"The Last of Us Season 1 Steelbook Released Ahead of Season 2"

The first season of HBO's *The Last of Us* is widely regarded as the best video game adaptation to date, closely following the narrative of the iconic 2013 Naughty Dog game for PS3. As excitement builds for the second season set to air in April on Max, fans can now preorder a stunning limited-edition steelbook release of the first season, perfect for catching up before diving into the new episodes. This collector's item is scheduled for release on March 18. Here's a detailed look at what you can expect from this special edition.

Preorder The Last of Us: The Complete First Season (4K UHD Steelbook)

The Last of Us: The Complete First Season (4K UHD) is a must-have for fans and newcomers alike. This limited-edition collectible steelbook is priced at $49.99, but you can save 9% and get it for $45.44 at Amazon. It's also available at Target and Walmart. This release encompasses the entirety of the first game and the Left Behind expansion, enhanced with additional world-building storylines crafted by showrunners Craig Mazin and Neil Druckmann, who was also instrumental in the original video games.

In the HBO adaptation, Pedro Pascal brilliantly portrays Joel Miller, with Bella Ramsey bringing Ellie to life. Notably, Troy Baker and Ashley Johnson, who voiced Joel and Ellie in the games, also appear in the series. The show meticulously follows the journey of Joel and Ellie across a post-apocalyptic America, overrun by fungal zombies, as they seek a cure that Ellie might hold the key to.

As a fan of the *The Last of Us* series, I believe the show honors the game's compelling narrative beautifully. For an in-depth look, you can read our review of *The Last of Us* season one.
