New update lets you play The Last of Us Part II Remastered in chronological order

Fans of The Last of Us Part II will know that its narrative plays out non-linearly, as players zig-zag across Ellie and Abby’s journeys, in terms of both space and time. Today, developer Naughty Dog has released a new update for The Last of Us Part II Remastered on PlayStation 5 that let’s us experience the game as it unfolds chronologically.

The “Chronological Mode”, as it is being called, should allow us to gain new insights into Ellie and Abby’s stories, as well as how their actions affected the other in real time. The new update also brings new unlockable Trophies on PS5, in addition to a couple of Uncharted character outfits for completing the new mode.

The Chronological update goes live today, and you can read more about it over on the PlayStation Blog. This will be a cool way to experience one of my favorite games of all time yet again.
