The Last of Us introduces The Infected

Naughty Dog is gearing up to launch The Last of Us in a little over a month. Today, Neil Druckmann and Bruce Straley discuss some features in their upcoming game, including the origin of The Infected, the contrasting world of The Last of Us, and how enemies use both sights and sounds to keep you on your toes.

As previously discussed by Naughty Dog, they stumbled across the major premise for The Last of Us when watching a documentary about a fungus that infects insects. When pondering the possibility of this fungus jumping species and infecting humans, The Last of Us was born.
