HBO's *The Last of Us* Season 1 is widely considered the gold standard of video game adaptations. Faithfully following the 2013 Naughty Dog game (with a few enriching additions), this critically acclaimed season is now available in a stunning limited-edition steelbook. Pre-orders are open, with a release date of March 18th. Read on to discover what this must-have collectible includes.

This limited-edition collectible steelbook is a must-have for fans. Priced at $45.44 (a 9% saving from the original $49.99), it's available at Amazon, Target, and Walmart.
For the uninitiated, Season 1 faithfully adapts the events of the first game and its *Left Behind* expansion, enhancing the narrative with additional world-building elements. Showrunners Craig Mazin and Neil Druckmann (a key figure in the game's development) penned the scripts, ensuring authenticity and creative vision.
Pedro Pascal portrays Joel Miller, with Bella Ramsey as Ellie. Troy Baker and Ashley Johnson, the original game's Joel and Ellie, also appear. The series follows Joel's journey escorting Ellie across a post-apocalyptic America ravaged by a fungal infection, where Ellie holds the key to humanity's survival.
As a huge fan of the game series, I can wholeheartedly recommend the show as a captivating adaptation. For a more detailed perspective, check out our *The Last of Us* Season 1 review.
