Faithfully following the 2013 Naughty Dog game (with a few enriching additions), this critically acclaimed series is now available in a stunning limited-edition steelbook. Pre-orders are open, with a release date of March 18th. Read on to discover what this must-have collectible offers.

This limited-edition collectible steelbook is priced at $45.44 (a 9% saving from the original $49.99). Available for purchase at Amazon, Target, and Walmart.
For newcomers, the first season masterfully encapsulates the events of the original game and its Left Behind expansion, while weaving in additional storylines that deepen the overall narrative. Showrunners Craig Mazin and Neil Druckmann (a key figure in the game's creation) penned the scripts, ensuring a seamless transition from game to screen.
Pedro Pascal embodies Joel Miller, with Bella Ramsey portraying Ellie. Adding a delightful touch, Troy Baker and Ashley Johnson (the game's Joel and Ellie) also appear. The series faithfully follows the core narrative: Joel's cross-country journey with Ellie through a post-apocalyptic America ravaged by a fungal pandemic, where Ellie holds the key to humanity's survival.
As a devoted fan of the game series, I can confidently say the show does the source material justice. For a more in-depth analysis, check out our Season One review.
