A little over a month after Naughty Dog unveiled The Last of Us Part 1 at the Summer Game Fest, Naughty Dog has confirmed that the upcoming remake of the PlayStation-exclusive hit has “gone gold.” Basically, this means that the game has reached a development milestone where it’s almost 100% guaranteed to come out on its initial release date. In this case, The Last of Us Part 1 will launch on September 2 for the PC and the PlayStation 5. You can also check out the “new” trailer below for The Last of Us Part 1:
Congratulations to the Dogs and our partners @PlayStation who contributed their passion and talent to the growing world of #TheLastofUs! pic.twitter.com/PGd9ezWuZC — Naughty Dog (@Naughty_Dog) July 11, 2022 The Last of Us is one of the most beloved narrative-driven games ever to come out. But, we can’t say the same for its more controversial and very divisive sequel as well as its remake. The Last of Us Part 1 was officially revealed last month by Neil Druckmann and people have not stopped talking about it since. On one hand, The Last of Us Part 1 marks the first time the first-party PlayStation title will be on the PC. On the other hand, fans aren’t happy about the pricing. Naughty Dog is selling The Last of Us Part 1 as if it’s a new PS5 game at $70 and has led some to label the game as a “cash grab.” However, an animator stepped forward to defend The Last of Us remake, describing the game as the “most meticulously built and crafted project that I have ever seen or been a part of in my entire career.” We’ll find out soon enough if The Last of Us Part 1 is worth the high asking price or not in less than two months. Speaking of Naughty Dog, it’s still unclear when Uncharted: Legacy of Thieves Collection will be released on the PC. We are aware that it is part of Sony’s plans for this year, but it is still curious that we got a release date for The Last of Us Part 1 first. Also, you might want to check out our first official glimpse at the main protagonists of HBO’s The Last of Us live-action adaptation.
