  PlayStation and developer Naughty Dog have revealed The Last of Us Part II Remastered, and it hits PlayStation 5 exclusively on January 19, 2024. It includes all the visual and performance upgrades you'd expect, like 4K resolution and an unlocked frame rate option for TVs that support variable refresh rate, as well as a new roguelike mode and more.\u00a0\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
\u201cThe engrossing campaign returns alongside technological improvements, new modes, and new behind-the-scenes features that will deepen your understanding of Part II\u2019s creation,\u201d a Naughty Dog blog post reads.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Check out what The Last of Us Part II Remastered looks like in the announcement trailer below<\/strong>:\u00a0<\/p>\n
Perhaps the biggest surprise of this remaster is a new mode called No Return. Naughty Dog describes it as a roguelike survival mode \u201cdesigned to let players prove their mettle in randomized encounters\u201d and experience the game\u2019s combat in new ways. It includes various playable characters, too, some of which are playable for the first ever in The Last of Us franchise, and each features unique traits to suit different playstyles, too.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cPlayers will chart their own course on each run, choosing between various stealth and combat encounters that will pit you against a range of enemies, with unique twists that can add new, unexpected factors to any given encounter,\u201d a blog post reads.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Each run gives players the chance to choose the rewards they want, how they want to spec out their character, and more. And the more you play, the more characters and skins you unlock. Plus, you can customize your runs and compete on a global leaderboard as part of a Daily Run, which requires an internet connection.\u00a0<\/p>\n
If you\u2019ve played The Last of Us Part II, you know it features a playable guitar. This remaster fleshes out that feature with a new Free Play mode, \u201c[It will] let you strum the strings across a host of unlockable instruments, use audio FX pedals to modulate your performance, and play as different characters in several in-game locations to customize the mode and feel of your set.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

Another big addition is a new set of Lost Levels, which allows players to experience playable sequences previously cut from the game. Naughty Dog says these aren\u2019t fully finished levels, \u201cbut rather, early-development slices that not only let you see some new glimpses of Part II\u2019s world, but also include embedded developer commentary to give them richer context.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
The entire game\u2019s cutscenes feature newly recorded director\u2019s commentary from director Neil Druckmann, narrative lead Halley Gross, and actors like Troy Baker (Joel), Ashley Johnson (Ellie), and Laura Bailey (Abby).\u00a0<\/p>\n
On the remaster side of things, Naughty Dog says this new version of The Last of Us Part II features \u201cenhanced graphics, including native 4K output in Fidelity Mode, 1440p upscaled to 4K in Performance Mode, an\u00a0Unlocked Framerate option for TVs that support VRR, increased texture resolution, increased Level-of-Detail distances, improved shadow quality, animation sampling rate, and more.\u201d It also features DualSense features like haptic feedback and adaptive trigger integration and additional accessibility options like Descriptive Audio and Speech to Vibration.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The unlockable Speedrun Mode from The Last of Us Part I (the remake) returns in The Last of Us Part II Remastered, too. In this remaster, you can also unlock bonus skins for Ellie, Abby, and their weapons, all usable in the game\u2019s newly enhanced Photo Mode.\u00a0<\/p>\n
