When it comes to TV/movie adaptations of video games, the biggest question is, “how much will they adapt to make it true to the lore?” After all, many unsuccessful adaptations have gone far from the source material to “make their own thing.” Or they only take the “base elements” and try to craft something around that. For the upcoming The Last Of Us adaptation on HBO, they seem to be sticking very close to the source material. The mission of Joel to take Ellie to the doctors who may have a cure for the infection that turned people into monsters has been on display throughout the many trailers.

A recent trailer reinforced that and teased much of what was coming. But, while many have compared the original game to the trailers and pointed out key connections to the title, one of the members of Naughty Dog made a key revelation. It was none other than Neil Druckmann, who is also a part of the live-action series behind the scenes, who revealed that while the game does adapt the games faithfully, it will have new material. More specifically, it’ll have material that was cut from the original games.
