The Last of Us

The original Joel and Ellie will play all-new characters in HBO's live-action re-imagining of The Last of Us next year.

Additionally, the studio shared a handful of new stills highlighting the improved graphics and character designs. This wasn’t the only major Last of Us news announced at the festival. News of Baker and Johnson’s Last of Us involvement was shared during today’s Summer Game Fest (via Collider). Naughty Dog Co-President Neil Druckmann (who is also writing and executive producing the TV series with Craig Mazin) brought both actors onstage at the event to make it official.

Unfortunately, the Summer Game Fest segment didn't give us any more clarity on when we can expect the "in-development" PC version. Given the assurance that ...

The listing says this is "a total overhaul" of the original, "faithfully reproduced but incorporating modernized gameplay, improved controls and expanded accessibility options." The trailer is still live here for now (opens in new tab)—when it's properly announced, I'll update with that. It's inspired by Cormac McCarthy's The Road, and sees the pair Joel and Ellie traversing a dangerous post-apocalyptic United States. Ellie's blood may hold a key to the cure for whatever virus has caused this, and Joel's job is to get her safely to the right people.

The Last of Us, Naughty Dog's acclaimed 2013 post-apocalyptic narrative action game, is being remade and relaunched for PlayStation 5 on Sept. 2, 2022.

Naughty Dog later released comparison screenshots that showcase the updated visuals of The Last of Us Part 1, which you can see in the image sliders below. The Last of Us Part 1 will include the game’s acclaimed prequel, The Last of Us: Left Behind. That expansion debuted in February 2014, eight months after the original game’s release on PlayStation 3. The leak confirms a year’s worth of rumors, beginning with a Bloomberg report in April 2021, that Naughty Dog’s celebrated action game from 2013 was getting freshened up for Sony’s newest hardware.

PlayStation Direct was recently (and inadvertently, it seems) updated with information on The Last of Us Part I, a remake of the original Naughty Dog ...

The original The Last of Us launched on PlayStation 3 all the way back in 2013. 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. 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.

Previously announced cast also includes Gabriel Luna, Merle Dandridge, Nico Parker, Murray Bartlett, Nick Offerman, Jeffrey Pierce and Anna Torv. Neil Druckmann ...

Joel, a hardened survivor, is hired to smuggle Ellie, a 14-year-old girl, out of an oppressive quarantine zone to the Fireflies, a cure-searching organization. The addition of Ashley Johnson and Troy Baker to the cast was also announced. Carolyn Strauss, Evan Wells, Asad Qizilbash, Carter Swan and Rose Lam are executive producers.

It's an online action game from Naughty Dog set in the depressingly bleak world of The Last of Us.

The series first, 2013 game included what became a beloved multiplayer mode, Factions, and according to Naughty Dog, the 2020 sequel’s shelved multiplayer was going to be inspired by that fan-favorite experience. We’ve known for some time that Naughty Dog has been working on a The Last of Us-inspired multiplayer project. However, these plans changed in the summer of 2019, when the studio announced it was shelving the online portion of its The Last of Us sequel in order to focus all of its resources on the single-player campaign.

The Last of Us PS5 Remake is scheduled to release on September 2 but won't come to PC until later.

The game was met with critical praise when it released back in 2013, with GameSpot's The Last of Us review calling it, "a singular adventure that looks the downfall of humanity in the eyes and doesn't blink." Some of Naughty Dog's other upcoming projects include the aforementioned Last of Us multiplayer game and something new from director Neil Druckmann. 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." The Left Behind DLC is included with The Last of Us remake, but not multiplayer--Naughty Dog is at work on a standalone Last of Us multiplayer game, it confirmed. The Last of Us remake is officially happening. It was also revealed that, in addition to a PlayStation 5 release, The Last of Us is also coming to PC, though the release date was not included in the trailer.

"It's as big as any of our single-player games"

The multiplayer game will have a story, with a "very unique" way of delivering its plot. "They really wanted to do something beyond what we've ever done before at Naughty Dog, and we felt that the way to do it justice is to make it a standalone title. "What started as a multiplayer mode has evolved due to the team's ambition," Naughty Dog's Neil Druckmann says.

We don't know a lot about The Last of Us' standalone multiplayer game, but one detail about the project seems to confirm a popular fan theory.

Given that a smaller version of the project was originally intended to be released alongside The Last of Us Part 2, it makes sense that the lore of the multiplayer game would still be closely associated with the most recent events in The Last of Us‘ timeline. Let’s also not forget that the Firefly’s presence seems to grow stronger in The Last of Us the further West that Joel and Ellie head. Actually, Seth (probably best known as the guy who tells Dina and Ellie to stop kissing in The Last of Us Part 2) is believed to have originated from San Franciso. More importantly, a note known as “Snipers’ Nest Log” found in The Last of Us indicates that the writer spotted a Firefly biologist arriving from San Francisco.

It has no name or release date as of yet, though the developer did share a piece of concept art. 2013’s classic horror game The Last of Us is being remade for PlayStation 5 and PC, developer Naughty Dog has announced.

Video game director Neil Druckmann (who also serves as an executive producer on the HBO show) previewed some deviations in the plot from the game to the show, but the series will adapt the first game. The Last of Us is set in a dystopian era two decades after the destruction of modern civilization, with hardened survivor Joel (Pedro Pascal) tasked with smuggling 14-year-old Ellie (Bella Ramsey) out of a quarantine zone to start a journey that will take them across the country. An official first look at what’s on the way with The Last of Us reveals Pascal’s Joel and Ramsey’s Ellie in what looks like a tense situation, and it turns out that some video game actors will have live-action parts to play.

This will represent the third time the game has been released, after it was remastered for PS4 as well, so PlayStation gamers are running out of excuses if they ...

It will, however, becoming to PC, marking the first time the game has been available on that platform, although that version will follow at a later date It also confirms the game's release date as 2 September 2022. It's slightly surprising that the game won't be coming to PS4, since The Last of Us Part 2 certainly looked superb on that older system.

This isn't the first time news regarding a The Last of Us multiplayer game began to circulate. That leak led fans to wonder if the enhanced version of the 2013 game would include its multiplayer mode, and now we know that, while it will not include multiplayer, Naughty Dog is working on a standalone The Last of Us multiplayer game with a brand-new story and cast of characters. A standalone Last of Us multiplayer game is on the way, Naughty Dog has announced.

The Last of Us Part 1 includes the base game as well as its prequel story Left Behind, which was originally released as DLC. On Thursday the company officially announced the long-anticipated remake, which is called The Last of Us Part 1, for PS5 and PC. The most expensive edition of the newly announced The Last of Us remake has already sold out in the US.

Along with the news of Baker and Johnson's upcoming roles, we also got a nice new picture from it. Baker and Johnson, who play Joel and Ellie in Naughty Dog's games, took to the stage during Summer Game Fest alongside The Last of Us creator Neil Druckmann. Here, the duo revealed that, while they can't say which characters they will be playing, they are very excited to be part of the show.

The Last of Us was already remastered once, but I guess this is the afterlife for any suitably high-profile and successful game these days. It's got a story, and the way we're telling that story is very unique to this game." It also promises "improved effects and enhanced exploration and combat."

As detailed on an official PlayStation blog post, Rochelle Snyder, Sr. Manager of Communications at Naughty Dog, dropped plenty of details about the remake. “We ...

Finally, a new screenshot from the in-development HBO show, The Last of Us was shown off. The Last of Us remake wasn’t the only news to drop. Coming September 2, The Last of Us Part I intends to make full use of the technological advances of the PlayStation 5.

The Last of Us Part I releases on September 2 for PS5, and there are two editions available to preorder now.

The Last of Us Part I will come with the base game and the Left Behind prequel DLC. It comes with a bunch of extras, including an exclusive steelbook case and the four-issue The Last of Us: American Dreams comic series with new cover art. The Last of Us Part I will be playable in 4K at 60fps. The Firefly Edition comes with a few physical goodies that are sure to interest collectors. Three editions of The Last of Us Part I are up for grabs: a standard edition for $70, a Digital Deluxe Edition for $80, and the Firefly Edition for $100 (but it's already sold out). Following a leak from PlayStation itself, The Last of Us Part I has officially been revealed.

The Last of Us 2 sales have crossed 10 million copies sold through despite being mired in needless controversy before launch.

But the fact is, The Last of Us 2’s success was never going to be dictated by Firstname Bunchanumbers shouting on Twitter. Buckle up, we’re going to see a lot more of Neil Druckmann and The Last of Us! The success of The Last of Us 2 doesn’t come as a surprise to those of us who didn’t indulge in mental gymnastics surrounding the game’s sales. That The Last of Us 2 sold through over 10 million in the same amount of time and without a PS5 release is pretty impressive and testament to its popularity.

HBO's The Last of Us finally shows Joel and Ellie's faces in a new official photo shared today.

This is the first official shot from The Last Of Us show that shows Pascal and Ramsey's faces, following a first-look that showed the actors from behind, looking at a crashed plane. Those roles were not announced, though, so we're curious if they'll be on the level of Easter egg cameos, or important roles. Oh, and we've just been shown how there's a Clicker hiding in the shadows!

Out of stock at PlayStation Direct - Nobody can definitively decide whether The Last of Us: Part I is a PS5 remake we real...

American Dreams is a prequel to The Last of Us and explains how Ellie met Riley, the co-star of DLC Left Behind. This expansion will be bundled in with the PS5 remake. The special version of the game includes a steelbook case and the four comic books that make up The Last of Us: American Dreams complete with new cover artwork. Available only in the US and exclusive to the PlayStation Direct website, the $99.99 physical Firefly Edition is already out of stock.

Game of Thrones veterans Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey are Joel and Ellie in HBO's The Last of Us, which just wrapped filming. Take a look!

The Last of Us follows Joel Miller, who’s tasked with smuggling Ellie — a 14-year-old girl who appears immune to a deadly zombie virus that’s brought down most of society — out of an oppressive quarantine zone. And for the last year, HBO has been filming a series, which has become the largest production in Canadian history. He announced that Ashley Johnson and Troy Baker — the voice actors for Ellie and Joel in the game — will have a part to play in the show.

“We aim to make our newest entry into multiplayer inviting to new players while still a thrilling challenge for more of our seasoned fans.” Most of us figured ...

Most of us figured out a while ago that The Last of Us multiplayer game has probably gone well beyond a Factions mode at this point. What we can say, however, is that The Last of Us multiplayer is all about Sony’s new push into live service. From the sound of things, The Last of Us multiplayer will be a big, ambitious release and one that’ll form part of Sony’s first major foray into live service.

Naughty Dog says “the most authentic video game adaptation yet” is coming soon…

It has its own story, a brand-new cast of characters, and more information is scheduled to be revealed in 2023. Druckmann then revealed a new image from the show (below), taken from an episode which he directed. It will cover the events of the first game and may include content based on The Last of Us Part 2.

News of a video game remake is always the bellwether to a hurricane of discourse. Has it really been that long? Does this game really deserve a remake?

Others have baselessly posited that a remake isn’t a Naughty Dog passion project but rather part of a Sony-directed marketing push for the forthcoming television adaptation. Naughty Dog, one of Sony’s most prestigious first-party studios, could be working on anything else right now, whether that’s another entry in its popular Uncharted series or an expansion for The Last of Us Part II. (Last night, Naughty Dog’s Neil Druckmann said he’s helming a new project at the studio but didn’t share any further details.) When The Last of Us came out in 2013, it was widely considered the ne plus ultra of graphical fidelity for its era. Announced last night during Hot Geoff Summer’s kickoff showcase, The Last Of Us Part I is a total remake of The Last of Us, Naughty Dog’s seminal apocalyptic action game for PlayStation 3. News of a video game remake is always the bellwether to a hurricane of discourse. This week, the eye of the storm is The Last of Us, as fans debate whether or not the visuals in the just-unveiled remake look measurably better than those of the original.
