Update: Here’s the debut trailer following hot on the heels of yesterday’s official reveal.
Well, it’s no secret that we have been working night and day at the studio to bring The Last of Us to PS4.
We’re calling it The Last of Us Remastered.
Moving our efforts to the PS4 has allowed us to remaster an already phenomenal looking The Last of Us in 1080p with a list of upgrades including higher resolution character models, improved shadows and lighting, upgraded textures, along with even more improvements. We love setting challenging technical hurdles for us when working on each game – and this is no different. We’ve been working hard on The Last of Us Remastered to release a next-gen evolution worthy of the 200+ Game of the Year awards, not to mention the acclaim and expectations of our fans. We will be revealing more detailed information about the upgrades for the PS4 version in the coming months.
In addition to all the technical updates, we’re also including an exclusive director’s commentary for all in-game cinematics featuring Creative Director and Writer, Neil Druckmann; Voice Actor, Troy Baker, who plays Joel; and BAFTA Award winning Voice Actress, Ashley Johnson, who plays Ellie.
We’ve released a ton of additional content since The Last of Us launched in June 2013, including our first ever single player expansion, Left Behind. We’re happy to say that the major content releases will be included with The Last of Us Remastered:
- Left Behind single player expansion
- Abandoned Territories multiplayer map pack
- Reclaimed Territories pack – details will be coming soon on exactly what is included
Whether you are new to The Last of Us or have played it already on the PS3, we hope you are all looking forward to this release. We are!

Now that we’ve finally gotten the official announcement out of the way, we’ll be keeping you updated regularly about The Last of Us Remastered until it releases Summer 2014.
Is there going to be multiplayer cross play with PS3?
I love and I’ve Platinum all Naughty Dog Games, but please PLEEEAS don’t make pay full price for something that I already did pay for full price and DLC. Do you realize how unfair that is? At very least give us a discount!!
I was actually thinking about finally getting this on PS3 but now I am glad I waited and will just pick it up this summer on PS4. Looking forward to it.
Not too sure about this one… maybe when it’s on sale.
AWESOME!!!
Despite being a huge fan of Naughty Dog, no way in hell I’m paying $60 for 1080p!
ND should be working on The Last of Us 2. How about Uncharted? Time to show something about the game. I’m REALLY worried about the future of the franchise since Amy Hennig and Justin Richmond’s departure.
I played Last of Us last summer and it was a great game. I sold it immediately as I didn’t see the replay value being better than the resale value. Now you are offering a PS4 which is basically a GOTY edition of the PS3 version, taking on some graphical upscaling and effects, and charging $60 for it like its a new game? That isn’t a good deal to the player.
I just bought the FF X and X-2 remaster for $40…that is two 13 year old game with updated graphics and additional content for less than this. That is a good deal…this is a rip off.
So is there going to be more new content added or is it just everything from the PS3 version with enhanced graphics being the only difference?
Much as I like TLOU I’ve done everything it has to offer, and would rather not do it again.
We’re putting a lot of effort into this to make it really a remastered version. We have found that working on the PS4 has allowed us to evolve and upgrade the visuals and a multitude of technical aspects of the game. We love setting challenging technical hurdles at every step – and this is no different.
