Awesome Video Imagines The Last of Us as an Open World Game

The Last of Us franchise is set to become bigger than ever over the next few years. As such, it seems fitting that fans are thinking of their own ways to expand the series, such as one The Last of Us player’s idea for an open world game.

The closest The Last of Us franchise has come to open world was the wide linear gameplay of the sequel. In particular, the first Seattle section where players can spend hours exploring is a good idea of what The Last of Us could accomplish as an open world game. Solving puzzles to unlock safes and acquire special weapons, looting buildings for collectibles, and stumbling upon Ellie’s memorable «Take on Me» performance were some of the things that made this section work well.

While Naughty Dog is preoccupied with The Last of Us Factions and a rumored remake of the original game, a fan named OzoneArcher has shared a concept trailer for the hypothetical project. The footage is a beautifully edited compilation of memorable shots from the series, with narration from Joel used alongside the harrowing music fans have come to expect from The Last of Us. As Joel reminisces about 4th of July family gatherings, a lineup of bodies is shown, a great way to depict how much has changed following the Cordyceps outbreak.

At the end of the brief, 30-second teaser, Joel is seen walking by a bus with his weapon ready. The game’s title is then revealed, going by the name The Last Days, with the Tension Films logo highlighting the creators of the incredible concept trailer. With Joel seen on his own, this hypothetical open world game would seemingly be a prequel that looks at his smuggling days prior to meeting Ellie.
