Priced at $109.99 and available at PlayStation Direct, The Last of Us Complete promises an immersive journey through the post-apocalyptic world that inspired the HBO TV series.

The bundle includes not only the main narratives of both games but also all the additional content released over the years. This encompasses the Left Behind DLC, focusing on Ellie's backstory, as well as The Last of Us Part 2's No Return and Lost Levels content. For fans of the HBO series starring Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey, this digital bundle is available for $99.99, offering a deep dive into the origins of the beloved story.

In a PlayStation.Blog post, Naughty Dog Head of Studio Neil Druckmann shared details about the physical The Last of Us Complete Collector’s Edition, set to launch on July 10 for $109.99. Pre-orders are currently open, and this special edition includes 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, saying, "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 launched on the PS3 in 2013 and has since become a cornerstone of the PlayStation library. Despite its popularity, the series has faced criticism for its multiple re-releases and remasters. The journey of Joel and Ellie was first enhanced for the PS4 in 2014, followed by a full remake for the PS5 in 2022. The Last of Us Part 2, which continued Ellie's saga in 2020, received its own remaster earlier this year. Both games have also been ported to PC, with The Last of Us Part 1 arriving in 2023 and The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered just last week.

The release of The Last of Us Complete aligns with the anticipation surrounding HBO's The Last of Us Season 2, set to premiere its first episode this Sunday. Additionally, Season 3 was greenlit just yesterday, signaling continued interest in the franchise.
