Naughty Dog Unveils “Chronological Mode” for The Last of Us Part II Remastered

Naughty Dog has just launched a significant free update for The Last of Us Part II Remastered, now available on both PlayStation 5 and PC. This highly anticipated patch introduces a new “Chronological Mode,” allowing players to experience Ellie and Abby’s intertwining narratives in a linear timeline, offering a fresh and unique perspective on the critically acclaimed story.
While the original game’s non-linear structure was a deliberate artistic choice, Naughty Dog designed this new mode to provide deeper insights into character motivations and emotional arcs. Players can now witness events like Ellie receiving her guitar from Joel and her subsequent learning process in a more fluid sequence, and gain a clearer understanding of how close Ellie and Abby’s paths truly came to crossing during their intense journeys through Seattle.
Developing this chronological experience was a complex undertaking, given the original narrative’s meticulous construction. As a bonus for completionists, the update also includes new trophies for players who finish the game in chronological order. Additionally, fans of Naughty Dog’s broader universe will appreciate the inclusion of two new skins for the “No Return” roguelike mode: Joel can now don Nathan Drake’s iconic attire, and Tommy receives a Sam Drake skin, celebrating a fun crossover with the Uncharted series.
