Shared on the PlayStation and Naughty Dog blogs, Naughty Dog along with Nixxes have announced a new way to experience the story of The Last of Us Part II.
The new mode is coming via a free update to The Last of Us Part II Remastered on both PC and PlayStation 5.
In the new self-explanatory mode, Chronological, the intense 24+ hour story told in Part II unfolds in chronological order where they hope players “will gain even deeper insight into Part II’s narrative.”
As a nice little bonus, there are new trophies and players who complete the story in chronological order will get some fresh skins:
Yes, that’s right, play as Joel dressed as Nathan Drake and Tommy as Sam Drake in No Return.
Through the new Chronological mode, we believe players will gain even deeper insight into Part II’s narrative. Players will be able to see how Ellie being gifted a guitar flows so neatly into her learning to play, for example, while the journey through Seattle will showcase the fascinating parallels between Ellie and Abby’s crisscrossing journeys. You’ll see just how close they come into running into each other, how their actions impact each other, and more.
It was no small feat to bring The Last of Us Part II’s story chronologically together, given that Part II’s story is so meticulously put together. We’re grateful to the developers both at Naughty Dog and our partners at Nixxes to make the Chronological mode as smooth as possible.
Naughty Dog still recommend new players play the story as originally intended but time will tell as to whether or not the player community agree.
The free update for The Last of Us Part II Remastered is available today.
