Skills & Progression | |
N/A | Ability progression is tied to collected Gear pieces and weapon modifications rather than traditional skill trees tied to player XP. Players increase their rank by earning XP, which unlocks access to better gear and weapons from vendors. Resolver weapons and Supremo backpacks provide unique, powerful active abilities and are crafted/upgraded at workbenches using gathered resources like Depleted Uranium. |
public World & Exploration | |
World & Level Design | |
N/A | Yara is the largest Far Cry setting to date, a vast open world featuring diverse environments: jungles, beaches, rural areas, and the urban capital city of Esperanza. The world is divided into main regions, each controlled by a member of Castillo's regime and containing various activities like FND bases (outposts), checkpoints, and treasure hunts. |

Multiplayer Details | |
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. |
Features a two-player online cooperative mode for the main campaign and separate cooperative Special Operations missions accessible from camps. |
extension Editions & DLC | |
Available Editions | |
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. |
Available in Standard, Deluxe, Gold, and Game of the Year Editions. Deluxe includes the Ultimate Pack (cosmetic items). Gold includes the Season Pass (3 villain DLCs and Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon Classic Edition). Game of the Year includes the base game, Season Pass, Ultimate Pack, and the Lost Between Worlds expansion. |
Post-Launch Content / DLC | |
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. |
Post-launch support includes a Season Pass with three major DLCs focused on past Far Cry villains (Vaas: Insanity, Pagan: Control, Joseph: Collapse). A standalone expansion, 'Lost Between Worlds', was also released, adding a new storyline and area. Free updates added Special Operations, crossover missions (e.g., Danny Trejo, Stranger Things, Rambo), New Game Plus, and other features. |

Frequently Asked Questions | |
|
|
build Technical Details | |
Graphics & Visual Fidelity | |
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. |
Utilizes the Dunia 2 engine to render a visually rich open world with dense vegetation, urban environments, dynamic weather, and lighting. Supports DirectX Raytracing for enhanced shadows and reflections on PC. Features detailed character models and animations. |
Audio & Soundtrack | |
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. |
Features an original score composed by Pedro Bromfman. Includes in-game radio stations with a variety of Latin music genres. Sound design emphasizes the environment and dynamic shifts during combat or stealth. |
User Interface (UI/UX) | |
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. |
Standard first-person HUD showing health, ammo, mini-map, and objectives. Includes menus for inventory, map, gear loadouts, crafting, and abilities. Designed to provide essential information without being overly cluttered during intense action. |
Accessibility Options | |
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. |
Includes customizable controls (remapping, aim assist), adjustable difficulty settings, and various subtitle options (size, background). |
