The Last of Us: Release window for reported PS5 remake leaked

If industry insiders are to be believed, a PS5 remake of the original The Last of Us is on its way. While the main game is expected to remain the same, there will be certain upgrades being made to make the game more suitable for the line of next generation consoles.

It has been nearly 8 years since The Last of Us was released on PS3. The game became an immediate success and won over fans and critics alike. The game has since received a sequel, but many new generation console owners wanted to experience the first game in the updated hardware of the PlayStation 5.

Despite no official confirmation, their wishes could come true quite soon, if the rumored news indeed turns out to be true.

PlayStation 5 fans will be able to enjoy The Last of Us sometime this year

Remastering a game for a console that came out 7 years later than the current one is no meager task. The original specifications and system of the game build was made with the system of the PS3 in mind. But that will have to be changed now to match the expectations for the PS5.

Although it could have been expected that the remastered version of the original game would have required a lot of time, it seems that the work is about to come to an end. Fans will likely be able to enjoy the upgraded version on their PS5 in 2022. The exact date is unknown, but given the fact that there has been no official confirmation, it might be near the end of the year when the remaster becomes available.

However, it must be remembered that this is based on speculation and rumors. Several reports have gone in this same direction, which would suggest that the rumors could very well turn out to be true.

Earlier, during the CES 2022 conference, Naughty Dog had some exciting news for fans. Their co-president Neil Druckmann said the studio was dying to share the news of several gaming projects the studio has been working on since finishing up with The Last of Us II.
