Beloved PlayStation exclusive The Last of Us is reportedly getting remade for the PS5, while a sequel to 2019's Day Gone was pitched to Sony by Curve Studio, only was plainly declined.

These two pretty juicy bits of news come thanks to a study from Bloomberg, which claims that a remake of The Last of Us, originally released on the PS3 in 2013, is being worked on at PlayStation Studios under the codename T1X.

The outlet claims that Michael Mumbauer, the founder of a support programmer at Sony, assembled a 30-person team to create a remake of The Last of Us later on opting against remaking the kickoff Uncharted game.

The projection pretty quickly hit turbulence equally the budget spiraled and the squad was instead moved to aid Naughty Dog in the development of The Final of Us Part II, which was at the time entering its final stretch ahead its summer 2020 release.

Subsequently the sequel's successful release, several members of the squad at Naughty Domestic dog were asked to move over to the T1X project and Mumbauer afterwards left the team. Although, piece of work is reportedly still continuing on the remake.

While we can appreciate that The Concluding of Us is something of the jewel in Sony's exclusive games portfolio, information technology does seem rather odd to remake a game that is just seven years old and hardly looks or plays dated at this point.

It's even stranger when you consider The Last of Us was already remastered in 2014 for a PS4 release. Though information technology would be a well-timed remake with the HBO adaption of the game scheduled to enter production this summertime.

Bloomberg also reports that Bend Studios pitched a sequel to its 2019 zombie-activity game Days Gone. Information technology was pitched shortly after the release of the original game, but apparently did not go successfully.

Bend was reportedly moved over to aid on Naughty Dog'due south upcoming titles which include a multiplayer game (believed to be set in The Last of U.s. universe) also the long-rumored next entry in the Uncharted franchise.

The timeline is a little fuzzy simply Bend is now dorsum working on its ain original game, but whether this is a new IP, or maybe newly greenlit Days Gone two, is currently unclear.

While this might all seem similar bang-up news for PS5 players, Bloomberg has been led to understand that there is growing disharmony among several PlayStation development teams. Studio Bend developers are specially not being happy about having their autonomy taken away, instead existence forced into a back up role for Naughty Canis familiaris.

Time will tell if these reports finish up being accurate, but it'southward likely that remake of The Final of Us would go downwardly very well with PlayStation fans (and nosotros'd not say no to a Days Gone sequel either, though it looks unlikely).

Of course, if these projects do testify to be real, and then yous'll need a PS5 to play them. Unfortunately, that's much easier said than washed. Make certain to bookmark our where to purchase a PS5 guide for the latest stock information every bit we get it.
