A few hours ago the Summer Game Fest 2022 took place, an event that was born with the intention of making us forget the mythical E3 but that, as was demonstrated yesterday, has a lot of work to do to even consider it. At least, for the end we had a small surprise that focused on telling us all the news about a game that turns nine these days since it was released on PS3. Indeed, we are talking about The Last of Us.
The series, smooth sailing
The fact is that as the culmination of that Summer Game Fest, Geoff Keighley brought one of the most recognizable names in the world to the stage. star system of the big development studios. Neil Druckmann, who has participated as director or screenwriter in some of Naughty Dog’s most notorious successes, such as Uncharted 4 or his own The Last of Us. So, who better to tell everything that is moving around one of the most beloved franchises by the general public?
And of course, aside from the topic of games, which also has news, a good part of the interview with Druckmann had to do with the series that HBO is preparing and that it seems that these days it is concluding the filming work. So post-production will start in no time and the phenomenon will begin to take shape. The Last of Us ahead of a release date that has not been revealed. As you know, they star Pedro Pascal in the role of Joel, and Bella Ramsey in that of Ellie, who will be the ones who carry the main interpretive load in the two main roles of the game.
Now, Naughty Dog and PlayStation Studios have not wanted to forget about two dubbing actors who helped in 2013 to bring the protagonists of The Last of Us. Is about Troy Baker, who voiced Joel, and Ashley Johnson, who did the same with Ellie. What mission has he entrusted to them now?
Will they put the voice?
This ad does not seem relevant to you, especially when The Last of Us arrived to Spain perfectly translated and dubbed and we do not have a living memory of what the voices of both Troy and Ashley are like, so it is possible that it does not touch us as much as the public that did play it in English. Even so, given the obvious impossibility of having to dub anyone because Pedro Pascal already has his own voice, as well as Bella Ramsey, both actors will be part of the cast in two roles that, during the event, were not revealed.
Of course, in addition to this curious addition to the HBO series, Naughty Dog took the opportunity to announce the arrival of a new remake of The Last of Us, the second after the one that went on sale in the summer of 2014 for the then newly released Sony PS4 console. Better graphics, more realism taking advantage of the new hardware and the same gaming experience, in addition to a multiplayer that seems to be better thought out than the original. Although if you look at it well, who missed it?
