The Last of Us 2 remaster will be released soon, and according to a member of Naughty Dog, we’re not ready for any of the new features. It promises good things.
We are finally starting the year 2024, and it already promises great outings. We don’t have to wait until February and FF7 Rebirth to see it, since on January 19, we welcome the remaster of The Last of Us 2. The latter will not only improve the graphics of the base game . It will also bring several new features into the mix. And from what we understand, we are not prepared to face any of them. There is reason to be curious.
The Last of Us 2’s roguelite mode will traumatize us
Among the most notable changes in the remaster, we obviously note the roguelite mode called “No Return”. The goal is relatively simple, unlike the objective that you will have to accomplish. The player must survive as long as possible in each game, while choosing different paths that will lead to random encounters. As for the playable characters, there will normally be a total of 10, with for example Abby, Ellie, Mel, Manny or even Yara. There’s plenty to choose from for fans of The Last of Us 2, and it’s always nice to see.
Faced with such a proposition, the players’ mouths watered. But today, the hype reaches its peak with the declaration of Del Walker, senior character artist at Naughty Dog. The latter spoke on X (formerly Twitter), to talk about this famous mode. He explains that he does not recommend it for those who do not have “ with a strong heart “. At least it sets the tone, and he insists that it’s really going to be ” stressful ” for us. For a title like The Last of Us 2, this is not particularly surprising.
I don’t think you’re ready to see how stressful the mode is for The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered. If you are not in the mood, this is not recommended.
A remaster that promises to be rich in new content
For the moment, “No Return” mode has received good media coverage. This is not the case for “Lost Levels” or “Lost Levels” which are much more discreet. As a reminder, these are passages cut from The Last of Us 2 that we will be able to discover in broad daylight. We’ll find three, and one of the only things we know is that they’ll only focus on the sections where we play Ellie. As for Abby, we’ll have to come back later, if it ends up seeing the light of day.
Moreover, know that we already know the sequences concerned by the “Lost Levels”. In order, we have the party in Jackson, the boar hunt, and the sewers. If you’ve played The Last of Us 2, you can have an idea of how it will turn out, except perhaps for the part about the sewers which remains a mystery. We can’t wait to see what happens, but we have to wait a little longer.
