在2000年代末和2010年代初，當時的娛樂媒體充斥着喪屍題材，遊戲也是如此。《最後的生還者》剛公佈時，許多人把它誤認爲是一款普通的喪屍遊戲，玩家可以到處打喪屍，而且喪屍永遠都打不完。

在最近接受《好萊塢報道》採訪時，系列創作者兼總監、頑皮狗聯合總裁Neil Druckmann解釋道，他認爲《最後的生還者》是《生化危機》的反面，他表示《生化危機》是他喜歡的一個系列，但該系列在基調和風格上更加誇張。

他說：“我們想要做與《生化危機》相反的事情，我喜歡生化危機，但它太誇張了，你要與巨大的蜘蛛戰鬥，還有各種各樣的奇怪敵人。”“但如果我們做一個在喪屍背景下關於情感關係的遊戲呢，探索父母對孩子無條件的愛，以及從中可能產生的美好事物和真正可怕的事情。”

就結果來看，頑皮狗成功了，工作室最近宣佈，《最後的生還者》系列在全球的銷量已超過3700萬套。另外基於該IP的獨立多人遊戲也在製作中，另外HBO改編劇也很快將會首映，據傳遊戲正傳第三部也在開發中，這一系列規模正在逐漸壯大。

Back in the late 2000s and early 2010s, entertainment media was saturated with zombies, and that very much applied to games as well. On paper and at first glance, when it was initially unveiled, many could have easily mistaken The Last of Us for being another run-of-the-mill game where you go around killing zombies- of which there’s never been any shortage. Of course, it didn’t take long for it to become clear that The Last of Us was going to be much more, thanks in large part to its much more adult and grounded tone, and how dedicated it is to its story and characters. That, in fact, was very much how the series’ creators originally envisioned it. In a recent interview with The Hollywood Reporter, series creator and director and Naughty Dog co-president Neil Druckmann explained that he envisioned The Last of Us as “the opposite of Resident Evil“- which, he says, is a series he loves, but one that’s always been much more over-the-top in its tone and style. “We wanted to do the opposite of Resident Evil — which I love, but it’s so over-the-top and you’re fighting giant spiders and it’s all about enemy variety,” he said. “What if it’s about intimate relationships — an exploration of the unconditional love a parent feels for their child and the beautiful things that could come out of that and the really horrible things that could come out of that?” It’s fair to say that it worked out. Naughty Dog recently announced that The Last of Us series has sold over 37 million units worldwide. With a standalone multiplayer game in the works, the HBO adaptation premiering soon, and a Part 3 rumoured to be in development as well, it’s safe to say that it’s only going to get bigger.
