Sony should announce a new physical edition of The Last of Us in the coming days for PlayStation 5 . The information comes from Insider Billbil-kun, known for anticipating high-rate releases. The news involves a “special version” of the game and should reach stores for $ 109.99 - a value that exceeds $ 600 in the current conversion. The edition will have limited circulation and focus on brand collectors, according to sources close to the project.
Even without official confirmation, the leak host history ensures information credibility. The Last of Us, one of PlayStation Studios' main hits, already has remastered versions for both I and Part II.
Therefore, the expectation is that this new edition will bring something beyond the simple redistribution of the known content. Betting include additional graphic improvements, integration with PS5 Pro and exclusive items packed in a luxury box.
Edition can gather both games for the first time in one package
The possibility of gathering The Last of US Part I and Part II in the same unprecedented physical package has gained strength between fans and analysts. This would be the first time both chapters would be sold together for PlayStation 5, with any bonuses such as soundtrack, exclusive arts and collectible packaging.
The initiative would follow the trend of definitive editions, already adopted by other Sony franchises focused on faithful public. Tactics reinforces the company's position to keep the franchise active even without a new title announced.
In early March, Sony launched a DualSense control with The Last of Us themed design, also in a limited circulation. Thus, the accessory, scheduled to hit stores on April 10, reinforces the company's strategy of serving the niche of fans more engaged and willing to invest in premium -related premium products.
Franchise remains profitable even without new games announced
Although Naughty Dog has not yet confirmed the production of a third game, The Last of Us follows one of Sony's most valuable franchises.
The launch of Part II to PC, scheduled for April, expands the range of the series and reinforces its relevance outside the consoles. In addition, the success of HBO's television adaptation maintains the brand in evidence and makes room for new derived products.
The new physical edition for PS5, therefore, emerges as an extension of this strategy. Sony bets on emotional strength and fan base built over the years to keep the series profitable.
Without depending exclusively on unpublished titles, the company explores new ways to present the existing content, but with added value and strong appeal between collectors. The movement shows that, even in creative pause, The Last of Us remains at the center of industry attention.
