Since its release in 2013, The Last of Us has established itself as one of the most notable franchises in modern video games. Between its two main games and the television adaptation produced by HBO, Naughty Dog’s post-apocalyptic saga continues to attract new fans.
However, information regarding the future of the series is still very limited. No official announcement regarding The Last of Us Part III has not been done at the moment, which pushes the community to turn to other new developments linked to the franchise. And in fact, a new release is planned for this month of March.
A new official statue of Joel and Ellie
Collectors will soon be able to discover a high-end figurine inspired by the first game. This is a statue called “The Last of Us: Joel & Ellie on Horseback Premium Statue”produced under official license. This piece depicts Ellie straddling Callus, while Joel walks alongside her.
The scene reproduces a notable moment from the first episode of the saga, when the two characters explore the University of Eastern Colorado. This sequence is one of the most memorable passages in the story, illustrating the relationship that gradually built between the two protagonists.
A highly detailed collector’s item
The statue is made in polyresina material often used for high-end collectibles. With a height of approximately 33 centimetersit depicts the characters with a particularly high level of detail. The project was carried out by Substance Modelworksa studio specializing in the creation of figurines inspired by popular licenses.
Every element of the statue, from the horse Callus to the characters’ clothing, was designed to faithfully replicate the game’s aesthetic. The result aims to capture the calm yet emotionally charged atmosphere of this iconic scene.
A high price for collectors
As is often the case with this type of object, the statue is primarily aimed at collectors. The announced price is around 350 dollarswhich makes it a fairly exclusive piece. Pre-orders are already open on the manufacturer’s official website. According to available information, the first deliveries should begin between March and May 2026although the exact date may vary depending on order volume.
The Last of Us’ future remains uncertain
As this new item hits the market, fans continue to wonder about the continuation of the franchise. Rumors have circulated in recent years regarding a potential The Last of Us Part III, but no official confirmation has been given. Neil Druckmann, creative director at Naughty Dog, had mentioned the existence of a scenario idea for a third episode.
However, the studio is currently working on other projects, including a new science fiction license. This schedule means that players will likely have to wait several more years before knowing more about the future of the saga. In the meantime, collectibles like this statue allow fans to continue celebrating the world of Joel and Ellie.
