The Last Of Us Part 2 Remastered – a new way to play (Sony Interactive Entertainment)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The remastered version of The Last Of Us<\/a> Part 2 has a whole new mode, as well as some unexpected new references to Uncharted.<\/p>\n

The Last Of Us Part 2<\/a> celebrated its fifth anniversary last month and there\u2019s still no sign that there will ever be a third entry in the series, despite the ongoing success of the HBO<\/a> show.<\/p>\n

Series creator Neil Druckmann recently quit working on the show<\/a> to focus on video games<\/a>, but while developer Naughty Dog is known to be developing at least two new single-player games, neither of them are thought to be The Last Of Us Part 3<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Given how The Last Of Us Part 2 ends that could easily be it for the story, but there\u2019s always space for spin-offs, and possibly an entirely separate game with all new characters, but for now fans have a new way of experiencing the existing narrative.<\/p>\n

The new update for The Last Of Us Part 2 Remastered<\/a> (so not the original on PlayStation 4) allows you to play through both Ellie and Abby\u2019s stories chronologically, rather than having flashbacks interspersed throughout the story.<\/p>\n

This sort of thing is not uncommon with movies, especially when it comes to unofficial fan edits, but it\u2019s unusual for a video game.<\/p>\n

No one\u2019s suggesting you should play the game like this if it\u2019s your first time, but it does help to clarify things such as how Ellie got her guitar and to create a parallel between Ellie and Abby working their way through Seattle, that isn\u2019t really evident in the original version of the game.<\/p>\n

The update is a substantial one, as Naughty Dog brought in Nixxes, who usually work on PC ports of existing games, to help out and restitch the narrative together.<\/p>\n
