The Last of Us Release Date

Five months. That’s all that separates you from The Last of Us. Tonight, during the Spike TV Video Game Awards, Sony debuted a new trailer for The Last of Us, and it just so happened to end with the title’s release date for North America and Europe: May 7, 2013.

The Last of Us, of course, is the next game from developer Naughty Dog, creator of the Uncharted and Jak and Daxter franchises. Set in a post-apocolypic world, The Last of Us casts us as Joel, a man trying to get a girl named Ellie from one part of the United States to the other. In his way? Looters, destruction and a bunch of zombie-looking monsters.

Look for a whole lot more The Last of Us coverage on IGN as the May 7th release date gets closer.
