Last of Us Single-Player DLC Revealed

Naughty Dog reveals new details regarding the single player DLC for its PS3 game.

Left Behind, the upcoming single player expansion for the acclaimed PlayStation 3 action game The Last of Us will feature "extremely challenging fights," developer Naughty Dog said today. Developers explained in a new PlayStation Blog video that even though the DLC will place a strong emphasis on exploration and nono combat experiences, the combat players are to encounter will be hard.

"You'll have some extremely challenging fights. In fact, some of those fights will be showcasing some new features that we've added to the combat," lead game designer Jacob Minkoff said.

A new combat feature called the "multi-faction combat," will allow the protagonists Ellie and Riley to force a fight between the two factions without getting involved. This can be done by throwing a bottle near a human, which will attract the attention of the infected.

"With Left Behind, we wanted to make a single-player DLC that was as fully crafted as our main campaign," he said. "There's a great deal that we've done with the DLC that exceeds the level of narrative density that we had in the main campaign."

Left Behind will launch on February 14, and is included in the $20 The Last of Us DLC season pass, or it can be purchased separately.
