The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered will feature 3 ‘Lost Levels’ Sony confirms
Sony has revealed some more information about it The Last of Us part 2 remasteredand has confirmed that players will be able to play three previously released ‘Lost Levels’ when the game launches.
The Lost Levels are playable sequences removed from the original version The Last of Us Part 2 during its development. As a result, they aren’t completely finished yet, but each of them will feature developer commentary to provide further insight into what went into their creation (and the game as a whole).
As revealed on the remaster PlayStation Store page, the three Lost Levels are named as “Sewers, Jackson Party, and Boar Hunt.” We’ve already seen a few in the game’s trailer. One clip shows Ellie walking around a snowy Jackson at night, with lights decorating the trees (seemingly a playable sequence that ties in with the cutscene shown in the final game where Ellie dances with Dina). As for the boar hunt, we also saw a clip of Ellie running with a gun while following a trail of blood that may well be from an invisible level.
More mysterious, however, is the Sewers level, which doesn’t appear to have been shown at all at this point. In the original version of Part 2, Ellie briefly explores a sewer-like location during Seattle Day Two while on her way to the hospital. However, this is a very short section, so it’s not clear if this cut level will take place in the same location or if it will be something completely different. Either way, an extensive, dark, underground section sounds like the stuff of nightmares, so you might want to brace yourself.
The Last of Us part 2 remastered is released exclusively on PS5 on January 19, 2024.
