Naughty Dog released a remastered version of 2013's The Last of Us for the PlayStation 5 as The Last of Us Part I in 2022. Now a mention of The Last of Us Part II: Remastered has been spotted on the LinkedIn profile of Naughty Dog developer Mark Pajarillo.
"Responsible for overseeing the production of all outsourced environment art assets, weapons and interactive props for two iconic titles The Last of Us: Part One and The Last of Us 2: Remastered," reads the profile via VideoGamesChronicle.
The LinkedIn profile has since been changed to remove mention of a remaster of The Last of Us Part II, which Sony Interactive Entertainment has yet to announce.
This isn't the first time a remaster of The Last of Us Part II has been mentioned. The composer for the game, Gustavo Santaolalla, in July revealed an enhanced version of the game is currently in the works.
Santaolalla said this "new version" of The Last of Us Part II will let players be able to "make [him] play certain songs." He added he was not allowed to reveal any other information.
The Last of Us Part II released for the PlayStation 4 in June 2020. A performance update for the game on PS5 released in May 2021 that allowed players to choose between 60 frames per second or 30 frames per second.

Naughty dog can change their name to remaster dogs by now, if true
You say remaster, I say glorified port.
Remastering 3-year-old games is ridiculous. From a business perspective, I get it. There's a sucker barn every minute, and they will find lots of suckers with this one. But from a gamer's perspective.... Come on! Spending any resources whatsoever on a cash grab like this is taking away for the production of new games, even if they're probably isn't a lot of work involved in remastering a 3-year-old game and porting jt to a successor system.
Sony out here remaking 3 year old games now, lol.
Not sure it's classed as a remake when they'll probably just up the graphical settings and re-release it. This said, still completely pointless.
Doesn't need one. Make a new game already!
Not needed. Performance wasnt ever the issue with this game.
Just give it to me already!
Suprised it took them this long really. Still at this point it seems Naughty Dog will release more remasters/remakes than new games on PS5.
They already made 3 (this one included), no way they are going to release more than 3 new games for PS5 at this point in time.
Probably not. I'm pretty sure they were working on at least two (The Last of Us multiplayer and something else), but it doesn't sound like things are going to hot.
To be fair, I wouldn't say no to the first jak and daxter game getting a ps5 remake
Expect this to hit when the second season of the tv show arrive. I've waited to buy this game until a version upgraded for PS5 was released.
Lol. No where near old enough.
The remaster was inevitable
Inevitable, and coming out next year at this point.
All they could possibly add at this point are marginally improved graphics from how the game performs already on PS5 and some DualSense integration.
I don't think the remaster will have online multiplayer or an extra side story, but both would be nice.
Insomniac on ps5: Spider-Man Miles Morales, Spider-Man Remastered, Spider-Man 2, Ratchet and Clank Rift Apart and Wolverine in the pipeline to which I am looking forward to.
Naughty Dog on ps5: TLoU 1 remake, Factions in the pipeline - something they can keep as far as I am concerned.
What a fall from grace. I sure hope their next sp-game is way better than I expect. But I don't expect much at this point.
This is clearly for PC port so why not also have an updated version on PS5?.
