The Last Of Us Future DLC Plans Revealed
Finally Naughty Dog has revealed some of the DLC plans that they have in store for The Last of Us. There will be a total of three DLC drops, all of which will be included with the purchase of the Season Pass for £15.99/$19.99. So if you had plans on purchasing all The Last of Us DLC, it will certainly be worth your while to purchase the season pass.
In total there will be two multiplayer driven DLC packs and one that will add to the singleplayer campaign, personally it’s the later that I can’t wait to play most of all. The first DLC pack is called the ‘Abandoned Territories Map Pack’ and it will release October 15th. The second pack will be story driven and that should release at around December/January time. The third and final DLC pack will also be multiplayer based and should be hitting our digital shelves sometime during early 2014.
Coming straight from the Playstation Blog, below are all the official details straight from Naughty Dog:
Weather the opposing Faction and the random, dynamic dust storm on the Suburbs map. Explore a layered map of an overgrown urban environment with wild giraffes in the background in the Bus Depot map. Stalk around in a dark, eerie, moonlit, environment – the perfect setting for some serious stealth – in the Hometown map. Bookstore features a stacked, bi-level layout adding a highly unique dose of vertical gameplay. Excited yet? These maps will be available October 15.
When we initially talked about the Season Pass we mentioned making our first ever story-driven single player DLC. This is an ambitious story with strong ties into the narrative of The Last of Us. We just wrapped up a long casting process for a new character, and we’re starting our performance capture shoot next week. The single-player DLC is currently planned for release around the December-January timeframe.
Our third Season Pass DLC is multiplayer focused and will arrive in the first half of 2014. We’ll start to reveal more information and a release timeframe as soon as we’ve worked out those details.
To make the wait a little bit easier, we’re adding bonus items to the Season Pass. We have over 60 different head items for your multiplayer character ranging from a Nightmare Mask to a Pigskin Hat that will be free for all Season Pass buyers. These head items will be available a la carte as well, but it’s a tremendous added value for all Season Pass holders.
If you want to lock in all three DLC drops and over 60 head items for your multiplayer character at a deeply discounted price, buy the Season Pass today. You’ll be saving over 75% by purchasing a Season Pass instead of buying all the DLC individually. The Last of Us Season Pass DLC is available now on PlayStation Store or at your local GameStop retailer for only $19.99.
In case you missed it yesterday, Naughty Dog developer Neil Druckmann released a hilarious alternative ending video for The Last of Us, which you can find below. But be warned, this WILL contain spoilers. So if you’re yet to finish the amazing Last of Us campaign, I would strongly advise against watching this video. If you have, then please enjoy.
