Fans of 'The Last of Us' series are in for a treat as the documentary 'Grounded 2: Making of The Last of Us: Part 2' is set to release on January 19, 2023, the same day as 'The Last of Us: Part 2 Remastered' for PlayStation 5. The documentary, which began production in 2016, was paused due to the global pandemic but is now ready to be unveiled on YouTube. The follow-up documentary continues to delve into the development journey much like its predecessor, 'Grounded: The Making of The Last of Us', did for the first game.
'The Last of Us: Part 2 Remastered' on PS5 promises improved visuals with 4K in Fidelity Mode and 1440p upscaled to 4K in Performance Mode, alongside new content such as the 'No Return' mode and 'The Lost Levels.' Players with the original PS4 game can upgrade to the PS5 version for a nominal fee, and can look forward to shorter load times, VRR support for TVs, and enhanced DualSense haptic feedback.
What new features does The Last of Us: Part 2 Remastered include for PS5?
The upgraded PS5 version features 4K resolution support, a new 'No Return' roguelike mode, previously unseen 'Lost Levels', streamlined loading times, DualSense controller haptic feedback, and Variable Refresh Rate (VRR) support for compatible TVs. PS4 owners of the game can upgrade to the PS5 Remastered version for an additional cost.
'The Last of Us: Part 2', released in June 2020, is a narrative-driven action-adventure game developed by Naughty Dog and published by Sony Interactive Entertainment.
