Naughty Dog confirmed last month that the long-rumored remake of the first “The Last of Us” game is coming later this year. And with less than two months left before its release date, the developer announced that it has officially gone gold.
The studio announced the progress of “The Last of Us Part 1” development in a post on Twitter on Monday. In the video game industry, “going gold” simply means that work on an upcoming game has been completed, and it is generally ready to be published. This means fans looking forward to the remake should not worry about any delays.
Thrilled to announce The Last of Us Part I has gone gold! ?✨

In the announcement post, Naughty Dog thanked its employees and “partners” from the PlayStation Studios group for their work on “The Last of Us Part 1.” The tweet also mentions the remake as part of the franchise’s “growing world.”
Sony announced the “The Last of Us Part 1” remake in June, along with other upcoming projects related to the franchise. Naughty Dog confirmed at the time that it is continuously working on the standalone multiplayer game that will be a follow-up to the first game’s fan-favorite Factions. Some fans also believe that the remake would be a way to hype fans for the upcoming HBO series based on the events in the first game.
While most avid fans of the franchise were happy about the announcement of “The Last of Us Part 1,” other PlayStation players were not too excited about the project. Some have accused Sony of using the game’s remake as just a “cash grab.” Naughty Dog confirmed last month that the remake -- primarily designed for PS5 -- would be available starting at $70.
“It’s just a cash grab”
