Naughty Dog and PlayStation have surprise-launched The Last of Us Complete for the PS5 platform, further solidifying the franchise’s significant impact on gaming culture. The original title, which garnered critical acclaim and substantial sales, has laid the groundwork for a series that remains vibrant today. The popularity of its HBO adaptation has been noteworthy, with Season 2 debuting on April 13, keeping the buzz alive.
Following the original, Naughty Dog introduced the highly praised Left Behind expansion and launched The Last of Us Part 2 in 2020. This was succeeded by The Last of Us Part 1, a complete remake for PS5, which was followed by The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered, enhancing the sequel for the latest Sony console alongside the introduction of new game modes such as the No Return roguelike mode. While the recent release of The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered for PC might have suggested a lull in new titles, the launch of The Last of Us Complete has taken many by surprise.
Currently, the digital version of The Last of Us Complete is available on the PlayStation Store, retailing for $99.99. This package consolidates The Last of Us Part 1 and The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered, offering fans a comprehensive experience. Enthusiasts preferring a physical edition can pre-order the Collector’s Edition for $109.99. This edition will be officially released on July 10 and includes an array of collectible items such as a steelbook case, The Last of Us: American Dream comic series, and four exquisite lithographic art prints.

The lithographic art prints included in the Collector’s Edition offer striking visuals that are bound to resonate with fans.

The title The Last of Us Complete may raise questions about the future of the beloved franchise among its fans. Neil Druckmann has hinted that a third installment may not be in the cards, and the term “Complete”could suggest the narrative’s closure, leading fans to consider the HBO series as a primary source for new content. Currently, Naughty Dog is reportedly engaged in developing a sci-fi action-adventure game titled Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet for PS5, while rumors indicate that another project could also be on their agenda.
