ORIGINAL STORY:

The rumor regarding The Last of Us coming to the PlayStation 4 appears to be true.

A banner ad appeared on the Sony Entertainment Network Online Store early this morning revealing that The Last of Us: Remastered will cost $60.  After clicking on the link however, it goes to a “page not found”.

This all but confirms the rumors started last month by PlayStation’s Eurasian Software Market Manager, Sercan Sulun.  However, there is still no word on a release date or if it will actually include the DLC.

My Opinion:

Just about everyone expected this to happen.  It is hard to imagine the (arguably) best game on the PlayStation 3 not coming to the PlayStation 4.  I will be one of the many buying a second copy of The Last of Us; it is time to go pre-order it!  The Last of Us is not only my favorite PS3 game, but my favorite game ever.
