The remake released today introduces a notable change that caught the attention of players. The Last of Us: Part 1, which reimagines the original game for modern hardware, includes a character addition that was not present in the 2013 release. The newcomer is a familiar face from The Last of Us Part 2, sparking conversations among fans about narrative choices and character interactions.
In the Autumn chapter, as the group reaches the hydroelectric plant, Tommy, who is Joel’s brother, appears. In this updated version, Seth is also shown at this moment. For players who experienced the sequel, Seth is recognized as the same character involved in tension with Ellie over a kiss with Dina. This addition has prompted discussion among fans who felt differently about the character’s portrayal compared to the original game.

Players should note that The Last of Us: Part 1 is currently exclusive to PlayStation 5, with a planned PC release in the future. The reception from critics has been very positive, though some observers feel the remake’s take is not as strong as the 2013 original in certain aspects of its presentation and pacing.
An additional point of interest concerns a late-game difference that some have flagged as significant. This variance touches the ending and has led to spoiler-heavy discussions in related coverage. The initial production for this project was noted in coverage within the region, underscoring global interest in updated interpretations of the classic title.
