In a PlayStation.Blog post, Naughty Dog Head of Studio Neil Druckmann announced the launch of a physical The Last of Us Complete Collector’s Edition, set for release on July 10 at $109.99, with pre-orders available now. This edition includes extras such as a Steelbook case, game discs, The Last of Us: American Dreams comics 1 – 4, four lithographic art prints, and a personal thank-you letter from Druckmann.
Druckmann expressed gratitude in his post, stating, "From our entire studio, thank you so much for your incredible support for The Last of Us and Naughty Dog over the years. This is such an exciting moment for both the franchise and our teams. We are so humbled by your personal stories of what the series has meant to you, have marveled at your incredible Photo Mode shots, and inspired to keep pushing ourselves forward to create more stories and worlds you’ll love."
The Last of Us series originally debuted on the PS3 in 2013 and has since become a cherished part of the PlayStation catalog, despite facing criticism over its numerous re-releases and remasters. The journey of Joel and Ellie saw upgrades with a PS4 version in 2014, a PS5 remake in 2022, and The Last of Us Part 2, released in 2020, which was remastered in early 2024. Both titles have also made their way to PC, with The Last of Us Part 1 released in 2023 and The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered just last week.
With The Last of Us Complete, Naughty Dog consolidates all their post-apocalyptic offerings into a single package, marking yet another re-release. This move aligns with the premiere of HBO’s The Last of Us Season 2 this Sunday, following the greenlight of Season 3 announced just yesterday.
