Insights on the Leaked Special Edition
The series has previously seen a variety of remakes and ports, yet Naughty Dog seems poised to unveil yet another version. While fans are eagerly requesting The Last of Us: Part 3, the focus appears to be shifting to this new Special Edition. According to trusted leaker billbil-kun, as shared on Dealabs, the Special Edition is reportedly under development, with a physical release slated for the PlayStation 5. Currently, details about the package contents are minimal, leaving fans speculating whether it will consolidate The Last of Us: Part 1 and Part 2 or feature a standalone title.
At this time, a release date for the Special Edition has not been announced. However, billbil-kun speculates that pre-orders will become available shortly, with a potential reveal happening within the next couple of months. While neither Naughty Dog nor Sony has formally confirmed these details, they coincide with the upcoming second season of The Last of Us, which premieres its first episode on April 13. With the season concluding by the end of May, it’s conceivable that Sony may leverage the series’ momentum to announce the Special Edition during this period.
As fans clamor for a new installment, they may need to temper their expectations regarding The Last of Us: Part 3. Neil Druckmann, the series creator, has expressed ambivalence about a third game, suggesting that the narrative was adequately concluded with Part 2. Nevertheless, Naughty Dog is actively working on a new IP titled Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet for PlayStation 5. This upcoming title, announced earlier this year, follows a bounty hunter stranded on a remote planet named Sempiria. The release date for this new adventure remains unspecified.
