At the heart of The Last of Us’ story is Joel Miller (Troy Baker), a once-loving father, turned brutal mercenary following a tragic event during the early hours of the Cordyceps outbreak. Then a young girl named Ellie Williams (Ashley Johnson), thought to be humanity’s saviour, finally gave Joel something to live for.
Troy Baker also played another character in a different Naughty Dog series, namely, Samuel Drake in Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End, brother of Nathan Drake, played by Nolan North.

At the time of writing, Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet does not have a released date, but it is confirmed for PlayStation 5. We’ll keep you updated once its release date drops.
The Real Housewives universe is reeling as shocking claims surface from Jamal Bryant, who reportedly says the ongoing custody battle is rooted in the children’s own devastating testimony. According to insiders, the children allegedly described neglect so severe that they are begging to leave Gizelle’s care, painting a grim picture behind the Bravo cameras.
