The Last of Us actor is confident in the quality of the HBO show: “Audiences will think the game is based on the series”

The Last of Us series is sure to attract gamers' attention, but it is no secret that Sony wants to expand its reach and engage a new audience with The Last of Us Part I or The Last of Us Part II. The corporation has big plans for its intellectual properties, as actor Jeffrey Pierce pointed out.

Pierce, who plays Tommy (Joel's brother), praised the series' cast. In his opinion, the team is doing an excellent job, making new viewers think that “the game is based on the TV series.”

“The team on HBO's The Last of Us is so great that people who watch it are going to think the game is based on the show.”

The series is important not only for Sony, but also for the future of the Naughty Dog studio. The multiplayer game The Last of Us Factions is set to release next year, so building as large an audience as possible will be beneficial.
