On May 15, 2013, The Last of Us had " gone gold", meaning all development of the game had been completed and mass manufacturing had begun. Set in the post-apocalyptic United States, the game tells the story of survivors Joel and Ellie as they work together to survive their westward journey across what remains of the country to find a possible cure for the modern fungal plague that has nearly decimated the entire human race. The game was developed by a portion of the employees at Naughty Dog, while the other half of the company went to develop Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception established for the purpose of creating new intellectual property as well as continuing the Uncharted series simultaneously. The Last of Us is a third-person action-adventure survival horror video game created exclusively for PlayStation 3, and was later remastered for the PlayStation 4.
