The Last of Us tech, plot & more to be discussed in nine GDC panels

The Last of Us will be the focus of not on but nine GDC panel sessions in March, touching on the game's creation, writing, tech and more.

The Last of Us just scooped 'game of the year' at this year's D.I.C.E. awards, and its developer Naughty Dog is gearing up to release the game's expansion 'Left Behind' next week.

GDC 2014 kicks off March 19 and the panel sessions have yet to receive specific dates or times, but here's a run-down for your information. Head over to DualShockers for expanded session synopses.
