Why it matters: The new remarks by Neil Druckmann have worried fans about the upcoming season after a positive reception of HBO’s TLOU Season 1, as it might differ drastically from the game.
In a new interview with Variety, Neil Druckmann confirmed that he initially hesitated about changing The Last of Us Season 2, but others eventually convinced him. He loves these changes from the game’s story but assures fans that its DNA remains.
I love the changes that we’ve made. It’s a different version of that story, but its DNA is in there. [I am] Maybe more than excited.

Neil also points out that we can expect one or two more seasons from the game, as it is becoming increasingly difficult to extend these episodes.
For those not in the know, HBO’s The Last Of Us Season 2 is partially adapting the TLOU Part 2, with the rest being preserved for future seasons.
It’s unclear how much the TV show will deviate from the game, which has upset many fans with these remarks. HBO’s The Last of Us Season 2 is coming out on April 13 this year.
