Sony reveals The Last of Us DLC and Season Pass details

Sony has revealed information about the Season Pass of the much-awaited survival-action game The Last of Us. According to a blog post on the PlayStation Blog, the Season Pass for The Last of Us will be available for pre-order from tomorrow. Buying the season pass will cost €19.99 and will consist of three DLCs.

For the first time, studio Naughty Dog will be making story-based DLC instead of its usual skins and maps for multiplayer. “The journey and cast of characters in The Last of Us lends itself to thorough narrative exploration and we’ve got more of the story to tell,” says the blog post.

Those who pre-order the Season Pass will get some bonuses for the game on day one. This includes increased crafting speed, increased healing speed, 9mm reload speed upgrade, rifle clip capacity upgrade and Grounded.
