Naughty Dog to reveal details of first story-centric DLC for The Last of Us this week

While Naughty Dog has released quite a few pieces of DLC for the multiplayer part of The Last of Us, everyone is still waiting to see what the studio does with the game’s single player. According to the host of Spike TV’s GGTV show, Geoff Keighley, the studio is going to show off the first of its single player DLC for The Last of Us later this week during Spike TV’s PlayStation 4 All Access event.

At the demonstration, the studio will finally reveal who the player character for the DLC will be. There have been many theories about this, especially since The Last of Us itself is a self-contained story. Earlier, Naughty Dog’s Community Strategist Eric Monacelli described the game’s story-centric DLC as having an ambitious story with strong ties into the narrative of the main game. The casting process for the characters has apparently just ended and motion capture is going to start. The DLC will hopefully be out by December or January.

Sadly enough, there’s still no information about the third Season Pass DLC, sadly, but it is going to hit PlayStation Network in the first half of 2014. Naughty Dog will be revealing more details as the release date gets closer.

The first part of the Season Pass was a bundle of multiplayer maps called Abandoned Territories. The map pack includes the Suburbs map, the Bus Depot map, the Hometown map and the Bookstore map. The Suburbs map has a dynamic dust storm that can strike at any moment. Bus Depot has a bunch of wild giraffes in the background. Hometown is dark and moonlit with a focus on stealth. Bookstore adds some verticality to the fighting with a bi-level layout.

The Last of Us is a PlayStation 3-exclusive title and costs Rs 2,999. It is available through both retail channels as well as digitally through the PlayStation Store. Check out our review.
