And then one shot you see in this trailer, there are things in the air.\\\" Mazin confirmed the spores\\' return, with Druckmann adding that their reintroduction serves a dramatic purpose in the storyline.
*The Last of Us* Season 2 is set to premiere on April 13, 2025, on HBO and HBO Max, promising an even more thrilling continuation of this beloved series.
