The Last of Us Part I remake: Release date, trailers, gameplay, and more
It had been rumored for months, and even leaked before the official reveal, but it is now official that 2013’s game of the year, The Last of Us, is getting a full remake for the PlayStation 5. This stunning achievement of a title was developer Naughty Dog’s first new IP since starting the Uncharted games early in the PS3’s lifecycle, and came in the final year of that console’s life before the launch of the PS4. The game was quickly remastered for the new hardware in 2014, and its sequel, The Last of Us Part II, again came out right at the end of the PS4 era, this time a few months before the PS5 hit market.
Reports suggested that this remake was at first being handled by other Sony studios before eventually being brought back to its original developer Naughty Dog. While we already know the story of Joel and Ellie, there are plenty of new enhancements that the PS5 will bring to this remake. For everything we know about what is now named The Last of Us Part I, we’ve got you covered.
The announcement of The Last of Us Part I also came with a surprising release date. You will be able to relive, or experience for the first time, Joel and Ellie’s adventure on September 2, 2022.
This remake is launching as PS5 exclusive, but is also in development for PC. While Sony has been putting more and more of its flagship franchises on PC, such as God of War, Horizon, and even Spider-Man coming soon, this series has yet to appear on anything but Sony consoles until now. We don’t know when the PC version will release, but this is a great step for Sony and PC players to experience the best version of this already amazing title.
The announcement trailer was shown off during the June 2022 Summer Game Fest, and is a brief look at the game.
