The details were published alongside the announcement trailer on the official website of PlayStation Direct, found by Resetera user modiz.
We learn that the remake is coming for PS5 on September 2, 2022, and it’s also in development for PC. That being said, a release date for PC has not been shared but it’ll come “shortly thereafter.”
The official description also mentioned that a Firefly Edition will include the DLC Left Behind, The Last of Us: American Dreams #1 – #4 comics reprints with new cover art, and early in-game unlocks.
On top of that, it won’t just be a pure remaster, as several gameplay enhancements have been teased. According to Neil Druckmann, it has been “rebuilt from the ground up” and he used the term “remake.”
