The highly anticipated The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered is set to release on PlayStation 5 on January 19, 2024, bringing notable enhancements and new content to the critically acclaimed title. This remaster of the beloved Naughty Dog game is causing a buzz with its reveal of Ellie's official surname in-game, being identified as 'E. Williams' for the first time on a nametag of a space suit in the new trailer for the No Return roguelike mode. While Ellie's surname had previously been confirmed outside of the games, the remaster marks its first in-game appearance, paralleling the late reveal of Joel's surname as 'Miller' in Part 2. The No Return mode will let players tackle waves of enemies across varied maps with a progression system, all in non-canon fun that lets characters like Ellie and Dina don unusual outfits such as the space suit.

The Last of Us Part 2: Remastered isn't just a simple port; it brings significant upgrades for the current-gen console, including improved graphics, DualSense features, three Lost Levels with developer commentary, guitar free play, and more. Far from a cash grab, players who already own the original game on PS4 can upgrade to the PS5 version for $10 and transfer their saved games.
