On June 14th, 2013, Naughty Dog released The Last of Us for the PlayStation 3. The game became nothing short of a global phenomenon, spawning a PS4 sequel and an upcoming HBO series. It remains to be seen what will come next for the games, though it seems that a standalone multiplayer game is currently in the works, and Neil Druckmann has expressed that there are some ideas for a third game in the series. It remains to be seen what will come next, but in honor of the first game’s anniversary, Naughty Dog took to Twitter to thank fans for their passion.

…while others can’t believe it’s only been eight years!
Few pieces of fiction have affected me as much as The Last of Us has. Crazy to me that the game has only existed for 8 years, feels like it has always been a part of my life. I love it so much. https://t.co/mbzd9nieRq
