The creators of The Last of Us were inspired by a mix of post-apocalyptic stories, including the movie 'The Road' and the book 'City of Thieves.' They wanted to create a game that combined intense survival scenarios with deep emotional storytelling. Plus, the idea of a fungal infection turning people into zombies was inspired by real-life cordyceps fungus!
The Last of Us? Straight-up influenced by grim tales like 'The Road' and the real-life creepy cordyceps fungus. Drama and horror at its finest!
Fungi FTW! The Last of Us concept grew from the wild idea of a real fungus, cordyceps, taking over human hosts. Nature is terrifying!
