Naughty Dog, the renowned studio behind iconic PlayStation titles such as Crash Bandicoot and Uncharted, has once again re-released its critically acclaimed series, The Last of Us. This time, they've bundled both games into a comprehensive package for the PlayStation 5 (PS5) titled The Last of Us Complete. Launched today, this two-pack collection includes the 2022 remake, The Last of Us Part 1, and The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered, allowing players to experience the full saga on the latest console.

The Last of Us Complete: Collector’s Edition - PS5

Priced at $109.99 and available at PlayStation Direct, The Last of Us Complete Collector's Edition is set to launch on July 10. "Experience the complete story that inspired the TV show with definitive versions of two award-winning games," the official description states, emphasizing the graphical and gameplay enhancements made possible by the PS5.

The bundle encompasses both mainline stories along with all bonus content released over the years. This includes the Left Behind DLC, which focuses on Ellie's backstory, 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 delved into the original video games, this digital bundle is available for $99.99.

According to a post on the PlayStation.Blog by Naughty Dog's Head of Studio Neil Druckmann, the physical Collector's Edition includes additional perks such as a Steelbook case, game discs, The Last of Us: American Dreams comics 1 – 4, four lithographic art prints, and a thank-you letter from Druckmann himself. Pre-orders are currently open.

Druckmann's message to fans is heartfelt: "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."

Originally launched on the PS3 in 2013, The Last of Us has maintained its status as a beloved title in the PlayStation library, despite facing criticism for its multiple re-releases and remasters. The journey of Joel and Ellie was enhanced for the PS4 in 2014, and a full remake was released for the PS5 in 2022. The Last of Us Part 2, which continued Ellie's story, was released in 2020 and received its remaster in early 2024. Both titles have also made their way to 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 represents yet another iteration of Naughty Dog's post-apocalyptic saga, coinciding with the upcoming premiere of HBO's The Last of Us Season 2 this Sunday. Additionally, Season 3 has been greenlit just yesterday.
