Who knew that the end of the world would be beautiful in its own way. Naughty Dog has released another developer diary focusing on the world of The Last of Us.

The world without us can be just as compelling as it is terrifying, and watching nature reclaim the planet after mankind's fall is gorgeous. The Last of Us is billing itself as,

"A genre-defining experience blending survival and action elements to tell a character driven story about a population decimated by a modern plague. 20 years after a pandemic has radically changed known civilization, cities are abandoned and being reclaimed by nature, infected humans run wild and survivors are killing each other for food, weapons; whatever they can get their hands on. Joel, a violent survivor, is hired to smuggle a 14 year-old girl, Ellie, out of an oppressive military quarantine zone, but what starts as a small job soon transforms into a brutal journey across the U.S."

Watch the video and let us know what you think. Pretty much everyone we know with a PS3 is looking forward to this as a huge title for 2013. The Last of Us will hit shelves as a PlayStation exclusive June 14.
