This was originally a triple nomination, but has been split into three separate nominations. The other two are Template:Did you know nominations/Untitled The Last of Us game and Template:Did you know nominations/The Last of Us: Escape the Dark. MANdARAX • XAЯAbИAM 18:43, 27 January 2023 (UTC)

• @Rhain and Epicgenius: I'm a bit uneasy about both of these hooks; I'm sure it's not intentional, but having nothing to say about media franchises other than "they exist" or "coming soon" sounds a bit like advertising to me. theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (she/her) 01:33, 18 January 2023 (UTC)
  • @Theleekycauldron: Definitely a valid concern, but I'm struggling to think of an interesting, concise hook using all three articles. Should this nomination be split into separate hooks, or refocused on one of the articles? (I'm not bothered if refocusing on one makes the other two ineligible for now; they can always be re-nominated upon 5× expansion or GA.) – Rhain ☔ (he/him) 01:59, 18 January 2023 (UTC)
    • Well, I don't think we'd be losing eligibility on any of the articles. Opening up new nominations for each of the other articles is efficient, but probably a little cumbersome. I'd say that it'd be messier, but we can probably get by if you just propose separate new hooks down here and have them all reviewed and promoted into separate preps. theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (she/her) 02:05, 18 January 2023 (UTC)
      • I think proposing separate hooks is probably the best option; I've done that below. Please feel free to adjust my formatting as much as is necessary. – Rhain ☔ (he/him) 05:23, 18 January 2023 (UTC)

  • ALT1: ... that the second game in The Last of Us series was developed by over 2,100 people across 14 studios? Source: VG247
  • Comment: Image with ALT0 only
• QPQ is done. ALT1 is interesting and confirmed by citation - also appears in the article as "In total, approximately 2,169 developers across 14 studios worked on the game". The article is neutral and has the correct inline citations. The article appears to be free of copyright issues and the detector does not alert. Bruxton (talk) 16:33, 13 February 2023 (UTC)

TLoU Online

Would it be worth having a small paragraph on the development and cancellation of Online under the Video Games heading, à la the cancelled film that's under Other Media? I know it's covered in the development section, but I feel it gets a little lost in the wider details there. Nil🥝^Talk 00:06, 31 July 2025 (UTC)
