Once again, Naughty Dog is dusting off one of its gems for the current console generation. The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered, launching Jan. 19 for PlayStation 5, is currently available to pre-order and will come packaged with a host of upgrades. While its list of improvements isn’t as extensive as what we got with The Last of Us Part 1, Naughty Dog is clearly taking steps to capitalize with the PlayStation 5 hardware.
In addition to full DualSense controller integration and improved load times, the remaster will allow the game to play natively at 4K, and will have an unlocked framerate option for TVs with variable refresh rate. Naughty Dog has also added descriptive Audio and speech to vibration to the game’s suite of accessibility features. The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered will also include a host of new content in the form of additional outfits and weapon skins for Ellie and Abby, developer commentary tracks, and three new levels that never made it into the game’s initial release.
