Knowing the support we have, our studio continues to see exciting, new avenues to introduce curious audiences and galvanize fans. With those opportunities in mind, let\u2019s talk about the immense future of The Last of Us.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"\">Standalone Multiplayer<\/h2>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1138\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/the-growing-future-of-the-last-of-us.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-365891\" \/><\/figure>\n<p class=\"\">It\u2019s no secret that many of you are not only drawn to The Last of Us\u2019 stories but also the game\u2019s original Factions multiplayer. Since The Last of Us Factions\u2019 release almost a decade ago, dedicated players have been vocal about an expansion upon that offering.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">However, we can finally announce that we\u2019re creating something much larger than a mode. We\u2019re thrilled to share a piece of concept art from our upcoming multiplayer experience, which is an extremely ambitious undertaking. We\u2019re growing our studio significantly to ensure we build this full-scale, standalone game, with its massive scope and immense world, in a way that fans have come to expect from The Last of Us and Naughty Dog.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">We aim to make our newest entry into multiplayer inviting to new players while still a thrilling challenge for more of our seasoned fans. There will be more news to come next year, and we cannot wait to introduce you to the team behind this new experience!<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"\">The Last of Us on HBO<\/h2>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"646\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/the-growing-future-of-the-last-of-us-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-365890\" \/><\/figure>\n<p class=\"\">From the onset, our original vision for The Last of Us\u2019 story was cinematic and character driven, and HBO enthusiastically continued the spirit of that same vision to bring this story to TV screens worldwide. Helmed by Craig Mazin, Creator and Writer of Chernobyl, in tandem with Executive Producer Carolyn Strauss and Neil Druckmann, the incredible cast and crew strove to ensure a faithful retelling of the story and its intricately detailed world.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">In the spirit of collaboration and authenticity, Neil has taken on the roles of Executive Producer and Writer and also directed a full episode. Bringing The Last of Us to life has been a deeply creative collaboration between our studio and HBO.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">The worlds of video games and television continue to overlap as Ashley Johnson and Troy Baker, Ellie and Joel\u2019s in-game actors respectively, join the cast in major roles. We cannot wait to see them on-screen along with new and longtime fans of The Last of Us.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"\">The Last of Us Part I<\/h2>\n<p class=\"\">The Last of Us released almost a decade ago on the PlayStation 3 console, and it\u2019s left an indelible mark on our studio. Joel and Ellie\u2019s story continues to be powerfully evocative with players worldwide, and we\u2019re humbled these characters continue to leave an impression.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">With leaps in technology and hardware that allow us to push the limits of the visual fidelity and interactivity, we\u2019re thrilled to announce this complete remake of The Last of Us, releasing September 2, 2022 for the PlayStation 5 console and in development for PC.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"shortcode shortcode--youtube\">\n<div class=\"youtube-video has-agegate\" data-youtube-id=\"WxjeV10H1F0\" data-title=\"\"> <button class=\"youtube-video__load-button\">  <title><\/title>\t <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Play Video<\/span> <\/button> <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.playstation.com\/content\/themes\/playstation-2018\/images\/placeholder.svg\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/the-growing-future-of-the-last-of-us-21.jpg 120w, https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/the-growing-future-of-the-last-of-us-22.jpg 320w, https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/the-growing-future-of-the-last-of-us-23.jpg 480w, https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/the-growing-future-of-the-last-of-us-24.jpg 640w, https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/the-growing-future-of-the-last-of-us-25.jpg 1280w\" data-sizes=\"\" data-src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/the-growing-future-of-the-last-of-us-23.jpg\" class=\"youtube-video__image-overlay lazy\" alt=\"The Growing Future of The Last of Us\"> <\/p>\n<div class=\"youtube-video__iframe\"><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p class=\"\">We\u2019ve implemented modernized gameplay, improved controls, and expanded accessibility options in this single-player experience to allow even more individuals to enjoy the game. Effects, exploration, and combat have all been enhanced. Leveraging the PS5\u2019s powerful hardware, we also implemented 3D Audio*, haptics, and adaptive triggers. Both returning fans and new players alike will have the opportunity to experience both The Last of Us Part I and its prequel story Left Behind in a whole new way.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">For this rebuild, Neil has passed the directorial baton to Game Director Matthew Gallant and Creative Director Shaun Escayg to bring this project to life. Matthew joined our studio a decade ago to work on The Last of Us and Uncharted 4: A Thief&#8217;s End. He rose to Lead Systems Designer on The Last of Us Part II and co-headed the charge for over 60 accessibility features. Shaun started as Lead Cinematic Animator on The Last of Us and Uncharted 4: A Thief&#8217;s End. Shaun would later go on to become the Creative Director of Uncharted: The Lost Legacy. With their deep creative and technical expertise with the series, they\u2019re the perfect fit to helm this project, and you\u2019ll be hearing even more about The Last of Us Part I from them soon.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-gfycat wp-block-embed-gfycat\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\" style=\"margin-bottom: calc(-18.75% - 10px)\">\n<div style='padding-bottom:calc(56.25% + 44px)'><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-gfycat wp-block-embed-gfycat\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\" style=\"margin-bottom: calc(-18.75% - 10px)\">\n<div style='padding-bottom:calc(56.25% + 44px)'><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-gfycat wp-block-embed-gfycat\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\" style=\"margin-bottom: calc(-18.75% - 10px)\">\n<div style='padding-bottom:calc(56.25% + 44px)'><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p class=\"\">Along with the trailer, we\u2019re also pleased to announce that you may pre-order The Last of Us Part I for PS5 today at 4PM PT**.
