The Last of Us 2was released earlier this year and made waves in the gaming community. The sequel toThe Last of Usmanaged to smash sales recordsand create a new benchmark for attention to detail in gaming. ButThe Last of Usis also known for its well-drawn characters and post-apocalyptic world, which has inspired plenty of fans to pay tribute to the game in their own way.
The Last of Usgames are set in a world ravaged by a pandemic known as the Cordyceps Brain Infection, which infects people in a number of stages. There are six known infected types inThe Last of Us 2, ranging from the first stage, Runners, to the boss-type known as the Rat King, the most horrific stage. The cordyceps infected inThe Last of Usare quite different from many of the traditional zombie types seen in other horror games, which has inspired a number of terrifying cosplays by fans over the years.

A fan has shared their impressiveThe Last of Us 2cosplay, showing a very realistic Clicker costume. Linagabrielle on Reddit dressed up as some of the infected fromThe Last of Us 2for Comic-Con in 2017 and the Clicker outfit is particularly impressive. Clickers are blind thanks to the fungus growing on their heads, and this cosplay has definitely nailed the mushroom growth look thatThe Last of Ususes, as well as the stages of transition between Runner and Clicker.
Clickers are one of the more common infected types that players encounter inThe Last of Usgames, but they are also one of the most deadly. Clickers use sound to locate the player and are much harder to kill than the average runner. Failing to take one down in time can lead to some brutal cut-scenes for the player. The devs at Naughty Dog have been open about the particular care thatwent into crafting the Clicker, in particular the sound design that is required to make the iconic clicking noise.
This isn’t the first instance ofimpressive cosplay inspired byThe Last of Us, but without any conventions or events to show off their work this year, many fans have taken to social media to share their efforts. Naughty Dog also recently celebratedThe Last of UsDay by releasing a bunch of free themes and new merchandise, which will definitely help fans with their future cosplay endeavors.
