A new blog post by PlayStation has broken down all of the accessibility features available in the upcoming remake of The Last of Us: Part 1, which releases for the PlayStation 5 next week.

Naughty Dog is once again proving that their upcoming remake is more than just a reskin of the original 2013 hit, as The Last of Us: Part 1 will provide accessibility options for blind players, deaf players, and players with motor accessibility needs.

Every accessibility option present in The Last of Us Part 2 will be returning, which includes Accessibility Presets for each of the three categories (Vision, Hearing, and Motor). Full controller customization for the PlayStation 5's DualSense controller, in addition to options covering practically every single aspect of gameplay will also be included. HUD size and colors, camera shake and distance, navigation and puzzle aids, in addition to text, audio, and subtitles options, and overall difficulty choices. Every player will be able to enjoy the game in the way they prefer the most.

The most interesting options are related to how these new accessibility choices work with the DualSense controller. According to the new blog post, players will be able to "feel" the dialogue through the haptic feedback option. It means that not only will deaf players be able to read the on-screen subtitles, but they will also enjoy the tone of each line and the impact of its delivery in every single moment. This will not only work for the main characters but even enemy dialogue and also offscreen speakers, along with a variety of other customization options for subtitles.

A trailer was also released to elaborate more on the studio's vision regarding game information and how it should be presented in video games. Game director Matthew Gallant believes that if the information is only present on the screen, then it's not accessible enough. The main problem that Naughty Dog Co-Director Neil Druckmann addresses through this remake is that many people were not able to transition freely from the Last of Us: Part 1 to Part 2 because of these missing accessibility issues, but now this problem has been completely resolved.

A full list of features is available with more than 50 different choices and customization settings. The screen reader creates a glossary for easily identifiable actions and assigns unique sounds to them, and not only that but it adds audio descriptions for cinematics in more than 20 supported languages on launch through working with Descriptive Video Works, one of the leaders in audio descriptive services in North America. The Last of Us: Part 1 pre-orders are also now available for all players around the world.

The Last of Us: Part 1 will release for the PlayStation 5 on September 2nd.
