Naughty Dog’s much-rumoured, but as yet still unannounced, The Last of Us remake for PlayStation 5 will reportedly launch before the end of this year.
Word of a PlayStation 5 remake for The Last of Us first surfaced in April 2021 when Bloomberg reported the project had initially been in the works at Sony’s San Diego-based Visual Arts Service Group before Naughty Dog was asked to take over.
Away from the widely rumoured PS5 remake, Naughty Dog has confirmed its still working on the long-awaited multiplayer component for The Last of Us 2, and the developer is also involved in HBO’s live-action TV adaptation of the series, which is currently aiming to launch next year.
Further evidence of the project’s existence emerged earlier this year, when a member of Naughty Dog’s QA team listed an “unannounced remake” on their resumé – a reference since removed.
