A Clicker from The Last of Us has been skillfully portrayed by one passionate fan, captivating players of the action-adventure game on social media. Clickers are an enemy type that exist in The Last of Us universe and have appeared in both the 2013 original and 2020's The Last of Us Part 2.
In The Last of Us and in games with a pandemic-oriented plot, infected zombies are usually a recurring threat. There are enemies infected with the T-virus in Resident Evil, whereas Bloodborne puts players to the test against foes afflicted with a mysterious blood-borne disease. Similarly, The Last of Us pits the protagonist against Cordyceps-infected enemies, of which Clickers are a type. Over the course of the two games, Clickers have boasted a distinct terrifying influence over players, thanks to the creepy clicking sounds emitted by this type of enemy. A recent cosplay by one talented The Last of Us fan resulted in a realistic-looking Clicker portrayal.
On Reddit, user viperspy2 shared a picture of their Clicker cosplay in its full horrifying glory. They revealed that their take on the zombie-like creature was "homemade." Impressively, the costume recreated the Clicker look from The Last of Us games, accurately incorporating key traits such as the fungus-covered upper half of its face and the tattered clothes inherited from its host. In addition, cosplay photographer Foxfoo Photography's Facebook account revealed that viperspy2's Clicker look was also shown at the Singapore Comic Con 2024. Acknowledging the quality of the cosplay, some Reddit users labeled the work as "amazing" and "impressive." A couple of other comments admitted mistaking the cosplay for an in-game screenshot, indirectly praising its authenticity.
Clicker Cosplay Joins Company of Other Memorable The Last of Us Cosplays
With over a thousand upvotes on the game's subreddit at the time of writing, viperspy2's Clicker cosplay is yet another fan portrayal of a character from the post-apocalyptic game to gain popularity on the internet. In the past, an eye-catching The Last of Us Part 2-inspired Ellie cosplay achieved a similar positive reception on the same subreddit. Apart from portraying in-game characters, The Last of Us players have sometimes expressed their love for the game through other creations, such as custom fan art.
Even though developer Naughty Dog is currently focused on its next game, it may not necessarily be something specifically for The Last of Us fans. That's because a recent report suggests that the American studio's next title could be a brand-new IP instead of a Last of Us sequel, as was previously rumored. Either way, keeping in mind the Uncharted creator's past works, the forthcoming unannounced game should still generate significant interest among gamers in general.
