A neatThe Last of Usfan edit perfectly connects the two games. If there was ever to be an official release ofThe Last of Usthat combines Part 1 and 2, this would be the perfect way to do it.
Despite what some fans consider to be anunnecessary remakeforThe Last of Us, the game fits perfectly next to itsPart2 counterpart on PS5, now titledThe Last of Us Part 1. Both games now resemble each other more closely in visual fidelity and design, and the PS5 is the best place to playThe Last of Usthanks to the performance upgrade forPart 2. While some gamers may dislike it, one fan has shown what a possible rerelease ofThe Last of Us Part 1and2could look like if they were to be merged into one game.

Reddit User ASKRNK_ posted a video edit that shows how the ending toThe Last of Us Part 1seamlessly transitions into the beginning ofPart 2through clever editing and music to create one ongoing narrative, assuming both games were combined as one story. The title of the video suggests that the Reddit User hopes to one day experience the story ofThe Last of Usin this way, which would certainly inspire many opinions, considering thecontroversy surroundingThe Last of UsPart 1remakeon PS5.
While fans are impressed with the edit, as the masterful way Ellie’s last words are crosscut with the intro to part 2 can’t be ignored, there are others who make the argument for why the cut to black after Ellie’s last words work so well as anending toThe Last of Us Part 1, and that thePart 2time jump that immediately follows might not have the same impact. Fans have also noticed the window in the start menu could be the same window of the room that Joel is seen in with Tommy when cleaning his guitar from the beginning ofPart 2.
The Last of UsHBO seriesis expected to fill in some gaps betweenPart 1and2, which could act as an opportunity to remaster the games a few years down the road in one collection. Naughty Dog has been working on its standaloneThe Last of Usmultiplayer game, too, so it may not be long until gamers hear more about the franchise’s future.
The Last of Us Part 1is available on PS5. A PC version is currently in development.
