Sony May Re-Release The Last of Us Part 2 on PS5 with Improved Graphics

There are indications that The Last of Us Part II, the second game in The Last of Us series, might undergo a similar process as the first game, which was remade for the PlayStation 5. However, unlike the original game, The Last of Us Part II is a more recent release, having come out in June 2020 for the PS4. As a result, it is possible that it will only receive a “remaster” rather than a complete “remake” due to its relatively new status.

The game’s sound composer Gustavo Santaollala was the first to say, according to Spanish publisher Vandal, that the game’s developer Naughty Dog is working on “new versions” that would include a Santaollala character that players could approach and ask to play. certain songs.”

It’s worth mentioning that a similar feature already exists in The Last of Us Part II, where players can make Ellie – the main character of the game – play the guitar. In addition, Santaolalla’s character already exists in one of the game’s levels.

Remasters and remakes have become a regular feature of the video game industry, and Sony’s PlayStation has been at the forefront of this trend. In recent years, Sony has released several successful remakes and remasters, including Final Fantasy VII Remake and Demon’s Souls for PS5. These releases have allowed Sony to capitalize on both first-party IP and third-party exclusives that have been released on PlayStation consoles for generations.

Sony released a 60fps update for The Last of Us Part II in 2021, but the game is still missing several PS5-centric updates. Other games, such as Ghost of Tsushima and Death Stranding, have been relaunched for PS5 with Director’s Cuts – with native PS5 support, higher resolutions and other improvements. Therefore, it wouldn’t be strange for Sony to follow this strategy and release the Director’s Cut of The Last of Us Part II with native PS5 support.

The popularity of The Last of Us has exploded recently, and there’s no denying that the Emmy-nominated HBO Original series, starring Pedro Pascal as Joel and Bella Ramsay as Ellie, has played a major role in this.

In other news, The Last of Us multiplayer has reportedly been delayed due to development setbacks. Naughty Dog has also released a statement: “We’re incredibly proud of the work our studio has done so far, but as development continues, we’ve realized that the best thing for the game is to give it more time.”
