The Last Of Us Season 2 is set to begin filming over the next few days, and in preparation, the entire cast of the show and the show's production crew all recently met up in Canada. It seems as though to potentially celebrate the start of filming and to properly introduce the new faces playing characters such as Dina and Jesse, the crew went out to dinner, and took a lovely group picture to bookmark the occasion.
HBO's The Last of Us casts Kaitlyn Dever as season 2's most important new character
09.01.2024 - 22:40 / pcgamer.com / Craig Mazin / Neil Druckmann / Kaitlyn Dever / Last Of Us
HBO's The Last of Us has finally unveiled its Abby and it's Kaitlyn Dever, the actor known for her roles in Booksmart, No One Will Save You, and that other Naughty Dog game you may have heard of, Uncharted 4.
«Our casting process for season two has been identical to season one: we look for world-class actors who embody the souls of the characters in the source material,» series co-creators Craig Mazin and Neil Druckmann told Variety. «Nothing matters more than talent, and we’re thrilled to have an acclaimed performer like Kaitlyn join Pedro, Bella and the rest of our family.»
Season two of The Last of Us is expected to follow the events of The Last of Us 2, which is set five years after The Last of Us and features Abby in a pivotal role—sorry, no spoilers. How closely it will follow the exact story beats of The Last of Us 2 remains to be seen, however: The narrative of the first season sometimes varied from the story told in the game, perhaps most notably in its examination of the relationship between supporting characters Bill and Frank (for which actor Nick Offerman won an Emmy Award, by the way). Mazin said in March 2023 that the second season will chart a similar course.
«Sometimes it will be different radically, and sometimes it will be [barely] different at all,» Mazin said at the time. «But it's going to be different and it will be its own thing. It won't be exactly like the game. It will be the show that Neil and I want to make.»
HBO described Abby as «a skilled soldier whose black-and-white view of the world is challenged as she seeks vengeance for those she loved,» an apt if somewhat understated summation. But among fans of The Last of Us, the character is divisive. Many, as seen in this Reddit thread, appreciate her as complex, flawed, and ultimately very human, but a small, vocal handful took issue with her physical appearance and behavior—she's a very buff, muscular, take-no-shit woman—as well as her actions in the game. Again, no spoilers, but suffice it to say that she hasn't endeared herself to everyone by the time it's over.
Welcome to the TLoU fam, @KaitlynDever! Stoked to collaborate with you again!

The Last Of Us 2 Remastered Has One New Feature More Games Should Use
is a bit of a misnomer. It certainly ups the visuals from the original 2020 release of, but it also provides a fair amount of new content. The most significant is No Return, a roguelike game mode, but it also includes three Lost Levels, galleries of concept art, new skins for characters and weapons, a developer commentary track for the main game, and a few more odds and ends. Developer commentary piques interest, and its implementation in the campaign is middling, but the Lost Levels, which also include it, are a revelation.

The Last of Us Part 2 almost had a very different ending, according to Remastered commentary
The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered is a strange blend. On one hand, it’s a good excuse to revisit Digital Trends’ 2020 Game of the Year selection. On the other, it’s a bizarre package filled with tone-deaf bonus modes that water down the base game’s own message on cyclical violence. Considering that it’s not as much of a “remaster” as its title implies, I wouldn’t blame most players for skipping it.
