After the remaster released a few years ago, a remake of The Last of Us could really be there, based on a job posting in Visual Arts
The Last of Us still remains one of the most important works in regards to today the narrative skills of video games. It is a title that, despite being now eight years old, still has an important reputation in the world of video games and by PlayStation fans. After receiving a sequel later and achieving just as much success (along with some background controversy), the game will soon receive a film adaptation with a rather important production behind it.
This goes to show how the first chapter of the series is still more than relevant today among the videogame audience; moreover, a rumor dated in April had brought to the attention of fans the possible start of the realization of a remake of The Last of Us, started first by the small studio of the Visual Arts Service Group, and then passed directly under the control of Naughty Dog.
The position sought in Visual Arts could be for the remake of The Last of Us
Sony is showing quite determined in wanting to re-propose its most successful titles in various formats, including the remake of Demon’s Souls, the Uncharted remaster with Legacy of Thieves and various other rumored games that, however, have not received any confirmation for now. Apparently, the project regarding the remake of The Last of Us had been set in motion during the development of the second chapter, and perhaps this is one of the reasons why we haven’t heard much about it. However, a new job posting on Linkedin reveals that a position as Technical Game Designer at PlayStation Studios Visual Arts is now being sought.
The game you are going to work on, according to the ad description, will implement existing game systems in a new framework, and will enhance existing level scripts for interaction. The presence of hand-to-hand combat and ranged weapons is also denoted. Going to interpret the terms inserted, it is possible to understand how the position in question is relative to the playback of an existing title. There are obviously no official references that report a remake of The Last of Us in progress, but it remains a palpable possibility, given the premises listed in the announcement.
