Ahead of this week’s global launch on PS5, gameplay, and character skins from The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered have leaked.
Aside from the visual improvements, The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered will feature the all-new roguelike “No Return” mode in which players pick their path across runs of randomized encounters. We already got an official trailer for this mode, and we now have some gameplay and character skins. The leaks were posted on Reddit overnight, and feature Joel, Lev, the lost level, all Ellie and Abby skins, a fight with the Bloater boss, and more. Commenting on the new “No Return” mode, the leaker said the roguelike mode “is pretty fun”. He/she added, that “there are quite a lot of things that make it like that, the character skills, different enemies, and even bosses. The story doesn’t have anything to do with it though.”
In addition, the leaker had something to say about character gameplay within No Return, mentioning the differences between each character. “Each character starts with a different weapon, skill branch, and craftables; some characters can’t dodge but are harder to stun with melees,”.
He/she added, “I felt quite the difference between some of them like their speed.”
Interesting details for sure, and we can’t wait to get our hands on the Remastered version once is launches later this week on January 19. Those who own the game on PS4 can upgrade to the remastered PS5 version for only $10. As covered some days ago, trophy hunters will be able to collect new trophies are part of the new No Return mode.
We’ve included some additional official information about the No Return mode below:
“In No Return, unique gameplay modifiers can offer new and unexpected challenges as you fight to succeed – and survive – in a host of different encounter types. Play as a variety of characters including never-before-playable characters like Dina, Jesse, Lev, Tommy and more, each with unique traits to offer different playstyles, and unlock skins for them as you progress to use in the mode.”
