Because of this early trailer release from Rockstar, there have been other games that have been overshadowed, as other games also had trailers released on December 5th. One of those games is The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered, from Naughty Dog, which showed us the new roguelike game mode that will be coming with the game upon its release.

So far, The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered trailer has only received 730k views from the general public, whereas the GTA 6 trailer has received over 107 million. This shows how many gamers have been eagerly awaiting GTA 6 and are willing to ignore The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered for it.

Over the years, GTA 6 has been building a large fan base that has had gamers eagerly awaiting any kind of news regarding the game’s release. Finally, gamers have received that information and are blown away by the trailer, even if the release date is 2025.

So far, there isn’t a lot of information regarding GTA 6 and its exact release date, but that hasn’t stopped the game’s fans from re-watching the trailer hundreds of times to try and find any kind of Easter Egg they can to find out some of the little secrets that Rockstar is famous for hiding.

Because of the attention that the GTA 6 trailer has drawn from the gaming community, The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered trailer has sadly been left in the dust. There are many other reasons why this new trailer has been ignored by the gaming community, but the main reason is because the GTA 6 trailer dropped, and clearly gamers cared more about that.

Even though the GTA 6 trailer was a major reason why The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered trailer has had issues, there are a few other reasons as well that have caused the trailer to receive a rather lackluster response from the gaming community.

Due to the GTA 6 trailer releasing early, The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered trailer took a big hit in views.

For those who have been wondering as to why The Last of Us Part 2 is already getting a remastered copy, welcome to the club, as a large majority of the gaming community has also been wondering the same thing.

This is one of the defining factors as to why people are both confused and not interested in the game’s trailer, as many gamers are wondering why there is already a remastered version being developed even though the game has only been out for a couple of years.

The main reason that there is a remastered version of The Last of Us Part 2 is that there will also be a new roguelike game mode that will be released with the game for players to try. This new game mode is the focus of the new trailer that was released on December 5th and shows off the new mode in all its chaotic glory.

However, this new roguelike game mode that will be coming to The Last of Us Part 2 does look like it will be a fun game mode that will allow players to take on ever-growing challenges as any character they want while trying to survive against some of the hardest enemies the game has ever seen.

At the moment, The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered trailer has been left in the dust by the GTA 6 trailer, and this is unlikely to change as the gaming community is still very focused on GTA rather than TLOU, but hopefully Naughty Dog can bring this back sometime in the near future.
