The Last of Us Part 2
[ monition : Spoilers for The Last of Us : Part 2 below ]
What will Naughty Dog do to add more playable content to the massive , critically - acclaimed sequelThe Last of Us Part II ? When Naughty Dog came out with its sole narrative DLC forThe Last of Usin the form of the standaloneLeft Behind , they fill out a blank blank in the original level . The game was the equivalent of a pertinent anecdote finally being intimately excuse , uncover greater depth to Ellie ’s drawn graphic symbol and showcasing her own teenage romanticistic awakening — especially how it touch on to her eventual subsister ’s guilt come the end of the principal game . WillThe Last of Us : Part 2players take in the same form of subject ? It does n’t seem probable , but that does n’t think of it ’s not possible .
bequeath Behinddropped about a year after the first game give up , so fan who have finished the25 - 30 hour military campaign forThe Last of Us Part IIprobably should n’t start prepping for an expansion just yet . Of naturally , a separate multiplayer experience has been hinted at ( whether or not this ends up as a straightforward reappearance to theFactions mode inThe Last of Usis presently unknown ) but there is certainly more story left to assure after the credits seethe onThe Last of Us Part II .
concern : Why The Last of Us Part 2 Is Already So Controversial
rooter of the subsequence and critics of its drastic option may have their own inclination , perhaps anticipate a DLC experience that centers on Joel , but it would be full ifThe Last of Us Part IIDLCopts for a different narrative , one that shun the two main characters from the original . At the goal of the day , there subsist an anecdotic story outside of the principal patch of the continuation , which would be Tommy ’s own journey to find Joel ’s sea wolf .
There is plenty odd unsaid about what Tommy gets up to on his crashing quest , though players get a few steer here and there . As Ellie and Dina search through Downtown Seattle , they regularly encounter touch of Tommy ’s mission , be it a used bivouac or the evidence of torture used to extract information from two WLF member . The caustic remark is that Tommy heads out ahead of the heroine in the first one-half of the game with intentions of revenge Joel on his own , but encounter his own trouble with both the Seraphites and the WLF .
When playing through Abby ’s section of the game , player get word that she has her own tearing run - Immigration and Naturalization Service with Tommy prior to the return to the movie dramaturgy , though it ’s dubitable this moment could be effectively package asThe Last of Us 2DLC ; for instance , the fit where Tommy assail at Abby and Manny would have to end in failure , which could prove sticky from a gameplay perspective . However , all the time Tommy spend plunge deep into Seattle would present legion engagements that would be fascinating to see as an untold story , whether it be his own first ambushes with the Seraphites , or peradventure remove violent obstacles which Ellie would otherwise have face herself .
If Tommy gets his own DLC inThe Last of Us 2 , participant could even get a few intersperse flashback detailing the outgrowth of Jackson from a small outpost militia to a bustling post - revelatory village . Just likeThe Last of Us Part II ’s expansive narrative , Tommy ’s DLC could fold his own memory board of growth and hardship in Wyoming with the steps he have to bring Joel ’s killer to justice .
Of of course , this is all a shot in the dark , and the creative theater director for the game has express they have"noplans " for story - found DLC at the moment . While it remain true that some player might prefer getting moreJoel and Ellie , it ’s arguable thatThe Last of Us Part II ’s flashbacks give away substantive exploitation for these role already . Letting the role player in to Tommy ’s interior narrative and expanding on his family relationship with his brother could add new color and detail to the retaliation history they ’ve now go through . And , yes , players could also plausibly get some more flashbacks of Joel as well . RIP .
