Priced at $109.99 and available at PlayStation Direct, The Last of Us Complete is described as the definitive way to "experience the complete story that inspired the TV show with definitive versions of two award-winning games." This bundle not only includes the 2022 remake of The Last of Us Part 1 and The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered but also encompasses all the 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, this digital bundle is a perfect entry point into the video game universe that started it all, available for $99.99. In a PlayStation.Blog post, Naughty Dog's Head of Studio, Neil Druckmann, announced the launch of a physical The Last of Us Complete Collector’s Edition, set for release on July 10. Priced at $109.99, this edition is available for pre-order now and includes additional collectibles such as 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, stating, "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 series has been a beloved part of the PlayStation catalog, despite facing criticism for its numerous re-releases and remasters. The journey of Joel and Ellie was first enhanced for the PS4 in 2014, followed by a full remake for the PS5 in 2022. The Last of Us Part 2, which continued Ellie's story, was released in 2020 and remastered 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 consolidates all of Naughty Dog's post-apocalyptic narratives into a single package, marking yet another re-release. While some may question the need for revisiting Joel and Ellie's world, the timing aligns perfectly with the premiere of HBO's The Last of Us Season 2 this Sunday, with Season 3 already greenlit.

For those interested in the future of the series, you can explore why many fans aren't expecting news on The Last of Us Part 3 anytime soon, and how Neil Druckmann and the team behind the show plan to continue the story in the future.
