And right around the corner in the case of the PS5, with The Last of Us Part I set to arrive on September 2, 2022. A release date for the PC version is TBC, hopefully not too long after that. Rebuilt from the ground-up for next-gen hardware, developer Naughty Dog has brought some of the The Last of Us Part II magic to the original.

Yeah, it looks impressive.



As for the changes, Naughty Dog notes, "We’ve implemented modernized gameplay, improved controls, and expanded accessibility options in this single-player experience to allow even more individuals to enjoy the game. Effects, exploration, and combat have all been enhanced. Leveraging the PS5’s powerful hardware, we also implemented 3D Audio, haptics, and adaptive triggers. Both returning fans and new players alike will have the opportunity to experience both The Last of Us Part I and its prequel story Left Behind in a whole new way."

A definite step up even from the recent remaster.
