UPDATE: Well, it’s official. Try to act surprised. A new PlayStation Blog post confirms the shocking news that The Last of Us Remastered is indeed coming to PlayStation 4, and it’ll be arriving this summer. The re-release bumps the game’s resolution up to 1080p and packs in all previously released DLC; the Left Behind story add-on, the Abandoned Territories map pack, and the as-yet-unreleased Reclaimed Territories pack (details coming soon). There’s also going to be audio commentary on all of the game’s cutscenes from writer and Naughty Dog creative director Neil Druckman and the game’s two voice actor stars, Ashley Johnson and Troy Baker.

Those that pre-order the game get a handful of bonuses as well, for both the single player campaign and the multiplayer mode. You’ll find all the details on that, including participating retailers, right here.

ORIGINAL POST: The rumors appear to be true: The Last of Us Remastered is coming to PlayStation 4 with a $59.99 price tag. Confirmation comes directly from Sony, but in an indirect manner. There’s been no press release or formal announcement about the news, but there is a banner ad for the game on main page of the company’s online store. Clicking it should lead to a pre-order page, but it’s just a dead link at the moment. See the screencap below:

The banner ad says nothing about a release date or included extras; just the price and a “Day 1 Digital” stamp, meaning you’ll be able to download it from the PlayStation Store whenever it comes out (surprise!). Bear in mind, this could be a mistaken listing. Someone designed that banner, but it’s always possible that it’s the work of extra-terrestrial terrorists with a vested interest in misleading the gaming community. It’s equally possible that Sony planned to announce The Last of Us Remastered at PAX East over the weekend, and someone on the Web team just flipped a switch too early. We’d say there’s an even chance of it being either possibility being the truth. (Just joking here, folks… it’s totally the alien menace.)

This isn’t the first time we’ve heard that The Last of Us would be making the journey to PS4. Just last month, a PlayStation Eurasian manager confirmed the port’s existence in a CNN Turk interview. A subsequent official comment from a Sony spokesperson in Europe confirmed nothing, but it didn’t exactly shoot down the news either. “At no time have we announced that The Last of Us is coming to PS4 and therefore, have nothing to say on the subject,” the spokesperson said.

So it looks like The Last of Us Remastered is coming to PS4. Probably. We’ve reached out to Sony for comment and will update this post accordingly when we hear something official.

The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered: No Return tips and tricks for beginners
Tommy in The Last of Us 2 Remastered

The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered's campaign mostly just features visual upgrades over the PlayStation 4 original, but its new No Return mode provides players with a roguelike experience within the same world. This tense and challenging experience requires equal parts patience, strategy, and quick reflexes if you want to survive till the very end. In this guide, we'll share some things you'll want to keep in mind while tackling No Return.
Pick the right character for you
No Return features various characters from The Last of Us Part 2, each sporting unique initial loadouts, upgrade paths, and traits that can make a massive difference in your run. Picking one that suits the way you like to approach combat is extremely important, as certain characters will excel at some encounter types more than others.

For instance, Abby gets instant access to the Melee Upgrade Recipe and heals after killing an enemy with a melee attack, whereas Ellie gains extra supplements and gets immediate access to the Molotov Recipe for burning foes alive. Later, you can even unlock Yara, who will always bring along Lev as a sidekick to help you kill enemies in every encounter, though she sacrifices any other particularly unique extras as a result. As you can see, there's a character for every player, and a bit of trial and error should reveal which one works best for you.

Lev draws a bow in The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered.

It was a sunny spring day in 2020, amid the social isolation of the COVID-19 pandemic, when I beat The Last of Us Part 2. As its long credits rolled, I paced around my small apartment living room, unpacking what had transpired. I adored the sequel’s first two acts and its multifaceted discussion of cyclical violence, but I found myself critical of its California-set finale. It seemed to backtrack on all the nuance of Ellie and Abby’s struggle by introducing a definitively evil faction that I wouldn’t feel bad about shooting with a machine gun. It was a discordant note at the end of a symphony, but I was determined to dig below my surface reading and try to understand what Naughty Dog was going for. It had earned that.

That’s when I was hit by the one moment of the game I’ll never forget. As I was deep in reflection, the credits wrapped up, and a final bit of text splashed on the screen. As a reward for finishing the brutal story, I had unlocked New Game+ mode, which would encourage me to replay it again with all my upgraded guns. The benefit of the doubt I’d given Naughty Dog went out the window; did the studio even understand its own game?
