Naughty Dog artist suggests working on The Last of Us Part II remaster

Naughty Dog artist Mark Pajarillo updated his social media and mentioned that he was working on a supposed remaster of The Last of Us Part II. Is it true?

Rumors about a remaster of The Last of Us Part II gained momentum this week. Mark Pajarillo, Naughty Dog artist, updated his social media and mentioned that he was working on a new project in the franchise.

According to the LinkedIn description, Pajarillo is responsible for “overseeing the production of all art assets.” This department consists of guidance on aspects of environments, weapons and interactive objects.

In addition to having worked on The Last of Us Part I , the artist would be at the head of his sector in the production of The Last of Us Part II: Remastered. However, further information about the studio's future projects has not been confirmed. Check out the description and image:

Responsible for supervising the production of all outsourced assets for environment arts, weapons and interactive objects for two iconic titles, The Last of Us Part I and The Last of Us 2: Remastered.

The Last of Us Part II artist reinforces previous rumors

It is worth remembering that this is not the first mention of a supposed remaster of the game. In July this year, Gustavo Santaolalla, composer of the soundtrack for the first and second games, suggested the development of a new version of the game , in an interview with a Spanish channel.

So far, nothing has been confirmed by Naughty Dog. Therefore, all information must be treated as rumors.

The Last of Us Part II is available for PS4. The title can be played on PS5 via backwards compatibility.
