The Last of Us: Left Behind is Naughty Dog's first ever single-player DLC. Bruce, Neil, and the rest of the team are getting close to wrapping work on this new campaign, which will meet the quality and gameplay what you've come to expect with The Last of Us, along with a few surprises. She's back! Ashley Johnson reprises her role as Ellie in The Last of Us: Left Behind single-player DLC. Left Behind takes place while Ellie is attending a military boarding school in the Boston quarantine zone, prior to meeting Joel and the events in the main campaign of The Last of Us. In just a few short months since the release of The Last of Us, you have made it clear that Ellie has become one of your favorite characters in games. Today, we're excited to confirm that you play as Ellie throughout the entirety of Left Behind. Joining Ellie on this new adventure is Riley, her best friend and also a mentor of sorts at the military boarding school. Just as The Last of Us focused on the bond between Ellie and Joel, Left Behind explores the bond between Ellie and Riley through a series of events that will forever change both of their lives. Bringing Riley to life through our performance capture process is the talented Yaani King, who we had the pleasure of working with on the DLC. If you just can't wait until the DLC drops to get more of The Last of Us, go out immediately and read the Dark Horse comic series, The Last of Us: American Dreams – which is conveniently available in the recently released paperback collection. I cannot recommend this series enough and it's even more relevant now, as in the comic you will learn more about how Ellie and Riley first became friends, giving you even more insight into Ellie's story in The Last of Us universe. And it's also just plain great! The Last of Us: Left Behind will be releasing in early 2014 – we will announce a specific date as soon as we iron out all the details. The awesome news is that Left Behind is included in the The Last of Us Season Pass, which also includes a ton of multiplayer DLC, and is the best deal you can get for all the DLC content we've planned to release – over 75% worth of savings compared to buying all the DLC separately. If you're only interested in the single-player DLC, you can pre-order it starting November 19 on the PlayStation Store for $14.99. | ||

+ Show Spoiler + Imo the last 25% of the game (from Joel injury) shows how they start to lose their humanity/sanity, imo their only way of redemption would have been to do what Joel couldn't. But Joel has lost it at the end, he refuses to lose another daughter basically, and that makes him become totally irrational and selfish. The very last scene, Ellie explains to him that she's ok to sacrifice herself by finally sharing what's happened to her friends, and he lies to her when it's very out of character. For him it's not about Ellie or the world anymore, it's about finishing his life in a lie with a daughter 2.0. As long as he's happy, he doesn't even care about her, he wants his artificial paradise with his newborn dead daughter. Nice ending at least, it looks like a happy end but it's not a happy end at all, it's a bad ending with no sanity left. A little sad you can't choose the ending by the way, at the very end the game force you to go rescue Ellie when I just wanted the game to end here basically. And not only you rescue her, but you have to kill some civilians doing so. so Joel's descent in hell is complete. | ||

First, they never even ask Ellie if she's ok with the operation, they just start getting ready as soon as she shows up. She's unconscious the entire time she's there. She never gives consent. Second, if you listened to all the audio logs, you'd know that they had found other immune people before, and the operation failed each time. Last, you don't have to kill any civilians. In fact, the only doctor you have to hurt is the one with the knife, and you can just punch him out. You don't have to even touch the nurses, they just cower in the corners. Joel was right. | ||

Just wish there could be a video game that captures the feeling you get from dawn of the dead or 28 days later - not being invincible and being able to gimp your way through hordes of zombies. A game where you really care about every piece of ammo and even killing one zombie is scary and difficult without a gun. Something non-linear that also contains an element of story. Was hoping that this game would be it (from the way it was described to me rather inaccurately I thought it was) but it definitely wasn't :/ | ||

By making the incorrect assumption that new items dropped at a set rate I had a lot of problems on the harder difficulties. If I had known how the drop rate was set I would likely have had a similar experience as you did regarding the difficulty. I played it on the max difficulty it allowed me to, can't remember what it was. Btw I'm not saying I didn't die plenty, it's just I never really felt in danger. The fact that if I died I would restart about 10 seconds away wasn't very threatening (as opposed to, for example, the first Resident Evil games), and the fact that the most effective combat tactic seemed to be running around in circles picking off your opponents with kiting was a bit lame and ruined the atmosphere. The game just didn't seem immersive enough to be honest. Started off promisingly and just kind of fizzled out, much like Metro 2033. | ||
