Naughty Dog has unveiled a new Chronological Experience mode for The Last of Us Part 2, allowing players to experience the game's narrative in a linear format. This update, available for free on PC and PlayStation 5, rearranges the storylines to provide a new perspective, but the developers recommend that first-time players stick to the original non-linear experience. The Chronological Experience is designed to offer deeper insights into the characters, such as the connections between Ellie and Abby's journeys. This addition coincides with new PlayStation trophies and some fresh costumes inspired by the Uncharted series, along with various bug fixes and performance enhancements.

What is the Chronological Experience in The Last of Us Part 2?

The Chronological Experience is a new mode that lines up the story of The Last of Us Part 2 in a linear format, allowing players to follow the narrative in a straightforward sequence, contrasting with the game's original non-linear storytelling approach.

The Last of Us Part 2, released in June 2020, is an action-adventure game set in a post-apocalyptic world where players experience intense storytelling and character development. The game has received critical acclaim but sparked debates over its narrative choices, which the new mode aims to clarify. As the franchise expands, Naughty Dog is also working on other projects, including a sci-fi title titled Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet.
