The Last of Ushas been getting a lot of attention lately with potential leaks, television theories, Neil Druckmann taking over as head of creative, and now it appearsThe Last of Us Part 2may be getting a remaster. While it may be surprising that a game which released only three years ago would be getting a remastered version, the source of this information is reliable. According to a recent post on Twitter, by user @TCMGGames, the composer ofThe Last of Us and The Last of Us Part 2accidentally let it slip that a “new version” is happening.
The referenced Twitter post says the following:
Gustavo Santaolalla ( composed the music for last of us 1 & 2 ) seems to confirm that there is a Last of Us Part 2 Remastered for PS5

If you’re a fan ofThe Last of Usfranchise, then this is an exciting revelation. Although it may not be more intel on progress toward a third title, it does indicate the PlayStation 5 will have its own version ofThe Last of Us Part 2,with even greater graphics and mechanics. One of the reasons, Naughty Dog may be pushing for a remaster is to ensure that the first and second games are both on the PlayStation 5. If, and hopefully when,The Last of Us Part 3is revealed, all three titles would be available on one PlayStation.

Since the previous installment was only on PlayStation 4, a re-release would bring it to the current generation and allowThe Last of Us Part 2to join the recently released,The Last of Us Part 1remake. As the franchise is ever expanding, it would not be surprising for the creative minds behind the massively successful zombie game to want everything on a singular platform. This would provide more of an opportunity for newcomers of the series to have quick access to all the titles.
The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered Could See a Much Stronger Debut With Fans
If you recall, whenThe Last of Us Part 2released in June 2020, it had an incredible reception with critics. IGN gave it a 10, Game Informer gave it a 10, and it had an aggregate score of 93/100 on Metacritic. However, despite the positive critical response, the sequel to Naughty Dog’s classicThe Last of Ustitle was review bombed by supposed fans. This group of consumers were hateful and fearful of what they have believed was a “woke” liberal agenda wrapped up in the plot. There were negative opinions about LGBTQIA+ characters, the physicality of the character Abby, and a what was called social justice warrior propaganda.

Those who chose to bully, Naughty Dog overThe Last of Us Part 2were wrong to attack the developer for inclusion and diversity. If the game had only been meant as an agenda, it never would have been so successful in sales and critical reception. Despite such an ugly response on the initial release of the game, it may now have a chance to flourish as a remaster.
WhenThe Last of Ussequel came out, it was at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic. People across the globe were trapped inside their homes and stuck wearing masks in public. Now that our world has returned somewhat back to normal, there will hopefully be less of a cabin fever frenzy type hate mob concerning the title. It may see much more support upon re-release, in this new era.
What do you think of a remaster ofThe Last of Us Part 2? Will it receive a more positive response among audiences this time around or will those who trashed the game return for round two?
