The Last of Us arrives late 2012 / early 2013

Gamers might not know much about Naughty Dog's latest project, The Last of Us, but those eager to play the action survival game could have the title in their hands by the end of this year

As revealed by the GameStop-owned Game Informer magazine, The Last of Us will arrive for the PlayStation 3 in late 2012 or early 2013. When the game was announced in December, it was not given any kind of release window.

The Last of Us is Naughty Dog's first game outside of the Uncharted universe since 2005. It is a postapocalyptic survival game set in the United States that follows the efforts of main characters Joel and Ellie as they fight to survive.
