Development has apparently already finished, suggesting it might wait until the next season of the HBO show
While there’s no word on whether a Last of Us 2 release on PC would be based on the remaster of the former PS4 exclusive, it seems extremely likely.The Last of Us Part Iarrived on PC in March of last year, six months after its own remastered re-release of the game formerly known as justThe Last of Uson PS5. That remaster tuned up gameplay elements such as AI and improved visuals for things like lighting, along with adding brand new modes for speedrunning and permadeath. That said, the gap between Part 2’s original release and its remaster was notably shorter, so the leaps in visual improvements and such were a bit less drastic.
The Last of Us Part II’s own remaster came to PS5 at the start of this year - meaning that the wait on a PC release may be down to giving the console version a bit of breathing room, hence the wait despite development supposedly being wrapped. Billbil-kun suggested that Part 2’s PC release might not arrive all the way until next year, launching alongside the second season of theacclaimed live-action HBO adaptation- which will adaptat least part ofthe sequel’s fairly brutal story.
With no official word from Sony just yet - and no sign of The Last of Us duringtheir latest State of Playshowcase - we’ll have to wait and see for now. With so many PlayStation exclusives finding their way to PC, it seems a given that The Last of Us 2 will cross over at some point. Expect toneed to sign in with a PlayStation accountwhen it does, mind.
