Naughty Dog, the acclaimed studio behind iconic PlayStation titles such as Crash Bandicoot and Uncharted, has once again re-released its critically acclaimed series, The Last of Us, in a new bundle for the PlayStation 5 (PS5). Dubbed The Last of Us Complete, this all-in-one package was announced and launched today, featuring the 2022 remake, The Last of Us Part 1, and The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered.
Out July 10### The Last of Us Complete: Collector’s Edition - PS5
Priced at $109.99 and available at PlayStation Direct, The Last of Us Complete offers players the definitive experience of the series that inspired the popular HBO TV show. "Experience the complete story that inspired the TV show with definitive versions of two award-winning games," the official description states, highlighting the graphical and gameplay enhancements made possible by the PS5.
The bundle includes both mainline stories along with all the bonus content released over the years. This encompasses the Left Behind prequel DLC focused on Ellie, as well as The Last of Us Part 2’s No Return and Lost Levels content. For fans of the HBO series starring Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey who haven't yet explored the original games, the digital version of The Last of Us Complete is available for $99.99.
In a PlayStation.Blog post, Naughty Dog Head of Studio Neil Druckmann announced that a physical The Last of Us Complete Collector’s Edition will be released on July 10 for $109.99, with pre-orders available now. This edition includes additional collectibles such as a Steelbook case, game discs, The Last of Us: American Dreams comics 1 – 4, four lithographic art prints, and a personal thank-you letter from Druckmann.
Druckmann expressed gratitude in his post, stating, "From our entire studio, thank you so much for your incredible support for The Last of Us and Naughty Dog over the years. This is such an exciting moment for both the franchise and our teams. We are so humbled by your personal stories of what the series has meant to you, have marveled at your incredible Photo Mode shots, and inspired to keep pushing ourselves forward to create more stories and worlds you’ll love."
The Last of Us series originally debuted on the PS3 in 2013 and has since become a beloved part of the PlayStation catalog. Despite its popularity, the series' numerous re-releases and remasters have sparked debate among fans and critics. The journey of Joel and Ellie was enhanced for the PS4 in 2014, remade for the PS5 in 2022, and continued with The Last of Us Part 2 in 2020, which received its own remaster in early 2024. Both titles have also been released on PC, with The Last of Us Part 1 arriving in 2023 and The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered just last week.
The Last of Us Complete consolidates all of Naughty Dog’s post-apocalyptic content into a single package, marking yet another re-release. While some may question the need for another revisit to Joel and Ellie’s world, the timing aligns with the premiere of HBO’s The Last of Us Season 2 this Sunday, with Season 3 having been greenlit just yesterday.
