Sony Goes Back to The Beginning With ‘The Last of Us Remastered’ Trailer
In preparation for Naughty Dog’s The Last of Us Part II dropping next year, Sony has put out a new trailer for the original (well, remastered) The Last of Us to serve as a reminder of what went on in the previous game, as well as to remind users that the game is currently free on PS Plus this month.
“Winner of over 200 Game of the Year awards, The Last of Us is genre-defining experience blending survival and action elements to tell a character driven story about a population decimated by a modern plague. Cities are abandoned and being reclaimed by nature. Remaining survivors are killing each other for food, weapons and whatever they can find. Joel, a ruthless survivor, and Ellie, a young teenage girl who’s braver and wiser beyond her years, must work together to survive their journey across what remains of the United States.”
The Last of Us Part II launches exclusively for PlayStation 4 on February 21, 2020.
Techland is once again catering to the fans, announcing a new content initiative for Dying Light 2: Stay Human known as “The Breach”. This new program opens the franchise to fresh experiences, bringing together two kinds of UGC (user-generated content).
In addition to featured maps built in close collaboration between Techland’s developers and selected creators, The Breach includes standout mods “chosen for their bold ideas and fresh takes” that are curated by Techland, and powered by the people who play the game.
“At Techland, we’ve always looked for new ways to innovate, and we see tremendous potential in UGC,” says Rafał Polito, UGC Program Manager. “By providing players with the right framework and tools, we’re enabling them to create and share new experiences within the world of Dying Light 2: Stay Human.”
The Breach is built on three pillars:
-
Curated by Techland. Every chapter is reviewed, selected, and shipped with our studio’s stamp.
-
Powered by fans. Selected creators work directly with our developers, and the wider community shapes the content pool.
-
Always something new. Themed worlds drop on a rolling schedule with new rewards in every chapter.
Patch 1.28 launches the program with its first chapter, Survival Archives. Fan-favorite characters Tolga and Fatin have torn the fabric of the universe, unleashing hand-picked maps that range from co-developed scenarios polished alongside our studio to raw community submissions that take the world in unexpected directions. Players can expect a variety of new gameplay options, including third-person traversal, low-gravity parkour, hardcore survival pockets, and experimental modifiers that “twist the core formula in ways the main game never could.”
The Breach also gives players plenty of reasons to keep coming back. Players earn XP in both the main game and in new maps and modes, so progression carries over wherever you play. Each chapter also brings new weapons and gear to chase.
Patch 1.28 also includes improvements to the core game. The devteam has rebuilt the opening hours to smooth onboarding for new players, and rebalanced the early game – encounters difficulty and early loot accessibility – to get players into the core experience faster. That’s on top of revamping the game’s visuals, including environment elements, cutscene lighting, and overall color balance.
Players can check out the new devblog to learn more about The Breach.
Dying Light 2 is available on PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4, Xbox Series and Xbox One, and PC via Steam and Epic Games Store.
