The Last of Us 2Remastered will let you play as its very own composer in its dedicated guitar mode.

Naughty Dogkept this one quiet until now. Earlier today, January 11, the developer announced that when The Last of Us 2 Remastered launches next week, you’ll be able to play as none other than composer Gustavo Santaolalla in its dedicated Guitar Free Play mode.

If you’re in the UK and love The Last of Us' soundtrack, then we’ve got great news. Santaolalla is scheduled to perform the score live in person next year on May 4, atLondon’s Southbank Center. Luckily, it looks like there are still tickets left for the performance.

Otherwise though, it looks like we’ll be playing the Guitar Free Play mode as Ellie. There’s no word yet on whether the mode will feature Dina gazing longingly at Ellie as she serenades her, but one can only hope.

The Last of Us 2 Remastered launches next week on January 19, exclusively forPS5. You can check out ourThe Last of Us 2 Remastered previewfor what we made of No Return, the remaster’s roguelike survival mode.
