We are used to seeing a new episode of The Last of Us premiere on HBO Max every Sunday. It has happened with the first four, and it has already become a kind of tradition among the fans of the series, who have the whole week to reflect on the last thing they have seen.
However, as the Superbowl is celebrated this weekend, the most important sporting event in the United States, the premiere date has been changed for the first time in the series. but don’t worry! Instead of being bad news, it’s very good news for fans. We will not have to wait any longer to follow the story of Ellie and Joel, but something less.
Schedule and where to see episode 5 of The Last of Us
The next chapter of The Last of Us will be released two days before. HBO Max will premiere on friday globally the new episode, as it has been used to so far. So on 10th February you will able to watch the new episode.
In this way, American viewers will be able to see their next chapter of The Last of Us before following the final event of the NFL. And, for the rest of the world who may not be as interested in the Super Bowl, HBO Max is giving you an early gift so everyone can spend the weekend watching the series.
More than by the users, it also seems to respond to a strategic question. HBO Max has been chaining conversations and world Trending Topics for several weeks thanks to The Last of Us, and knows that it could not compete against the Superbowl and Rihanna’s concert at halftime. For this reason, bringing the episode forward a bit and giving a little more margin for the sixth seems like a perfect tactic to avoid losing prominence.
The next Chapter of The Last of Us titled as Endure & Survive, will bring more surprises and actions and we suspect a big monster is about to appears. Without a doubt, a warm weekend is expected with the new HBO Max series and the Super Bowl.
