The Last of Us: Discover Joel and Ellie Before Looking Back
Play The Last of Us before Left Behind and Part II, or begin HBO's adaptation with its first season. American Dreams is an earlier Ellie story, best approached as additional context.

Left Behind includes material before and during the first game. Its earlier scenes do not make it the clearest first introduction.
Overview & recommendation
The first game's power depends on a practical arrangement becoming a relationship the characters cannot easily put aside. Starting with Joel and Ellie's journey lets that change happen before another story explains more of Ellie's past or asks you to reconsider its consequences.
HBO retells the world with its own outbreak history and character choices. It is not a missing stretch between the game and Part II. American Dreams and Left Behind enrich the game route in different forms, but neither requires a reader to interrupt the central journey whenever a scene reaches an earlier date.
Follow the named game route: The Last of Us, Left Behind, then Part II. Read American Dreams when you want more of Ellie's earlier life. If watching, choose HBO Series and start its first season; future season announcements should remain separate from available episodes and unverified calendar claims.

Frequently asked questions 6 answers
Should I play Left Behind before the first game?
The first game is the recommended introduction. Left Behind includes earlier and overlapping material that gains meaning once you know Ellie and the main journey.
Does watching HBO mean I must next play Part II?
The show has its own adaptation history. Continue its season route if that is your chosen version; the games are another way to experience and compare the story.
Is American Dreams required before meeting Ellie?
It supplies additional earlier context. The main game introduces her, so the comic is an optional expansion rather than an entrance requirement.

The Last of Us has 10 entries: 6 games, 3 TV shows and 1 book, released between 2013 and 2025. 9 are already released and 1 is upcoming.
