The latest rumors suggest that The Last of Us Remake for PlayStation 5 is rumored to be launching sooner than many anticipated.
The rumors that Naughty Dog’s next game will be a remake of the original Last of Us title are still alive and well, built specifically for the PlayStation 5 to take advantage of the console’s powerful hardware. next system. Naughty Dog and Sony have not confirmed those rumors, but it seems that gamers will know about The Last of Us Remake PS5 information soon in the near future.
Industry insider Jeff Grubb while speaking on the Katherine Funny Gamescast said that he was aware a release date for The Last of Us Remake was scheduled for some time later this year. Grubb points out that The Last of Us 2 is almost two years old at this point, meaning that the Naughty Dog developers have likely had time to prepare for The Last of Us Remake since then. Not only that, but there’s also an upcoming HBO series The Last of Us that should also be noted as evidence that a remake of The Last of Us will be announced soon.
HBO’s The Last of Us TV show won’t premiere until 2023, and so some might think The Last of Us Remake will release next year rather than closer to the show’s release date. . However, the company may have some interest in making sure the game is out and ready to buy by the time the movie comes out. In the podcast, The Witcher was given as an example by Grubb. Even though The Witcher 3 was four years old at the time the Netflix series premiered, the TV show still caused the game’s sales to skyrocket. The same is most likely to happen with the remake of The Last of Us when the HBO show premieres, assuming in that case a hit.
The Last of Us Remake isn’t the only project that Naughty Dog is said to be working on. Naughty Dog is also expected to work on The Last of Us 2’s multiplayer mode, though Grubb is yet to know what that game might look like. There are those who think it will be released as an update to The Last of Us 2, but others think that The Last of Us 2’s multiplayer mode will be a standalone title.
A more recent rumor has suggested that The Last of Us 2’s multiplayer mode will instead be tied to The Last of Us Remake and will include a battle royale mode. This will be a surprising move, but it may be what convinces some gamers considering that the company has remade The Last of Us to re-test and continue the original adventure once again for the future. PlayStation 5.
If The Last of Us Remake comes out this year, it will probably reveal the details in the very near future. Sony has yet to announce its next game showcase, but it will likely be at Summer Game Fest next month.
