Each year in September, Naughty Dog celebrates The Last of Us Day (formerly called Outbreak Day until the studio wisely changed it in 2020). 26 is the in-game date of the Cordyceps outbreak, and Naughty Dog uses that day as an opportunity to celebrate the franchise with things like new wallpapers , very cool merch , and a trailer for the HBO show .

This year, the most notable announcement might be DLC... for an entirely different game series.
