There have been some rumblings that Sony, along with developer Naughty Dog, decided to release its The Last of Us Part 1 remake for the PlayStation 5 (and eventually PC) to monopolise on the upcoming HBO series inspired by the game.
However, PlayStation head Hermen Hulst has made it known that this is not the case. Well, at least, it is not entirely the case.
Chatting to Axios, Hulst stated that the initial 2013 release of The Last of Us was “a little ahead of its time in terms of its creative vision”. Hulst claimed that the limitations of technology at this time meant that Naughty Dog’s ideas ultimately had to be dialled back a notch or two.
