Halloween Horror Nights fans have wanted The Last of Us to be a house for years and it’s finally happening. Universal has announced the house for both Universal Orlando Resort and Universal Studios Hollywood. The house will be based on the post-apocalyptic PlayStation video game and it’s celebrating its 10th anniversary this year. It was also brought to life earlier this year as an HBO show.
Universal says:
Set in a ravaged civilization, where Infected and hardened survivors run rampant, Naughty Dog and PlayStation’s “The Last of Us” video game, which celebrates its 10th anniversary this year, has captivated audiences since its release. And now, guests can immerse themselves in a real-life experience that puts them directly into the game’s frightening world.
“The Last of Us” haunted houses on both coasts will propel guests into a world of carnage and mayhem as they follow in the footsteps of the game’s protagonists, Joel and Ellie, who endure a brutal journey in a world overtaken by a fungal virus that turns humans into various forms of a new threat known as the Infected. As guests encounter the Infected – Runners, Stalkers and Clickers – along with The Hunters, a band of hostile humans, they will need to navigate the Pittsburgh Quarantine Zone, including iconic locations from the video game such as the creepy and desolate The Hotel Grand and a labyrinth of dark and dank tunnels, in a desperate attempt to escape and survive.
The other announced house for Halloween Horror Nights 2023 is Chucky based on the USA/SYFY televisions series. Halloween Horror Nights kicks off at Universal Orlando Resort on Friday, September 1, and at Universal Studios Hollywood on Thursday, September 7. Select tickets are on sale for Universal Orlando, and tickets including the premium R.I.P. Tour are on sale for Universal Studios Hollywood.
