The Last of Us Season 2 releases this April, and the sophomore season will up the ante in terms of how the deadly fungus spreads–and this will include by way of airborne spores.
Neil Druckmann confirmed this during a SXSW panel recently, saying the reason the team decided to do this in Season 2 was for dramatic purposes. “Everything has to be drama. There had to be a dramatic reason of introducing it now. And there is,” he said (via IGN).
In The Last of Us game series, the outbreak spreads from spores, but Season 1 changed things up and had the fungus spread via cordycep tendrils. There was a fan backlash against this.
