The original from now-distant 2013 debuted on the PlayStation 3, with its Remastered edition arriving on the PlayStation 4 a year later. At Summer Game Fest 2022, we received an announcement for a brand new PlayStation 5 remake of the same game called The Last of Us: Part 1, which brings even bigger changes. This time, the game was worked from the ground up and includes brand new models similar to those from Part 2, as well as a complete rehaul of the environment and some mechanics. In addition to the trailer that showed the new Part 1 in action, we also got the release date – so when is The Last of Us: Part 1 coming out?
