New Characters and Maps in No Return Mode

No Return Mode is receiving a major content update with the addition of two new characters—Bill and Marlene from *The Last of Us Part I*. Each brings a unique playstyle designed to challenge both veteran and new players:

• Bill – A “Smuggler” who gains access to a custom pump shotgun via dead drops and receives double rewards from item drops. He’s stronger against melee attacks but cannot dodge.
• Marlene – A “Risk Taker” equipped with a custom assault rifle and special “All or Nothing” gambits. She can reroute her path once per run, offering more strategic flexibility.

Additionally, four brand-new maps are being added to No Return Mode:

• Overlook – Set high above Seattle, this map features vertical gameplay inspired by a Seraphites encounter from the main campaign.
• School – Based on the abandoned elementary school where Ellie and Dina faced off against the W.L.F.
• Streets – Located in the overgrown Hillcrest neighborhood of Seattle.
• Nest – A familiar Infected-infested building previously explored during Abby’s story arc.

This new No Return content—including additional Trophies and bug fixes—will be available day-and-date with the PC release through a free downloadable patch version 2.0.0.

PSN Sign-In Benefits

Aligning with Sony’s revised PlayStation Network policies, *The Last of Us Part II Remastered* on PC includes an optional PSN sign-in. Players who choose to log in gain access to the PlayStation overlay, PSN Trophies, and a bonus reward package featuring:

• 50 in-game points to activate bonus features
• An exclusive skin for Ellie featuring Jordan A. Mun’s jacket from Naughty Dog’s upcoming title *Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet*

PS5 players will also be able to unlock this jacket skin via the same 2.0 update using in-game bonus points.

Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet and The Last of Us Season 2 Tease

Earlier this month, *The Last of Us* director Neil Druckmann provided further insight into *Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet* during a candid interview with *28 Days Later* writer Alex Garland. Druckmann confirmed the game has been in development for approximately four years.

"I joke about this with the team. We made a game, *The Last of Us 2*, we made certain creative decisions that got us a lot of hate. A lot of people love it, but a lot of people hate that game," Druckmann said. "But the joke is like, you know what, let's do something that people won't care as much about — let's make a game about faith and religion."

Set in an alternate historical timeline, *Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet* follows protagonist Jordan A. Mun (voiced by Tati Gabrielle) and explores a deeply rooted religious system that has evolved over centuries.

Meanwhile, fans of HBO’s acclaimed series can look forward to Season 2, which Druckmann and co-showrunner Craig Mazin have confirmed will bring back spores—a controversial omission in Season 1. The stage is set for another gripping chapter in *The Last of Us* universe.
