The Last Of Us Part 2 Composer Hints At Re-Release

According to the game's soundtrack composer, The Last of Us Part II is getting a re-release. He claims that he has a cameo in the game that'll allow players to have him play themes.

In an interview with Blender, composer Gustavo Santaolalla said, "In the new editions, you can make me play certain themes and well, I can't tell you anything else." Santaolalla's cameo already exists in The Last of Us Part II as Gustavo, and he is an outbreak survivor who lives in Jackson, Mississippi. His cameo character plays the banjo, and it seems like in the new editions of the game, players will be able to ask him to play songs from the game's soundtrack.

Naughty Dog has yet to make an official announcement about this. However, Naughty Dog launched The Last of Us Part 1 last year for PlayStation 5 and PC, so it's possible that the studio could release a new version of The Last of Us Part II for those same platforms. The game was first launched in June 2020 for PlayStation 4. It received a 60fps patch for PlayStation 5 back in 2021.

In GameSpot's spoiler-free The Last of Us Part II review, we said, "It's all messy and bleak and made me profoundly sad for myriad reasons, but the more I reflect on it, the more I appreciate the story and characters at its core. I wanted almost none of it to happen the way it did, and that's what's both beautiful and devastating about it."
