Something special is arriving just in time for fans looking to revisit HBO’s The Last of Us before the highly anticipated second season. Created by Craig Mazin and Neil Druckmann, the adaptation of Naughty Dog’s beloved game was a major hit in its first season.
With Pedro Pascal as Joel and Bella Ramsey as Ellie, The Last of Us Season 1 earned widespread critical acclaim and multiple Emmys for it’s gripping apocalyptic story. While HBO has confirmed that Season 2 will arrive in April 2025, additional details, including the casting of Kaitlyn Dever as Abby, have been steadily emerging. As excitement builds for the upcoming season, fans now have the perfect opportunity to revisit the story in a whole new way.
On March 18, HBO will release a Limited Edition 4K The Last of Us Season 1 Blu-ray Steelbook. This collector’s edition features all nine episodes in stunning 4K UHD, allowing fans to experience the show’s breathtaking cinematography and intense performances in the highest quality possible. The set also includes over two hours of bonus content, including behind-the-scenes footage, cast interviews, and an exclusive featurette, From Levels to Live Action, offering new insights into the show’s production. With its premium steelbook packaging, the edition is a must-have for dedicated fans and collectors alike.
he Last of Us: The Complete First Season is Now Available for Preorder
For those looking to secure their copy early, preorders for Season 1’s 4K Steelbook are currently available at a discounted price. The limited edition set is currently available for just $39.42 at Amazon and Walmart, but will jump back up to $50 upon its March 18 release.
The release of the 4K Steelbook edition reflects the growing trend of high-quality physical media making a comeback in the streaming era. In fact, March 18 is also the release date for The Lord of The Rings Middle Earth Box Set. For many fans, owning a tangible, high-resolution version of their favorite series provides a sense of permanence that digital streaming lacks. Given The Last of Us’s success and its impact on post-COVID pandemic audiences, the limited edition release is sure to sell out quick.
As anticipation for Season 2 is at an all-time-high, the release also comes at a pivotal moment for the franchise. The upcoming season will adapt portions of The Last of Us Part II, the controversial but highly acclaimed sequel to the original game. While fans remain divided on some of the scarcely released details like Abby’s changing physique, the general consensus is that fans trust showrunners Craig Mazin and Neil Druckmann to deliver something stellar.
The Last of Us: The Complete First Season (4K Ultra HD Steelbook) is available for preorder at Amazon and Walmart.
