Sony Interactive Entertainment and Naughty Dog announced The Last of Us Part II Remastered update 2.0 launches on April 3 for PlayStation 5 alongside the new PC version. The new update brings two new playable characters and four new maps to the “No Return” mode, along with other bonuses.
With the new update, Bill and Marlene from The Last of Us Part I will be playable in The Last of Us Part II Remastered No Return mode. Bill has a “Smuggler” playstyle with access to a custom pump shotgun, double rewards from drops, and resistance against melee attacks. Meanwhile, Marlene is a “Risk Taker” with a custom assault rifle, “All or Nothing” gambits, the ability to reroute her No Return path once per run, and more.
The following four maps will be available in No Return, according to PlayStation Blog:
- Overlook, which is set high above the city of Seattle and features plenty of verticality, is the memorable site of a Seraphites encounter in the campaign
- School is, during the campaign, the abandoned elementary school in which 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
All the new content will be available in the PC version of The Last of Us Part II Remastered on April 3 for Steam and Epic Games Store. The PlayStation 5 version will receive new trophies and additional bug fixes via the free 2.0 update. Players on PC who log into PlayStation Network for The Last of Us Part II Remastered will receive 50 in-game points and a new skin for Ellie featuring Jordan A. Mun’s jacket from Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet, which is currently in development for PlayStation 5.
