Naughty Dog has released a free content update for The Last of Us Part II Remastered, allowing players to experience Ellie and Abby's stories in chronological order on PS5 and PC. This new "Chronological" mode aims to enhance players’ understanding of the game’s narrative by presenting events in a linear fashion instead of the original non-linear storytelling. Players will now be able to follow significant moments, such as Ellie receiving her guitar from Joel, in a more fluid sequence. Alongside gameplay alterations, new trophies have been added, and two new skins inspired by Uncharted will be available for characters in the game's roguelike mode No Return.
