The Last Of Us PS5 special edition coming soon and it’s very expensive

The Last Of Us is getting a new release, sort of (Credits: © 2023 Home Box Office, Inc. Al) The second season of The Last Of Us TV show is going to start soon and there will be a new video game release, but it’s going to cost you. Regardless of their quality, the one constant amongst all video game adaptations is that there’s never any new games to tie into the film or TV shows. You might get a few online promotions but there was no new Mario game when the film came out and no new Sonic, Borderlands, or Uncharted when they were released. In some cases, there haven’t been any new entries for years and so when the first season of The Last Of Us debuted on HBO all Sony could do was release the, entirely unnecessary, remake The Last Of Us Part 1. That came out just before season 1 and then after that it was The Last Of Us Part 2 Remastered, which leaves nothing for them to do for season 2… except release an expensive collector’s edition featuring both games. Season 2 of the show starts on April 13 and Sony has already announced a limited edition DualSense controller, with little Firefly logos on it, that will be released on April 10. Before that, The Last Of Us Part 2 Remastered will be released for PC on April 3, after having launched on PlayStation 5 in January 2024. Since there’s only two games (the long promised multiplayer spin-off got cancelled over a year ago now) there’s nothing else Sony can do to promote the show… other than release an expensive special edition. The rumour comes from French retail source billbil-kun, who has basically never been wrong. However, all they know for sure in this case, is that a new physical edition of The Last Of Us is happening within the next two months and that it costs €119.99/$109.99 – so probably around £110. They don’t know what the special edition contains but since there’s so few options the obvious guess is both games and some kind of merchandise. £110 seems a little too cheap for a statue, but something along those lines. Maybe a Blu-ray of season 1 of the show? That’s certainly what rumourmonger DetectiveSeeds has suggested, in response to billbil-kun’s initial tweet, and in the absence of any other information it’s hard to imagine it’s not that. Will there ever be a The Last Of Us Part 3? Although their comments on the situation change slightly every time they’re asked, Naughty Dog has insisted there’s no guarantee there’ll ever be a The Last Of Us Part 3. There certainly seems to be no evidence that they’re working on it now, which means it’ll be many years away from now, if it ever happens. Instead, Naughty Dog is working on Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet, which isn’t expected to be released until after next year. There are also rumours of a second new IP but no clue as to when that might be announced or released.
