The Last of Us: Part I and Part II Scripts

by Neil Druckmann, Halley Gross

An ornately designed volume featuring the award-winning scripts behind The Last of Us games, written by Neil Druckmann and Halley Gross!

Join Joel and Ellie from the very beginning of their unforgettable journey.  Relive every climactic moment from The Last of Us Part I, from the duo’s time with Tess in Boston, to Ellie’s joy while petting giraffes, to Joel’s heart-wrenching decision at the Fireflies’ hospital. And dive into The Last of Us Part II’s dual-perspective story, including Abby’s shocking introduction to the story, Ellie and Dina forging a bond together, an enthralling encounter with the Rat King, and the final showdown between Ellie and Abby.

This volume contains the script from both The Last of Us Part I and The Last of Us Part II, as well as the DLC, Left Behind, so you can experience every bottle thrown, every bad pun of Ellie’s, and every heart-pounding encounter with the Infected in a totally new way. Much like Savage Starlight was to Ellie, The Last of Part I and Part II Scripts is a must-have for any fan’s bookshelf (or survival kit).

i KNOW my friends are tired of hearing me say this but the last of us part 2 is the greatest story ever written in the history of the written word. what else can i say. this is perfect. i cried. i smiled. i heard ashley johnson’s voice in my head and had to close my eyes and get real serious about her delivery’s impact on her character and the story at large. you can’t be better than this. i’m sorry you just can’t.

First time I’ve ever read a game script and what a feat in masterful storytelling.

I am a huge fan of the TLOU universe and it was pretty obvious that I will adore reading the original scripts to both games.
The structure is classic for the script and it was easy to read. I love additional details that were not added to the game. Adore the cordyceps on pages and spend great time reading familiar scenes.
Great edition for a gamer

STUNNING volume!

The Last of Us Part II will always be the best written story ever. Every time I play it, watch a let's play, or read about it, I'm blown away.
Such a bold choice but it works so well.

Read this while replaying the games. This is a story that will change you forever. The second game will especially stick with me for the rest of my life.
