Naughty Dog has reintroduced fans to the gripping world of The Last of Us with a new all-in-one bundle for the PlayStation 5 (PS5), aptly named The Last of Us Complete. This comprehensive package brings together the critically acclaimed games that have captivated gamers worldwide.

The studio, renowned for its iconic PlayStation titles like Crash Bandicoot and Uncharted, announced and launched this two-pack collection today. The bundle features the 2022 remake, The Last of Us Part 1, and The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered, offering players an enhanced experience on the PS5.

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

Priced at $109.99 and available at PlayStation Direct, the 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," states the official description. The PS5's capabilities have enabled graphical and gameplay improvements that enrich the immersive post-apocalyptic journey.

The Last of Us Complete not only includes the main storylines but also encompasses all bonus content released over the years. This means players can enjoy the Left Behind Ellie-focused prequel DLC, along with The Last of Us Part 2’s No Return and Lost Levels content. For those inspired by the HBO series featuring Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey, this digital bundle is priced at $99.99, providing a comprehensive dive into the game series that started it all.

Neil Druckmann, Head of Studio at Naughty Dog, shared insights on the PlayStation.Blog about the upcoming physical The Last of Us Complete Collector’s Edition. Pre-orders are available now, and the edition includes 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 himself.

Druckmann expressed gratitude in his blog post, saying, "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 since become a cornerstone of the PlayStation catalog, despite facing criticism over its numerous re-releases and remasters. The journey of Joel and Ellie was enhanced for the PS4 in 2014, reimagined for PS5 in 2022, and continued with The Last of Us Part 2 in 2020, which saw its own remaster in early 2024. Both games 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 serves as a comprehensive re-release, uniting all of Naughty Dog's post-apocalyptic offerings. While some might question the need for yet another revisit to Joel and Ellie’s world, the timing aligns perfectly with the premiere of HBO’s The Last of Us Season 2 this Sunday, following the greenlight of Season 3 just yesterday.

For further exploration into The Last of Us, you can delve into discussions about the potential for The Last of Us Part 3, as well as how Druckmann and the team might continue the story in future adaptations.
