Naughty Dog has officially revealed the announcement and trailer for The Last of Us Part II Remastered Edition. It will be available for PlayStation 5 on January 19, 2024, which is quite consistent with recent leaks.
The Remastered Edition of The Last of Us Part 2 will bring many additions. But the biggest of these is the “roguelike survival mode” called No Return. This game mode aims to provide players with a tough gaming experience. As Naughty Dog describes it, it will allow players to “test themselves in random encounters and experience the game’s “combat” in a new experience.
Players can also play The Last of Us Part II as new characters in the Remastered Edition. Players will experience “various stealth and combat encounters pitting them against a range of enemies, with unique twists that can add new, unexpected factors to each encounter.”
In terms of technical improvements, The Last of Us Part II Remastered will offer a native 4K experience in fidelity mode. In performance mode, the game runs at 1440p, upscaled to 4K. It also offers an unlocked frame rate option that works with TVs that support VRR (VIZIO 43-inch M-Series 4K QLED with current VRR support. $269.95 at Amazon).
