The brand-new No Return mode will come with six bosses to unlock when it arrives on PS5 next month. The bosses and other mode unlocks are part of the first large information drop on the single-player roguelike survival mode, which is one of many new additions to the Remastered version of the game.
Those who make it to the end of a No Return run will encounter one of six successively unlocked boss encounters. These are some of the most memorable enemies from The Last of Us Part II, including the Ratking, who featured in today’s new No Return trailer. Once all six bosses are unlocked, the encounters at the end of further runs will be randomly picked so players never know who they’ll encounter until later.
No Return lets players choose between different paths of randomized encounters across recognizable The Last of Us Part 2 locations like Jackson and the Channel 13 News Station. Each encounter has one of four types of gameplay mode, each of which come with different unlockable rewards:
There are also unique gameplay twists in the form of modifiers, such as enemies dropping pipe bombs when killed, a fog obscuring the map, and invisible enemies. Then there are optional dynamic challenges called Gambits, such as getting headshots or dodging melee attacks.
Each run will have upgradeable weapons and skill trees, but these reset after the run ends or the player dies. There are some permanent unlocks, though, like new skins, Gambits, AI buddies, and playable characters. Ellie and Abby are unlocked at the start of the game, while Dina, Joel, Tommy, Jesse, Lev, Yara, Mel, and Manny can all be unlocked. Each has unique traits that cater to different playstyles.
The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered releases January 19, 2024. No Return will be unlocked from the outset.

The Last of Us multiplayer game has been cancelled. In a blog post, developer Naughty Dog confirmed that the development on the promised online experience within the post-apocalyptic universe, which it was calling ‘The Last of Us Online,' has been stopped. The astonishing news comes just a month after game director Vinit Agarwal assured fans that the project was still happening despite the numerous reported setbacks, including the laying off of 25 employees. One can't simply release a live-service game into the wild and expect it to thrive. It desperately needs post-launch content for years to come, indirectly impacting a studio which is otherwise known for creating memorable single-player narratives.
Naughty Dog has officially announced that it is canceling its highly-anticipated online multiplayer game based in the universe of The Last of Us, claiming that it would need to take more attention away from its single player projects than it wants to.
The Last of Us blew up in popularity when it first launched, so it wasn’t shocking to see a sequel release. However, some fans were a bit surprised that The Last of Us Part II Remastered is already hitting the marketplace. Despite being released just a few years ago, the remastered edition will likely sell quite a few units. Fans who want to dive into this game all over again might be surprised to see Ellie’s last name. It’s not a massive revelation. There have been a few instances in the past that point towards Ellie’s last name being Williams.
The Last of Us season 2 is officially coming out in 2025 – and we have two years to prepare for another emotionally devastating batch of episodes.
