Skills & Progression | |
Progression is cosmetic and skill-based. Players level up their account and individual heroes to unlock cosmetic rewards. The core gameplay is not based on stat upgrades but on player skill and mastery of each hero's unique abilities. Each hero has a primary fire, several cooldown-based abilities, and a powerful ultimate ability. |

public World & Exploration | |
World & Level Design | |
The game features a variety of arena-style maps designed for 6v6 combat. These are not open worlds but are highly detailed, multi-layered environments based on famous Marvel locations. Examples include Yggsgard (a fusion of Asgard and Yggdrasil), Tokyo 2099, the Royal Palace of Wakanda, and Krakoa. Many maps feature destructible elements that can alter sightlines and cover. |

Multiplayer Details | |
The game is built around 6v6 online multiplayer. It features a casual 'Quick Match' playlist and a ranked 'Competitive' mode. Limited-time event modes are also introduced with seasonal updates. |
A standalone multiplayer game set in The Last of Us universe (reportedly titled 'The Last of Us Online') was in development but was later announced to be canceled or significantly re-evaluated by Naughty Dog. The Last of Us Part II itself is a purely single-player experience. |
extension Editions & DLC | |
Available Editions | |
N/A | Available in Standard Edition, Special Edition (SteelBook, art book), Collector's Edition (Ellie statue, bracelet, art book, lithograph, pins, stickers, digital content), and Ellie Edition (Collector's content + Ellie's backpack replica, soundtrack vinyl). A PS5 remaster, 'The Last of Us Part II Remastered,' was released in January 2024, including graphical enhancements, new modes like 'No Return' (roguelike survival), Guitar Free Play, Lost Levels with developer commentary, and DualSense integration. |
Post-Launch Content / DLC | |
The game follows a seasonal model. Each season introduces new playable heroes, maps, game modes, and a themed Battle Pass with cosmetic rewards. For example, Season 1 introduced the Fantastic Four, and Season 2 introduced Emma Frost and Ultron. |
No major story DLC was released for The Last of Us Part II. The primary post-launch addition was the 'No Return' roguelike survival mode, new skins, and Lost Levels included in 'The Last of Us Part II Remastered'. The original game received updates for difficulty modes (Grounded) and accessibility. |
help_outline FAQ | |
Frequently Asked Questions | |
|
|
build Technical Details | |
Graphics & Visual Fidelity | |
N/A | Powered by an advanced version of Naughty Dog's proprietary engine, The Last of Us Part II is renowned for its groundbreaking graphics, particularly its incredibly detailed character models, lifelike animations (especially facial animations), and meticulously crafted, dense environments. Features advanced lighting, realistic weather effects, and a stunning level of environmental detail and decay. The PS5 Remastered version offers enhanced fidelity, native 4K, and higher framerate options. |
Audio & Soundtrack | |
N/A | Original score composed by Gustavo Santaolalla (returning from Part I) with contributions from Mac Quayle for more intense combat/Abby segments. The music is deeply emotional, often melancholic, featuring acoustic guitar, strings, and ambient textures that perfectly underscore the game's tone. Sound design is incredibly realistic and impactful, crucial for stealth (enemy callouts, footsteps), combat (visceral weapon sounds, infected screeches), and environmental immersion. |
User Interface (UI/UX) | |
N/A | Features an immersive and minimalistic HUD. Health is often indicated by screen effects and character animations rather than a persistent bar (though one can be enabled). Ammo count and equipped items are displayed contextually. Crafting and upgrade menus are accessed through Ellie's/Abby's backpack. Listen Mode highlights enemies through walls. The UI is designed to keep players immersed in the world. |
Accessibility Options | |
N/A | Naughty Dog set a new industry standard for accessibility with Part II, offering over 60 options. These include comprehensive control remapping, extensive subtitle/caption customization, options for visual aids (high contrast mode, screen magnifier, traversal/combat audio cues), navigation and traversal assistance, options to skip puzzles, combat accessibility (invisible while prone, reduced enemy perception/accuracy, auto-pickup), and text-to-speech/speech-to-text features. |
