An “unannounced remake project” has been listed by a Naughty Dog worker’s resume.
Earlier today, it was noted that a Naughty Dog-affiliated quality assurance tester had indicated an “unannounced remake project” as under development at the studio via their LinkedIn resume. As you can see from the screenshot below, there is no time frame for how long the remake project has been under development, but it is pretty concrete proof that the project exists.
As many have noticed, this could very well be the unannounced remake of The Last of Us. A report first stated that the remake of the 2013 game was under development last year in 2021, revealing that although the development had originally started at another Sony support studio, it was later moved internally to development at the original studio Naughty Dog .
Since the first report, the alleged Last of Us remake has been mentioned several times. A remake project was featured in a PlayStation job posting last year in December 2021, and an animator at the aforementioned support studio recently tweeted that PlayStation has some “bangers” coming out later in the year. In fact, another report earlier this year claimed that the remake would actually be launched later in the year in 2022.
Elsewhere, the TV show The Last of Us is booming in production, with various set footage and videos being filmed around filming locations in Canada over the past few months. Star Pedro Pascal, who plays Joel in the adaptation, recently compared the TV show to The Mandalorian, saying both are in “good hands.” Right now, the TV adaptation is not scheduled to launch until next year in 2023, which may actually end up being after the remake of the original game.
Meanwhile rumble off The Last of Us 2s multiplayer mode continue with developer Naughty Dog.
