With its critically acclaimed television adaptation now complementing its status as a cornerstone of modern gaming, The Last of Us franchise continues to expand its cultural footprint. This persistent popularity ensures a steady demand for merchandise and related media. For enthusiasts and collectors, a period of notable price adjustments has arrived, offering opportunities to acquire premium items and core narrative experiences at reduced costs.
Highlighting the current offers is a premium collectible item: the Limited Edition The Last of Us Part 2 Notebook Set from Cook and Becker. Originally positioned at a price point reflecting its specialized nature, this set is now available for $100, a reduction from its standard $130 price. This collection is designed to resonate deeply with fans, meticulously crafted to resemble artifacts from the game world. It features a duology of notebooks, each themed around the game`s central figures, Ellie and Abby, complete with unique internal and external artwork.
Beyond the principal notebooks, the set includes several thematic extras: an art print, graphite and carpenter`s pencils (presumably suitable for sketching post-apocalyptic flora or perhaps drafting escape routes), a themed guitar pick, a paperclip fashioned into a guitar shape, various stickers, and, in a touch of thematic appropriateness bordering on the darkly humorous, a set of post-it notes shaped like Molotov cocktails. The entire ensemble is housed within a deliberately weathered luxury slipcase box, designed to enhance its collectible appeal and aesthetic consistency with the game`s universe.
In addition to this specific collectible markdown, wider discounts are present across The Last of Us catalog, aligning with broader digital retail promotional events. The core gaming experiences are accessible at lower entry points:
- The Last of Us Part 1 Remastered (PlayStation 5) is currently listed around $42, down from its initial $60.
- The Last of Us Part 2 (compatible with PlayStation 5) is available for approximately $30, reduced from $60.
For individuals interested in the developmental process and artistic direction of the series, the official art books published by Dark Horse are also part of the current sale landscape. Both “The Art of The Last of Us” and “The Art of The Last of Us Part 2” (including its Deluxe Edition) are seeing discounts, typically ranging from $30 to $60 depending on the specific volume and edition. These publications offer detailed insights into the visual evolution and design principles that define the franchise`s distinct atmosphere.
Furthermore, the popular HBO television adaptation is available in a physical format at a reduced price. “The Last of Us: The Complete First Season” on 4K Blu-ray is marked down to approximately $19 from $20. This release includes a substantial collection of bonus features, providing additional context and behind-the-scenes perspectives on the show`s production.
These collective reductions present a timely opportunity for fans to deepen their engagement with The Last of Us, whether through acquiring unique, high-quality collectibles like the notebook set, experiencing the narrative core of the games, exploring the artistic foundations, or owning the lauded television adaptation.
