The Last Of Us Season 2 Fan Art Adds Isabela Merced's Dina To Iconic Game Scene

As The Last of Us Part 2 strides back in the spotlight thanks to its recently released PlayStation 5 remaster, developer Naughty Dog has announced an arrival date for its previously revealed making-of documentary, which will be available to watch on YouTube and in-game via an impending Remastered patch from Friday, 2nd February.

Last week, we put the spotlight on The Last of Us Part II Remastered using #PSshare #PSBlog. Here are this week’s highlights:

Naughty Dog recently announced that the launch of The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered would be accompanied by a making-of documentary for the acclaimed action-adventure title, in similar vein to the documentary that was released for the first game, and now that the remaster is out, the documentary’s release date has also been confirmed.

Naughty Dog released Grounded to showcase the behind-the-scenes work that went into creating The Last of Us. It was a huge hit and drew back the curtain for players to see what goes into the making of a video game. So, with the launch of the more recent The Last of Us Part II Remastered, it was unveiled that another documentary video was coming. Grounded II: Making The Last of Us Part II will be yet another look at the creation of this game and the efforts Naughty Dog went through to ensure the game had a successful launch.

The Last of Us Part II Remastered arrived last week, and if the cutscene commentary from the game's director, writer and key actors wasn't enough for you, Naughty Dog has another behind the scenes piece coming. Grounded II: Making The Last Of Us Part II, a documentary on the game's creation, will arrive on February 2 at 12PM ET on YouTube as well as in the game itself. There's a trailer in the remastered game currently, and the full documentary will be added via a downloadable patch. That patch will also have some new skins for Ellie and Abby in the main game.

Earlier this month, developer Naughty Dog announced Grounded II: Making The Last of Us Part II would be coming to its recent release, The Last of Us Part II Remastered, in a post-launch update for the game. Now, we know exactly when this behind-the-scenes documentary will be live: February 2. 

With the release of The Last of Us Part II Remastered, gamers are again going through the emotions of playing this title and the incredibly dark story that Naughty Dog presented to them originally on the PS4. Now, with the PS5 version, fans aren’t just getting the most “aesthetically pleasing version” of the game but also getting insight into what made this game what it was. The documentary attached to the new game brought the voice actors into the mix and creative director Neil Druckmann to explain some of the game’s key moments. But the biggest moment that everyone wanted to hear about was the “final battle” between Abby and Ellie.

Naughty Dog has received plenty of criticism of late for the renewed emphasis it’s placed on re-releases, but clearly, those re-releases are paying off for it and Sony. The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered launched last week, and it seems to have got off to a solid start where its sales are concerned, having debuted at No. 3 in the weekly UK physical sales charts.

is deeply narrative-driven, and near-constant dialogue throughout the game results in very fleshed out characters. From old favorites like Joel, to new leads like Abby, has a knack for delivering compelling quotes. The story's stakes are high and the game's characters are incredibly complex. With such a dire post-pandemic world and a cinematic flair, it's unsurprising that is filled with memorable lines.

The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered boasts some pretty good-looking 4K textures, but one player found that the downside of the ultra-high-resolution images is that they've been stuffed with some lorem ipsum details. Although The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered has been subjected to some criticism, this little «issue» is at least on the harmless and funny side.

Naughty Dog's is a devastating tale of parallel protagonists. Its inciting incident is a brutal torture sequence, and the game only spirals into more stomach-turning violence from there on. By the time reaches is unflinchingly bloody finale, it's difficult to feel as though something has actually been accomplished after experiencing a narrative that has only plummeted wildly into chaos. 's core tenet seems to be a warning that violence only begets violence, and the game's focus on insatiable revenge only leaves those involved with traumatic uncertainty.

Sony is seemingly issuing automatic refunds for some PlayStation 5 gamers that purchased The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered for full price when they could have upgraded from the PS4 version for just $10. The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered is just the latest PlayStation exclusive to get the PS5 upgrade treatment. A variety of PS4 games have been given upgrades on the PS5, with some offering free upgrades and others charging players for the boost.
