Druckmann elaborated on the escalation of infected types and the spread of the infection, stating, \\\"Season 1, we had this new thing that wasn’t in the game of these tendrils that spread, and that was one form. 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.
