The Last of Us Might Get a New Special Edition on PS5 – Rumour

Although The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered for PC will be released later this week, it seems that Naughty Dog isn’t finished selling copies of the game to PS5 users just yet. Notably, a well-known leaker named Billbil-kun discussed on Dealabs that Naughty Dog might be planning a new special edition release of the game.

It’s important to mention that the leak doesn’t clarify which game within the series will be included in the upcoming release. Billbil-kun hypothesizes it could be The Last of Us Part 1, The Last of Us Part 2, or perhaps even a combined edition of both games.

Based on what we’ve gathered, it appears that Billbil-kun from Dealabs (translation via Firefox) is hinting at a possible new special edition of a game from The Last of Us series being released physically on PS5. We’re unsure which specific game this could be—is it the first part, the second, a pack of both, or perhaps even a potential third part? Time will reveal the answer to us.

It’s quite doubtful, given the level of secrecy involved, that Naughty Dog has been developing a third game in the series without anyone noticing. The reported price point, allegedly $109.99, suggests this could be a collection of both previous games rather than a standalone title. Additionally, there’s a chance it might be a special edition bundle that includes content from the TV adaptation of “The Last of Us.

It’s been whispered that this exclusive package could be officially revealed within a short period, and it’s likely that pre-orders will kick off around the upcoming two months. This suggests that Sony may unveil it either towards the end of May or the beginning of June. Coincidentally, this timeline aligns with the runtime for season 2 of the TV series based on The Last of Us.

During this time, Naughty Dog, Sony, and their support studios Iron Galaxy and Nixxes are all gearing up for the launch of The Last of Us Part 2 on April 3 for PC. Notably, Naughty Dog recently announced that The Last of Us Part 2 has been verified for the Steam Deck.

In essence, it’s implied that The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered should not only be playable on the Steam Deck but also offer unique features tailored specifically for this handheld gaming device. These may include optimized settings and UI adjustments to accommodate the compact screen size.

The specifications for running the remastered version of “The Last of Us Part 2” have been disclosed, encompassing a variety of hardware options. On the lower end, processors such as Intel’s Core i7-9700K and AMD’s Ryzen 7 3700X are suggested, while more contemporary CPUs like Intel’s Core i7-11700 and AMD’s Ryzen 7 5700X are recommended for a smoother gaming experience.

As a gamer, I can dive into the action knowing that this game is optimized with some nifty PC-exclusive perks. For instance, it boasts super sampling through DLSS 3 and FSR 4, which cranks up the visuals to a whole new level. Plus, it’s got me covered whether I’m playing on a standard ultrawide display or something more exotic like a 21:9, 32:9, or even a mind-blowing 48:9 screen ratio.
