The Last of Us Part II Could be Getting a PS5 Remaster

The Last of Us Part 2 might be getting a re-release native to PS5,  to go along with the remake of the first game, according to the game’s composer Gustavo Santaolalla who may have accidentally let slip some details.

In a Spanish interview, the interviewer tells Gustavo about how he liked seeing him appear in The Last of Us Part II. The composer replied saying that in the new version, players can actually go up to him and ask him to play certain songs. He then stops and says that he can’t say anything else. The Last of Us Part II hasn't yet released a definitive PS5 version of the game but the PS4 version runs of 60 frames per second on the new console.  Although many fans feel that remastering is unnecessary since the PlayStation 4 remaster works fine on the PlayStation 5.
