The Last of Us episode 8 release date: When does the next episode come out?

When is season 1, episode 8 of The Last of Us coming out? What can you expect in the eighth episode? Find out right here. 

The Last of Us continues to hit viewers in the heart. Watching Ellie lose someone else she cared for explains why she’s sarcastic. Wherever she gets close to someone, they leave her. It’s a way to stop herself from getting hurt. When you’re never serious, you don’t have to worry about getting hurt.

If you played the game, you knew the introduction of Riley Abel (played by Storm Reid) would make for a powerful episode. Nevertheless, seeing the characters as real people on TV (instead of animated video game characters) may have been even more hard-hitting.

Thankfully, episode 8 of The Last of Us may not be as heartbreaking. The only broken things viewers will see are bones. If this writer had to guess, you’ll meet David in the near-future. At first, he’ll seem like a kind person. Someone that can help Ellie and Joel. However, you’ll see that he’s nothing like he projected. He, and the rest of his community are  a danger to Ellie. And, well, we know that Joel will do anything to prevent Ellie from harm.

That said, when can audiences expect to watch episode 8?
