Naughty Dog’s current-gen re-release of The Last of Us (because bringing it from PlayStation 4 to PlayStation 5 is basically just that…) has impressed audiences with new content.

Fans of The Last of Us are rejoicing after the surprise announcement that the new edition will be getting free DLC, and not just for PC players, but for PlayStation 5 players as well.The Last of Us debuted on PlayStation 3 in June 2013, towards the end of the console’s lifecycle, and became not only one of Naughty Dog’s best titles alongside Uncharted, but also Sony’s flagship title. Then we saw a remaster, a sequel, a remake, and another remaster.The last one arrived in 2024.

It was The Last of Us Part II Remastered for PlayStation 5, and it’s coming to PC soon. To celebrate the upcoming release, Naughty Dog is releasing free DLC for all available platforms.The free DLC comes in the form of Patch 2.0.0, which adds two new characters, four maps, a skin, and trophies to the No Return survival mode, and fans are excited to read the plethora of positive comments on Reddit.

Two new characters are being introduced for the mode – Bill and Marlene from The Last of Us Part I. As with any No Return fighter, these characters offer their own unique playstyles and should give both new and returning fans an exciting new way to test their mettle.Bill is a Smuggler playstyle who can access a custom pump shotgun from dead drops and also receives double rewards from drops.He’s stronger against melee attacks, but can’t dodge.Marlene, meanwhile, has a Risk Taker playstyle that includes a custom assault rifle, all-or-nothing gambits, the ability to reroute her No Return Path once per run, and more.The four new maps added to No Return includeOverlook, set high above the city of Seattle and featuring plenty of verticality, is the memorable location of a Seraphite encounter in the campaign; School is the abandoned elementary school during the campaign where Ellie and Dina face off against the W.L.F.; Streets is set in the overgrown Seattle neighborhood of Hillcrest; Nest will be familiar to players who have played as Abby through an Infected-infested building.

So the reception has been positive.
