The Last of Us looks like it’s going to have quite a busy few years, not only because of the series and the tenth anniversary of the Naughty Dog classic for 2023, but also because according to rumors, the game could arrive at the end of 2022. Read more details here!
At the beginning of the year there were already rumors going around about a remake of The Last of Usthe classic and popular game of naughty dog of 2013. Now, almost in the middle of 2022, the rumors gained more strength and there are people who assure that Sony Y PlayStation they are working to release it by the end of the year. However, the companies involved have not yet made any kind of announcement about it, so take it with a grain of salt and don’t get so excited.
This rumor began to resonate louder when Jeff Grubba journalist who has a history of sharing correct information, was on a recent episode of the podcast of Kinda Funny Games. In it, they talked about games that will arrive this year, others that have been delayed and some that are expected by 2023.
On the podcast, one of the group members mentioned the rumor about the remake of The Last of Uswhat Grubb responded that it will arrive later this year, noting that it will be one of the releases of PlayStation Productions for the 2022 holiday season.”I keep hearing it’s coming out this year. The Last of Us Remake, this vacation. Yes”, assured Grubb. In addition, she added: “I am pretty sure about that“, as naughty dog I wouldn’t have to do much thanks to The Last of Us 2. Because of this, they would improve the game quite quickly.
Yes ok Grubb seems to be confident that it would come out at the end of the year, there is still nothing confirmed, not even from Sony nor of PlayStation nor of naughty dog. So, like all the rumors out there, you have to take it with a grain of salt. But the hopes and illusion of seeing the remake this year are there.
However, the idea that the remake will come out at the end of this year is not at all unreasonable. Let’s remember that The Last of Us He also has a series planned for HBO which is (still) being recorded. The game could serve as a preview for this program, which is expected to arrive in 2023, since filming would end in June 2022.
If the remake does indeed make it to the holidays, sales of the game will obviously grow and attention will be left on naughty dog and the franchise The Last of Us for a while. This would help, when the series is released in hbomax, Many people are aware of the story, not to mention that the sales of the video game would increase again. In short, it would be a well thought out move.
As for the series, there is still almost no official information, neither about the plot nor when in 2023 it could arrive, but it is most likely that it will be focused on the events of the first game. Recall that there are already several actors confirmed for the show: Pedro Pascal (Joel), Bella Ramsey (Ellie), Anna Torv (Tess), Nico Parker (Sarah), Merle Dandridge (Marlene), Gabriel Luna (Tommy), Jeffrey Pierce, Murray Bartlett (Frank), Con O’Neill ( Bill), Storm Reid (Riley), Nick Offermanamong others.
As for the directors, in addition to having Kantemir Balagov directing The Pilot, Jasmila Zbanic Y ali abbassi They will also hold that position. On the other hand, Craig Mazin will work alongside Neil Druckman (writer and creative director of the game) both when writing the script and in production work.
Another thing to keep in mind, as the icing on the cake, is that the original release of The Last of Us will be 10 years old in 2023. This data increases the chances that the remake will arrive to prepare fans for the party, after all this franchise is one of the most successful of PlayStation in recent years.
