The Last of Us”: A 20-year Post-Apocalyptic Journey

In a world where modern civilization has crumbled, we follow Joel, a tough survivor, tasked with escorting Ellie, a 14-year-old girl, out of a strict quarantine zone. Initially a simple mission, it quickly transforms into a grueling and emotional odyssey as they navigate the United States, relying on each other for their very survival.

The stellar cast for season one includes Pedro Pascal as Joel, Bella Ramsey as Ellie, Gabriel Luna as Tommy, Anna Torv as Tess, Nico Parker as Sarah, Murray Bartlett as Frank, Nick Offerman as Bill, Melanie Lynskey as Kathleen, Storm Reid as Riley, Merle Dandridge as Marlene, Jeffrey Pierce as Perry, Lamar Johnson as Henry, Keivonn Woodard as Sam, Graham Greene as Marlon, and Elaine Miles as Florence. Ashley Johnson and Troy Baker also make appearances.

Initially, the preview video features writer/producer Gary Dauberman articulating his intention of providing viewers with a unique experience distinct from the gameplay. Director David F. Sandberg expresses that the movie will capture the same atmosphere and feel as the game, yet it will delve deeper into the universe’s lore. Sandberg further explains that in the game, players made choices leading to varying character deaths. The film aims to mimic this concept, where characters die and essentially begin anew in a different horror setting. To survive until dawn, they must navigate through these terrifying events as depicted in the preview video, which can be found below.

Because no PGA Tour game was played last year, this is the first golf game from 2K Sports since PGA Tour 2K23, which means it’s offering a bit more than typical. The 2025 edition features the PGA Championship, U.S. Open, and The Open Championship for the first time in the series, making history. Additionally, the EvoSwing mechanic has been significantly upgraded with new shot types, ball flights, roll physics, and visual enhancements. MyCAREER mode is said to be more immersive and customizable, along with a wider range of creation tools.

In the game ‘Exodus’, the bonds players establish with their teammates are crucial, as the developers have hinted that undertaking missions may impact relationships with characters you initially don’t interact with for some time. This is due to the fact that missions in ‘Exodus’ can span several years, or even decades.

According to Hill, “Project 3” is designed to tackle all significant player feedback from the 2023 release of “Lords of the Fallen,” while further enhancing the elements that players appreciated the most. The project will adopt a strategy of quality over quantity, aiming to attract a broader audience with enhanced onboarding processes, a more inviting aesthetic, and storytelling rooted in the west.

In the next edition, you’ll find 11 professional golfers right from the start, including Tiger Woods, Tom Kim, Lydia Ko, and Brooke Henderson. It comes packed with fresh shot types, EvoSwing mechanics, and enhancements to graphics, ball roll, and flight dynamics. The visual upgrades don’t stop there; it also offers 29 licensed courses for play. Interestingly, the Course Designer tool makes a comeback, enabling players to construct their unique levels with several new additions.
