A recent The Last of Us Part 1 leak has given fans their "most up to date" look at the game in action.

The leaks have come from @Shpeshal_Nick on Twitter. The XboxEra co-founder shared a series of images and videos which contain everything from cutscene screenshots, combat, gameplay, display options, the new workbenches, the controller set-up screen, accessibility options, and more. 

According to another one of Nick’s tweets, the leak is from "the most up-to-date" build of the game, but it’s unclear whether it’s from the final version or if anything will change between now and release. 

Despite not being confirmed that this is the game's final version, fans have been quick to point out that not much has changed in the upcoming remake, despite the game receiving a complete overhaul. As pointed out in the replies to Nick’s tweets, many fans are disappointed that the new version of The Last of Us won’t have the option for players to go prone, like in The Last of Us 2.  

Previously, fans have questioned whether $70 is too much for a new version of the PS3 title, leading some fans to denounce the game and even prompt a The Last of Us remake dev to deny claims that the remake is "just a cash grab". Regardless of how you feel about the project, there’s no denying that Joel, Ellie, and the rest of the cast (including the Clickers) have never looked better. In fact, some The Last of Us fans can’t stop praising the remake’s new visuals.

In other news, just last week, it was revealed that The Last of Us Part 1 has gone gold, meaning it should be ready to ship ahead of the game’s September 9 release date. Naughty Dog also recently revealed that we’ll be getting new The Last of Us Part 1 gameplay in the coming months. Although the leaks give us a decent idea of what to expect, officially released footage will give us a much more accurate look at the upcoming release. 

Not sure how you feel about the remake? I didn't think we needed a The Last of Us remake until he saw it in motion.

After studying Film Studies and Creative Writing at university, I was lucky enough to land a job as an intern at Player Two PR where I helped to release a number of indie titles. I then got even luckier when I became a Trainee News Writer at GamesRadar+ before being promoted to a fully-fledged News Writer after a year and a half of training.  My expertise lies in Animal Crossing: New Horizons, cozy indies, and The Last of Us, but especially in the Kingdom Hearts series. I'm also known to write about the odd Korean drama for the Entertainment team every now and then.
