Just when it seemed that The Last of Us had reached its limit in terms of releases, Naughty Dog has thrown its hat into the ring alongside titles like Resident Evil 4, Skyrim, and Rayman 2 (although it’s been a while since we saw one of those ports). Notable leaker Billbil-kun, known for accurately revealing PlayStation Plus game lineups among other leaks, has hinted that a new release in The Last of Us series is on the horizon.
In a post on Dealabs (translated via Google Translate), Billbil-kun stated, “According to our information, a new special edition of a game in The Last of Us franchise is in the works, with a physical release on PS5.”
While the details of this special edition remain somewhat uncertain, the leaker indicated that it will retail for $109.99 / €119.99. This could potentially be a version of one of the games featuring additional content, but speculation suggests it may include both titles (The Last of Us Part 1 and The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered), which aligns with the price point.
However, it seems we won’t have to wait too long before more information surfaces about this enigmatic special edition. Billbil-kun mentioned, “Everything seems to indicate that the officialization of this edition, as well as the opening of pre-orders, would take place very soon, in a time window that we estimate to be within two months.”
Clearly, the upcoming months are pivotal for The Last of Us, particularly with the second season of the TV series set to premiere between April 13 and May 25, 2025. Additionally, this might provide a fitting opportunity to commemorate the five-year anniversary of the second game, which falls on June 19, 2025.
The Last of Us creator Neil Druckmann recently expressed his belief that Joel was justified in his actions at the conclusion of the original game.
