The Last of Us - Naughty Dog’s wildly-popular videogame horror franchise - is set to make its theme park debut as part of Universal Studios’ ever-popular Halloween Horror Nights for 2023.
Set in a ravaged civilization where infected and survivors run rampant, The Last of Us made the transition to television earlier this year with a critically acclaimed HBO series and is now coming to theme parks as part of Universal’s annual horror spectacular.
Starting September 1 at Universal Orlando and September 7 at Universal Studios Hollywood and running through to October 31, visitors will be able to immerse themselves in a real-life experience that puts them directly into the game’s frightening world.
In the haunted house, guests will follow in the footsteps of the game’s protagonists, Joel and Ellie. Through the experience they will encounter the infected – Runners, Stalkers and Clickers – along with The Hunters, a band of hostile humans, with iconic locations from the videogame, including The Hotel Grand and a labyrinth of dark tunnels.
“As a massive fan – and frequent attendee – of Halloween Horror Nights, we are honoured to have The Last of Us included in this year’s lineup,” said Naughty Dog co-president Neil Druckmann.
“It’s been an incredible thrill for us at Naughty Dog to collaborate with Universal, bringing the world of the game to life, focusing on even the tiniest details that our fans know so well.”
