Following a leak on the PlayStation Direct Store – that has since been taken down – a remake of The Last of Us for PS5 has been confirmed – dubbed The Last of Us Part 1. Eager fans will likely soon be able to pre-order the game, ready for it to officially release on September 2.
Rumours of the remake have been floating around for months. Earlier today, ResetEra user Modiz posted a link to the PlayStation Direct Store, which seemingly went live ahead of time.
The listing reads, “Experience the emotional storytelling and unforgettable characters of Joel and Ellie in The Last of Us, winner of over 200 Game of the Year awards and now rebuilt for PlayStation 5,” and describes exactly how the already brilliant game has been mastered further.
“Enjoy a total overhaul of the original experience, faithfully reproduced but incorporating modernized gameplay, improved controls and expanded accessibility options. Plus, feel immersed with improved effects and enhanced exploration and combat,” the listing continues.
The Last of Us Part 1 will include the entire single-player story of the game, and its prequel chapter, Left Behind. Additionally, the game will be sold in both a standard edition and Firefly edition, with the standard one costing $70 on the store. Both editions will include the Left Behind DLC.
As for those of us who were waiting for the remake to come to PC, we’re going to be waiting a little while longer. At the end of the trailer on the store listing, which shows the PS5 release date, it also confirms that the PC version is still in development right now.
Summer Game Fest is nigh, with the main show kicking off today at 11am PT / 2pm ET / 7pm BST, and lots more exciting announcements are to be expected.
