The Last of Us 2Remastered could feature more than a dozen levels in its new roguelike mode.
WhenThe Last of Us 2 Remastered was announcedover the past weekend, one of the big features for the upgrade was No Return. This roguelike mode will let players step into the shoes of new characters for the first time, like Dina and Lev, and focuses on brutal combat gauntlets where if you die, it’s back to the very beginning for you.
Now, aNaughty DogQA tester who worked on No Return has shed a little more light on the mode via theirLinkedInprofile. The QA tester writes that, as part of their role, they “created, implemented, and tested AI dialogue regions in-engine across 12 different No Return roguelike level layouts in The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered.”
Additionally, No Return will apparently feature Tommy, Jesse, Mel, and other characters that we never got to play as in the base game. We’ve already seen the likes of Lev in action in the reveal trailer for No Return, but playable Dina and the rest of the crew is new information.
Speaking of those cut levels,some fans think they’ve already worked out what the Lost Levels are. If these deductions are correct, we could be hunting a boar as Ellie in a new level, and explore more of Jackson before Ellie’s big dance with Dina.
