I love how often this gameplay feels so intensely cinematic as I play Ellie in No Return Hunted in the subway station.

The Last of Us Part II" is an emotionally charged, action-adventure game developed by Naughty Dog that continues the story of Ellie and Joel in a post-apocalyptic world. The narrative, set five years after the first game, unfolds in a meticulously crafted, desolate United States overtaken by infected creatures and fractured human communities. This sequel delves deeper into themes of revenge, trauma, and the moral ambiguities of justice. Players experience a complex, character-driven story that challenges their perceptions of right and wrong, told through intense gameplay, engaging exploration, and a groundbreaking narrative structure. The game's stunning visuals, compelling characters, and innovative mechanics further immerse players in its dark and poignant tale of love, loss, and retribution.

What is No Return?
A roguelike survival mode, No Return allows players to choose their own path and test their skills across runs of randomized encounters. Let's dive into how runs work, and what players can expect as they jump into the mode.

Death is permanent in No Return

No Return's randomized combat encounters will bring players to familiar locations from The Last of Us Part II’s campaign, like Jackson, the Channel 13 News Station, and many more. These scenarios will be unfamiliar thanks to unique gameplay differences, like a roster of playable characters with different playstyle traits, unexpected gameplay modifiers, unique objects and more.

But be warned: death is permanent in No Return, so if you fail a run midway, you’ll lose all weapons, items, and upgrades accumulated for that run and begin again with a fresh set of randomized scenarios.

How you progress during any given run isn’t pre-defined. Throughout a run, players will choose between different encounters, which will determine not only the type of gameplay mode, but also what rewards are unlocked, what potential modifiers will be encountered, and more.

In between each combat scenario, you’ll return to a Hideout, where you can prep and choose your next fight via a path laid out on a corkboard in these familiar locations.
