Following its long-awaited official unveiling last week, Naughty Dog has given another glimpse of its The Last of Us Part 1 remake for PS5 and PC, this time showcasing what it calls a “glow up” for supporting character Tess.
During last week’s Summer Game Fest, one of the key arguments Naughty Dog’s Neil Druckmann made for remaking The Last of Us – a game that already got the remaster treatment in 2014 – was that the additional power of modern hardware would enable it to get closer to its “original vision”. Druckmann specifically highlighted the remake’s rebuilt character models and faces as an example, insisting these were able to better reflect the cast’s original performances.
Inevitably, the remake’s character changes have come as something of a shock to fans who’ve grown attached to the original versions over the last nine years, with both Joel and Ellie now sporting more realistic facial makeovers that age them notably. That’s especially true for Naughty Dog’s latest reveal, showcasing the new version of Joel’s friend Tess, a character, played by Annie Wersching, that helps smuggle Ellie out of Boston’s quarantine zone.
