newfound popularity due to the acclaimed HBO television show. The nine episode run is set to complete with the airing of its season finale on Sunday, March 12. This delay will conveniently also place the PC release date after the ending to the show’s first season wraps up. While delays are never ideal, this new launch date does let fans experience the entire story from the show before diving into the game.
