Whenever a classic gets remade, most fans are over the moon. For Last of Us diehards, it’s a little more complicated.
On Thursday, Naughty Dog revealed The Last of Us Part 1 — a complete remake that releases for PS5 on Sept. 2, 2022, and PC later down the line. It’s adding better visuals, controls, and gameplay tweaks. Pretty much everything you would want from a ‘modern’ retelling of this story.
The trouble is, most people still think of The Last of Us as something contemporary. For instance, when Part 1 comes out, the original won’t even be ten years old. Stranger yet, The Last of Us Remastered is already playable on PS5, further fanning the ‘why does this exist’ flames.
The Last of Us Part I is a complete remake of Naughty Dog’s original game. Hits PS5 September 2.
