This is new in the Remastered Edition of The Last of Us 2
The game’s graphics have been improved for the remastered PS5 version and 4K graphics output is now possible in playback fidelity mode. The difference to the PS4 version is minimal, however, as the console was able to upscale the game. So you can’t expect a completely new gaming experience, but fans should still be happy about one or two features.
For example, there is the new roguelike survival mode “No Return”, in which you embark on a survival course with various characters. The exciting thing about this is that the level constellations are constantly diced anew and whoever makes it to the brutal final battle and has risked a lot in the process can win even more resources

The Last of Us Part 2: Storytelling triggers scandal
The Last of Us Part 2 has shown a lot of courage when it comes to storytelling. The unexpected plot has caused a real scandal that has split the fan community into two camps. One reason for this is the highly controversial appearance and plot of the character Abby. Many players were bothered by her masculinity, but what was worse was that she was responsible for the death of a fan favorite.
The character is voiced by actress Laura Bailey and since you can’t attack fictional characters, some angry gamers took their frustrations out on Bailey, showering her with hate comments and even death threats, as Forbes reported.
The furor from back then recently boiled over again when it came to speculation for the Abby cast in the second season of The Last of Us. It has now been confirmed that Kaitlyn Dever will take on the role, and fans fear for the actress’ safety.
