Rumour: Naughty Dog Working on Remaster of ‘The Last of Us Part II’?

Published

Naughty Dog apparently are going back to the well that is The Last of Us once again. This time, rumours are swirling regarding a remaster of The Last of Us Part II, which if you recall, came out just three years ago.

Spotted by Eurogamer, in an interview with Spanish outlet BLENDER, series composer Gustavo Santolalla let slip that a “new edition” of Part II was in the works. Santolalla said that in the “new editions”, you can make his character in the game play certain themes, though he followed that up with “I can’t tell you anything else.”. It wasn’t clear what he meant by “editions”, since in The Last of Us Part I, his banjo-playing character isn’t even in the game.

Things get even more interesting with a now-edited entry on LinkedIn from a developer at Naughty Dog. Users on ResetERA found that a Lead Outsource Artist at Naughty Dog had written that they had done work on something referred to as “The Last of Us 2: Remastered“.

These are obviously just rumours at this point, as the recent The Last of Us Day came and went with no real news from the developer. Furthermore, the multiplayer project for TLOU is still ongoing with no update as to when we’ll be seeing it. Not to mention Naughty Dog recently laid off several employees, which not only flies in the face of something being in development, but also doesn’t bode well for the multiplayer project.

We’ll just have to wait and see if more comes of this.

Survios Announces VR Title ‘Alien: Rogue Incursion’, Coming This Year [Trailer]

Remember back in 2022 when developer Survios had announced that they were teaming up with 20th Century Games to develop a new Alien title? Well seeing as it’s Alien Day, Survios has announced their brand-new VR title, Alien: Rogue Incursion. Coming “Holiday 2024” to the PlayStation VR2, SteamVR, and Quest 3, Rogue Incursion will feature an original story that “fully surrounds players within the terrors of the Alien universe”.

Details on the game are light at the moment, but the official site describes the upcoming title as being “designed by Alien fans for Alien fans”, with Survios aiming to craft a “technically advanced, and frightfully immersive Alien virtual reality game.”

Seeing as Alien: Isolation never got official VR support when it was released, this is obviously a welcome announcement. In the meantime, if you’re keen to experience an Alien game in VR, you can always check out the fan-made mod for Alien: Isolation by Nibre_, which allows both the Steam and Epic Games Store version of Alien: Isolation to be played using the Oculus.

And speaking of Alien: Isolation, as you might expect, it’s got a hefty 80% discount going on at the moment on Steam until May 1. So if you still haven’t grabbed it after all these years, this is as good a time as any.
