Get ready for a new experience in The Last of Us Part II! Naughty Dog reinterprets Ellie’s adventure with a remastered version that promises new playable characters and extra content. The iconic game will now be even more beautiful and exciting on the latest generation consoles.

What was just a rumor yesterday is now a fact: The Last of Us Part II Remastered is coming soon, thanks to the team at Naughty Dog, who launched the award-winning game in 2020. The remastered edition is made not only with technical innovations but also with interesting content expansions to revive the interest of the players.

Coming to PlayStation 5 on January 19, 2024, the price of the game is still unknown, but PS4 owners will only need to upgrade for $10. The new edition also includes an exciting game mode called “No Return”, where you can play with characters that were previously unavailable in the series. In this mode, in addition to the fight against the infected, various challenges await the players. In addition, in the Guitar Free Play mode, the experience of playing music in the game is expanded by trying out several instruments.

Another special feature of the remastered edition is the “Lost Levels”, where Naughty Dog incorporated the scenes that were left out of the final version. Together with developer commentary, these provide insight into the making of the game. Game director Neil Druckmann, lead writer Halley Gross, and lead voice actors Troy Baker, Ashley Johnson, and Laura Bailey also commentate on the events of the campaign, providing even deeper insight into the story.

Many innovations are also expected from a technical point of view: the game will be enjoyed in 4K resolution and with better textures, shadows, and animations, taking advantage of the performance of the PS5. The haptic feedback of DualSense deepens the experience even more. The developers also put a lot of emphasis on accessibility features to make the game accessible to as many people as possible.

Like the remake of the first game, in this remaster you can also unlock extra skins for Ellie and Abby and their weapons, and you can capture your journey with the miniaturized photo mode.

Last but not least, a tangible release will be available directly from the PlayStation Store in certain regions, the W.L.F. Edition, which, in addition to the game, includes a cool metal case, a large number of colored cards, a sewing machine, and a handful of pins.
