Following the myriad of leaks about the game’s existence, including the one from this morning, Sony has finally confirmed The Last Of Us Remastered for PS4. Shuhei Yoshida confirmed it through his Twitter account, and the blog has just gone live with information pertaining to the new version.

 

The technical upgrades will include higher resolution character models, improved textures as well as shadow and lighting, as well as other changes that have yet to be detailed. There will also be an in game commentary available where Neil Druckmann, Troy Baker, and Ashley Johnson will discuss things about The Last Of Us during the game’s cinematic bits. Box art for the title was also unveiled.

The Remastered edition will include The Left Behind DLC, as well as the Abandoned Territories and Reclaimed Territories map packs. There are pre-order bonuses too which include:

  • 100 Supply Points (XP) for use in Factions mode
  • Two special bonus skins for Joel and Ellie which will be unlocked after your complete the single player campaign
  • Increased Crafting Speed for use in the Single Player Campaign
  • Increased Healing Speed for use in the Single Player Campaign
  • 9mm Reload Speed Increase Upgrade for use in the Single Player Campaign
  • Rifle Clip Capacity Increase Upgrade for use in the Single Player Campaign

And if you pre-order through the PlayStation store you get extra bonuses like early access to Brawler skill, loadout points, and jeep cap & surgical mask for Factions mode. There are no details as to whether there is an upgrade option for those who already own the game on PS3.

Update: Naughty Dog have said they are aiming for 60FPS and multiplayer progress will not be carried forward from the PS3 version of the game.

  1. I have made a chart detailing how surprised I am at this announcement:

  2. I’m all over this.

  3. No point carrying on PS3 for me now. Barely started it so I’ll get PS4 version.

  4. Very cool..! Looking forward to this. And one thing less on my list to catch up with on the PS3… :o)

    • It’s a win-win for me too, being one of the few people yet to buy it due to my backlog. By the time I get round to buying a PS4 this should be nice and cheap as well ;)

      • Was funny, saw you playing the first Bioshock a couple of days back, just when I was. We seem to have to catch up quite some stuff in our backlogs… ;o)

      • Christ… Get a room guys :)

    • I noticed you on it too, compared trophies and seen you’ve done better than me on it. Great game tho.

      Don’t be jealous dave, you can join us if you want ;p

      • Just took a lot more photographs… ;o)
        Yeah, a really good game.
        Next I’ll be on holidays, but after that I’ll probably start Bioshock 2, if you, or anyone else, wants to join… ;o)
        Shall we open an antique section here..? ;o)

    • I haven’t bought Bioshock 2 yet, although did order Infinity a couple of days ago cuz I saw it cheap. I’ll have to check some prices for 2 and get it, I’m tight tho, so it’s gotta be practically free for me to justify adding to the pile ;p

      • To be honest: I got it on Plus for free a while back, that’s why I’ll have a look at it. But Infinite is brilliant, you definitely have to play that one.

    • I’ll get round to playing it eventually, got too many games I haven’t played yet tho and not enough time to get through them. Skyrim keeps pulling back in every few days so that’s not helping, damn game…

      • Please don’t remind me of Skyrim, that’s on my pile for ages, and I’ve not even touched it yet… isn’t life hard sometimes..? ;o)

  5. It would be nice if there was an option to upgrade from the PS3 version but I highly doubt it. Plus I’ve got a feeling I gave my copy away after completing it on survivor mode. I could check butI really can’t be bothered to get off the couch & walk another couple of yards to the shelf.

  6. And now I’ll get round to playing this.. Good news for PS4 owners.

  7. Woo! Will be all over this when it’s out. Played, competed and sold this last year by would love to play it again. Brilliant game!

  8. Best kept secret of 2014!

  9. Roll on summer!!!

  10. I love that box art, much better than the PS3 copy IMO
