We now have a new rumor that gamers are about to get The Last of Part 2 Remastered again.

HBO's TV adaptation of The Last of Us recently began filming for season two, which will of course delve into the plot of the second game. The Last of Us: Part II had a larger cast, with quite a few side characters filling out the wider picture, and this will be reflected in the show.

We’ve seen a bit of a boom lately regarding films and television series being adapted from video game source material. It’s not necessarily new, but we’re seeing more success lately. A good reason for some of these successes is that the source material is not trying to be crammed into a movie. That’s precisely what was going to happen to The Last of Us before HBO picked up a television series. 

Uncharted 4 and Last of Us creative director Neil Druckmann has said he’s started thinking seriously about when he might stop making blockbuster games.

Naughty Dog co-president Neil Druckmann started at the company as a gameplay programmer for Jak 3 and X: Combat Racing 20 years ago, but quickly rose in the ranks, serving as co-writer for several of the Uncharted games and as creative director on both The Last of Us titles.

The Last of Us was a massive hit on HBO, and with its success, the network was quick to renew the series for a second season early into the first season. However, if you’re eager to get into the next season, you’ll be left waiting a good while. We already know that the second season is not set to air until next year after the Hollywood strikes caused production delays across the board. But today, we learned that the second season has already begun filming. 

January seems to have been a strong month for Sony, at least in Europe. According to data pulled together by GamesIndustry, last month saw successes for the platform holder in terms of both software and hardware — not a bad way to kick off 2024.

With the release of Grounded II: Making The Last of Us Part II, fans have been given a unique insight into the challenges and triumphs developer Naughty Dog encountered while creating its violent sequel, The Last of Us Part II. One of the biggest genuine surprises was a few almost throwaway lines, revealing that the cinematic adventure originally began life as a purely melee open-world game, one heavily inspired by FromSoftware's own grim epic, 2015's Bloodborne.

One of the more heartbreaking revelations of Naughty Dog's recently released Grounded II: Making the Last of Us Part II documentary was the extent to which unwell The Last of Us fans took their grievances. The worst of it, according to Abby actor Laura Bailey, was «real hardcore death threats», some of which were even directed at Bailey's newborn child.

As The Last of Us season 2 finally starts filming, a new photo from behind the scenes shows off a location that fans of the iconic video games series the show is based on will be intimately familiar with.

A ton of anticipation is built around the upcoming season of The Last of Us. Naughty Dog captured quite a thrilling storyline featured in a cinematic-style gameplay experience. As a result, it might have been easy for this adaptation to captivate an audience of both gamers and non-gamers.

Last week, we put the spotlight on The Last of Us Part II Remastered using #PSshare #PSBlog. Here are this week’s highlights:

The Last of Us was such a massive hit on HBO. Naughty Dog created a truly cinematic gameplay experience that translated well into a series adaptation. This live-action series was released and gained a following immediately, prompting HBO to order a second season. However, the second season has not had the smoothest start. You can blame the delay in this production on the strikes in Hollywood. But now that the strikes have ended, productions have once again started back up with The Last of Us season two, which is expected to begin filming shortly.

Naughty Dog recently announced that the launch of The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered would be accompanied by a making-of documentary for the acclaimed action-adventure title, in similar vein to the documentary that was released for the first game, and now that the remaster is out, the documentary’s release date has also been confirmed.

Four new directors are set to helm The Last of Us season 2 – and we're so excited.

Naughty Dog released Grounded to showcase the behind-the-scenes work that went into creating The Last of Us. It was a huge hit and drew back the curtain for players to see what goes into the making of a video game. So, with the launch of the more recent The Last of Us Part II Remastered, it was unveiled that another documentary video was coming. Grounded II: Making The Last of Us Part II will be yet another look at the creation of this game and the efforts Naughty Dog went through to ensure the game had a successful launch.

The Last of Us Part II Remastered arrived last week, and if the cutscene commentary from the game's director, writer and key actors wasn't enough for you, Naughty Dog has another behind the scenes piece coming. Grounded II: Making The Last Of Us Part II, a documentary on the game's creation, will arrive on February 2 at 12PM ET on YouTube as well as in the game itself. There's a trailer in the remastered game currently, and the full documentary will be added via a downloadable patch. That patch will also have some new skins for Ellie and Abby in the main game.

With the release of The Last of Us Part II Remastered, gamers are again going through the emotions of playing this title and the incredibly dark story that Naughty Dog presented to them originally on the PS4. Now, with the PS5 version, fans aren’t just getting the most “aesthetically pleasing version” of the game but also getting insight into what made this game what it was. The documentary attached to the new game brought the voice actors into the mix and creative director Neil Druckmann to explain some of the game’s key moments. But the biggest moment that everyone wanted to hear about was the “final battle” between Abby and Ellie.

The survival missions your chosen character can attempt in a run could unlock additional features. It may take time to meet every goal, but each challenge offers an exciting opportunity.

Naughty Dog has received plenty of criticism of late for the renewed emphasis it’s placed on re-releases, but clearly, those re-releases are paying off for it and Sony. The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered launched last week, and it seems to have got off to a solid start where its sales are concerned, having debuted at No. 3 in the weekly UK physical sales charts.

The Last of Us 2 Remastered's director commentary has revealed a very different ending for the Naughty Dog sequel, and I'm so glad it didn't turn out this way.

A fan of The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered expressed their frustration over an annoying aspect of the game's No Return mode, which prevents players from playing background music on their PlayStation 5. However, another fan of The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered offered an easy solution.

2024 may have only just kicked off, but the pace at which we’re getting new releases isn’t slowing down. Last week, we got a couple of major ones in the form of The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered and Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown, and as per data provided by the Gfk for weekly retail sales in the UK, both have debuted high in the latest charts, with The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered coming in at No. 3 and Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown at No. 4. 

The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered released last week, giving players a native-PS5 version of Ellie and Abby's harrowing experiences.

Joel seems a decent choice if you're delving into No Return, The Last of Us Part 2's brand-new roguelike mode. With a powerful custom revolver, an upgraded melee weapon, and a shiv (plus a recipe to craft more), his is the best starting loadout of all. Unfortunately, he also has the biggest disadvantage: he can't dodge. 

After a decade of perfecting the narrative-driven, action-adventure formula, PlayStation’s first-party games are tackling a new genre: the roguelike. Both God of War Ragnarök and the recently released The Last of Us Part II Remastered have their own roguelike modes that remix the core combat of their respective games into a repeatable action premise. At a quick glance, they’re very similar. Both modes have players cutting through arenas filled with enemies and grabbing new upgrades en route to a final boss battle.

is deeply narrative-driven, and near-constant dialogue throughout the game results in very fleshed out characters. From old favorites like Joel, to new leads like Abby, has a knack for delivering compelling quotes. The story's stakes are high and the game's characters are incredibly complex. With such a dire post-pandemic world and a cinematic flair, it's unsurprising that is filled with memorable lines.

The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered boasts some pretty good-looking 4K textures, but one player found that the downside of the ultra-high-resolution images is that they've been stuffed with some lorem ipsum details. Although The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered has been subjected to some criticism, this little «issue» is at least on the harmless and funny side.

With The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered out in the wild, many steely survivors are likely reliving the game's most heartbreaking cutscene. But one modder has now made that scene playable in a clip that's both cathartic and even more brutal. (Spoilers ahead.)

is a bit of a misnomer. It certainly ups the visuals from the original 2020 release of, but it also provides a fair amount of new content. The most significant is No Return, a roguelike game mode, but it also includes three Lost Levels, galleries of concept art, new skins for characters and weapons, a developer commentary track for the main game, and a few more odds and ends. Developer commentary piques interest, and its implementation in the campaign is middling, but the Lost Levels, which also include it, are a revelation.

The Last of Us Part 2 is a game full of sadness and tragedy, with a few tender and heartwarming moments sprinkled throughout to give the more dramatic and emotional scenes more punch. One of these moments is when players get a brief glimpse of what a normal life could've looked like for Ellie and Dina, having players explore and maintain a farmhouse following the birth of JJ.

It’s been another frigid week here in the UK, so we’ve naturally taken the opportunity to stay inside as much as possible and play some video games. And since it’s the middle of January, that’s also meant playing games from before 2024… with a few notable exceptions.

Naughty Dog's is a devastating tale of parallel protagonists. Its inciting incident is a brutal torture sequence, and the game only spirals into more stomach-turning violence from there on. By the time reaches is unflinchingly bloody finale, it's difficult to feel as though something has actually been accomplished after experiencing a narrative that has only plummeted wildly into chaos. 's core tenet seems to be a warning that violence only begets violence, and the game's focus on insatiable revenge only leaves those involved with traumatic uncertainty.

Sony is seemingly issuing automatic refunds for some PlayStation 5 gamers that purchased The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered for full price when they could have upgraded from the PS4 version for just $10. The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered is just the latest PlayStation exclusive to get the PS5 upgrade treatment. A variety of PS4 games have been given upgrades on the PS5, with some offering free upgrades and others charging players for the boost.

It’s true that when The Last Of Us Part II Remastered was announced that many gamers rolled their eyes. This was a PS4 game that was getting a “remaster” for PS5, and it once again felt like a company trying to get a money grab because they knew how popular the game was on a previous system, so they “upgraded it slightly” and then brought it to the newest system. However, we’ll give Naughty Dog credit. Not only did they upgrade the visuals for the title, but they also gave players more to do than in the PS4 version. Key among these additions was “No Return Mode.”

PlayStation is giving refunds to anyone who pre-ordered The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered for full price despite being eligible for the $10 upgrade path.

The major draw of No Return, the new roguelike game mode added to , is being able to use character players have heretofore been unable to control. Abby, Ellie, and Joel are all unsurprisingly among the No Return roster, joined by Dina, Jesse, Tommy, Lev, Yara, Mel, and Manny. While randomized gauntlets of encounters are sure to keep the game mode dynamic, it's made all the more varied by each character also having their own playstyle, complete with different starting equipment and traits.

The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered is a strange blend. On one hand, it’s a good excuse to revisit Digital Trends’ 2020 Game of the Year selection. On the other, it’s a bizarre package filled with tone-deaf bonus modes that water down the base game’s own message on cyclical violence. Considering that it’s not as much of a “remaster” as its title implies, I wouldn’t blame most players for skipping it.

The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered is out now for PS5, and developer Naughty Dog has released a launch trailer to commemorate its release. Check it out below.
