The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered is set to grace PlayStation 5 consoles next month, and fans can also look forward to experiencing three ‘lost levels’ — playable sequences cut from the original game. Speaking about these levels, director Matthew Gallant teased that they’ll help give “a full idea of what could have been.”
In an interview with GamesRadar+, Gallant referred to the lost levels as part of a “smorgasbord” of features — alongside visual improvements and the integration of the DualSense controller’s haptics — that fans may be drawn into experiencing in the remaster. For those unfamiliar, the three lost levels, named Sewers, Jackson Party, and Boar Hunt, are unfinished, pre-alpha sequences that are supplemented with developer commentary in order to explain the development process and thoughts behind their initial creation.
«There's no shocking revelation for anything, but if you really want a full idea of what could have been [...] there's a tonne of what I love about the lost levels, not only are you getting to play them in a pre-alpha state that most players have never played — and I think that might actually be quite revelatory for players to know,» Gallant told GamesRadar+.
Lost levels aside, new and returning The Last of Us Part 2 players can also look forward to the addition of the roguelike survival mode, No Return. It’s now been confirmed that there’ll be 10 playable characters in the new format, including Ellie, Abby, Joel, Tommy, and Dina. On top of that,Part 2’s spookiest and squelchiest boss, the Rat King, will make an appearance in the mode, so prepare yourself for that.

Comments made by Disney's head of gaming, Sean Shoptaw, suggest that the long-awaited Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic remake is still on the way.
Games industry head honchos have all gotten into the same hobby recently: Refusing to say anything about the Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic remake that got revealed at a PlayStation showcase all the way back in September 2021.

Lego Fortnite is big on authenticity. During my recent preview session, the game's developers repeatedly noted how they recreated 10,000 authentic Lego bricks in digital form, using those bricks to then create creatures and characters that are - again - authentic to the guidelines for actual Lego sets. It's effectively impossible for me to judge how well Lego Fortnite can fulfill its ambitions as the 30-minute demo I got ahead of the game's official release offered nowhere near enough time to really poke at its systems, but I came away thrilled by its potential.
