In an unexpected move, Naughty Dog and PlayStation have stealthily launched The Last of Us Complete for PS5. This comprehensive package brings together the critically acclaimed The Last of Us Part 1 remake and The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered in one ultimate collection for fans of the franchise.

The digital version is already available on the PlayStation Store for $99.99, while the physical Collector's Edition is available for pre-order at $109.99 with a July 10 release date. This premium edition includes exclusive physical collectibles that will delight die-hard fans of the series.

The The Last of Us Complete: Collector's Edition comes packed with premium physical items:

• Steelbook Case: A sleek, durable case featuring iconic artwork
• American Dream Comics: The complete comic series that expands Ellie's backstory
• 4 Lithographic Prints: Stunning art pieces depicting key moments and characters from both games

The lithographs showcase memorable scenes including Joel and Ellie's journey, their horseback ride, and intense moments from Part 2 featuring Abby. These high-quality prints alone might justify the purchase for serious collectors.

This release marks the first time both games are available together in a single PS5 package. The Last of Us Part 1 received a complete visual overhaul for current-gen consoles, while Part 2 Remastered introduced new gameplay modes and enhancements when it launched earlier this year.

The naming of this collection as 'Complete' has sparked speculation among fans. With Naughty Dog currently working on new projects like Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet, and creative director Neil Druckmann's recent comments about The Last of Us Part 3, this might represent the definitive edition of Joel and Ellie's story - at least in game form.

For now, fans can relive the entire emotional journey with both games optimized for PS5, while looking forward to more The Last of Us content through HBO's successful television adaptation, which has already been renewed for a third season.
