You Can Now Play The Last of Us Part II in Chronological Order

by

HBO’s second season of “The Last of Us” followed the original game “The Last of Us Part II” closely by presenting its narrative in a non-sequential way. In both the series and the game, some events were not experienced immediately but instead were revealed later. While some viewers appreciated this approach, others did not. However, regardless of your view on the cordyceps plotline, you’ll soon have the opportunity to experience this heartbreaking story in a chronological order. Naughty Dog has recently released a remastered version of “The Last of Us Part II,” allowing players to play through the game in sequence.

A fresh update for “The Last of Us Part II,” now available for free on both PS5 and PC platforms, allows players to experience the game chronologically. This is a first-time offering for gamers. At the PlayStation Blog, Jonathon Dornbush, Naughty Dog’s Editorial Content Manager, detailed the features this update will bring to fans of the series.

With the introduction of Chronological mode, we anticipate that players will uncover a richer understanding of the storyline in Part II. This mode allows players to observe how events unfold, such as Ellie receiving a guitar leading directly to her learning to play, or the exploration of Seattle revealing intriguing similarities between Ellie and Abby’s interwoven travels. You’ll witness instances where they almost cross paths, understand the effects their actions have on each other, and much more.

Alongside the Chronological update, there are also new trophies added to the game. These trophies become accessible once you’ve completed the storyline in chronological order. Once that’s done, players will be rewarded with two unique skins that feature Joel as Nathan Drake and Tommy as Sam Drake from the “No Return” series. You can use these skins in the survival mode of the “No Return, Part II” Remastered game.

Could the most avid supporters of “The Last of Us Part II” appreciate this sequential playing method? Might it attract those who were previously critical back into the game? There’s no doubt that both groups on either side of the ‘cordyceps’ divide will discover the answer for themselves.
