Once more, I find myself astounded! When I had grown accustomed to the idea that The Last of Us saga had concluded its whirlwind of continuous remasters, remakes, and compilations, Naughty Dog surprises me with yet another project.

Exciting news for all collectors! Naughty Dog has unveiled two new offerings, titled ‘The Last of Us Complete’ and ‘The Last of Us Complete: Collector’s Edition.’

As a die-hard fan, I can hardly contain my excitement just a few days before the April 13th premiere of “The Last of Us Season 2” on HBO/MAX! Sony and Naughty Dog are stoking the flames of our passion yet again by offering a special digital bundle, aptly named “The Last of Us Complete.” This package includes both the original masterpiece, “The Last of Us Part I,” and the remastered version of its sequel, “The Last of Us Part II,” all in one thrilling collection. I can’t wait to immerse myself in this post-apocalyptic world once more!

As a fellow gaming enthusiast, I’m thrilled to share that pre-orders for the “Collector’s Edition” are now live! This physical edition comes packed with some fantastic bonuses if you’re looking to maximize your gaming experience. Mark your calendars, because it’s set to drop on July 10th!

Check out the Launch Trailer here:

Unpacking the Collector’s Edition

So, what can you expect from the physical collector’s edition?

  • Steelbook Case with physical discs of The Last of Us Part I and The Last of Us Part II Remastered
  • Left Behind Prequel Chapter
  • The Last of Us: American Dreams Comics #1-#4 with New Cover Art
  • Set of Four Lithographic Art Prints
  • Thank You letter from Neil Druckmann

As soon as I laid eyes on it, I was instantly captivated by the breathtaking cover art. It showcases both young and adult Ellie, with Joel’s shadowy outline subtly interwoven in the negative space between them. This masterpiece is a must-have for any gaming enthusiast who appreciates physical copies of their games.

Of course, the “Left Behind” prequel story set in Part I’s Winter chapter is also included.

Apart from the updated graphic novel collection, you’ll also find four “Lithograph Art Prints” showcasing characters like Ellie, Joel, and Abby. These are at your disposal for personal use.

In conclusion, collectors can anticipate a sincere “Thank You” note from the game’s director, Neil Druckmann. This thoughtful gesture might carry greater meaning for collectors based on their personal connection with the series over the years and serves as recognition for those who consistently go above and beyond in their support of the franchise.

In a recent interview with Variety, Druckmann has clarified some statements about a possible third game in the series, which seems to further solidify the “Complete” edition’s conclusion.

In simple terms, Neil Druckmann, the Game Director at Naughty Dog, seems to suggest that we might not see any more of The Last of Us. He implies this could be the final installment in the series.

It appears that Druckmann might be devoting all his attention to the live-action series and Naughty Dog’s upcoming IP, “Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet,” at the moment. This could imply that fans may have to wait some time before another installment of “The Last of Us” game is released.

Until the next remaster that is.
