Naughty Dog creative director Neil Druckmann & game director Bruce Straley did Reddit AMA to answer questions regarding The Last of Us and the future.
Fans asked the team about the first upcoming single player DLC, ending and the next game.
When asked about the DLC for The Last Of Us, Neil Druckmann replied: “News is on the way about the first DLC drop. Should hear about it this month.” Probably the announcement will be at PAX in August.
Also asked whether there will be more story content from the universe that Ellie and Joel live in centering around the two characters, to that he said:
“It’s possible. We’re playing with some ideas, but no direction has been set yet for the next game.”
In the end, Ben Atkins asks a question which is on everyone’s mind, He asked “Was the ending of The Last Of Us controversial?”, to that Druckmann replied:
“Initially, yeah [it was controversial]. [The] ending we ultimately went with didn’t sit well with some members of the team. Once it was more fleshed out, it became an easier sell.
We went through about 3 or 4 ideas before finding the ending that worked best for the story we wanted to tell.”
Naughty Dog will release three DLC packs for game, including two multiplayer pack and one single player. So yeah the first DLC for The Last of Us will be announced at Pax in August or maybe before that.

I’m really hoping it’ll be Single Player DLC first.
It is.
I hope we get to play Ellie some more. I wonder when it will be set? It could be before Ellie met Joel(based on that comics issue).
negative, prequels are dumb and everyone knows how it would end. waste of time imo
Isn’t that essentially saying:
“You should never watch a movie based off a book because that’s a waste of time since you already know how it will end.” ?
Just because you know how it ends doesn’t mean the journey itself wouldn’t be enjoyable. I, for one, would like some more Ellie gameplay.
More Ellie gameplay is preferable, but the gameplay shouldn’t be the prequel honestly.
Well, you’re sure as hell not going to get something that takes place afterwards, lol. They’re saving that for The Last of Us 2.
I’m sure with the single player DLC being an expansion, we’ll get more Ellie gameplay Somewhere in it. I dun see why it has to be the story we already have rather than what we need.
I traded this game in like a stupid fucking idiot. I already miss it
don’t feel bad…wasn’t that great a game…built up way too much
This is one of those games you never trade in. It’s way too good. Same could be said for Bioshock Infinite. I’ll never trade that in either. Just buy another one. You could probably get a used copy and still play online if you activated the online code.
I’m trading my copy in……… Am I crazy? NO! Lol, I have an old shiny brick PS3 and it can’t handle the game. It stops rendering after about 10 minutes of playing. I need to buy the digital copy of the game.
omg dlc ^.^
yeeeeeaaaa
Nobody’s talking about how amazing the multiplayer is, please have some new maps and patches. upgrade crafting and melee weapons, and figure out how to stop the lopsided matchups, fireflies vs. hunters. I’m sure the single player is everyone’s favorite as it does kick ass, but there is truly a Hidden Gem in it’s Multiplayer game. it’s the ANTI-COD!
No it shud be multiplayer of killing zobies with alot of players. like 4-6 player. joel, ellie, tess, sam, bill, and other characters of the game, this will be real fun,,,
Nah, that sounds like a third person cod and cod is dumb. My opinion of course.
i hope so.
I’m not getting what’s “controversial” about the ending. Are they just throwing that word anywhere these days hoping to get some attention?
I think it’s how Joel threw a Molotov at the head surgeon, Shot the nurse in the knees with a shotgun and just beat the crap out of the other guy before picking up Ellie… at least that’s what happened in my game the first time.
I just killer the surgeon with the scapel and then picked up ellie and left
I think they mean was it controversial within Naughty Dog, as in “were all of you on board with the ending that was chosen or did several ND employees want something else?”
what the hell is DLC!! i don’t get any of this
The mixed up matching is what they need to fix. Sure the game plays more on stealth, but I can’t stand being put in a match where people who are level 100 (I have seen the numbers close to 200), holding a higher advantage. Not only that, but the multiplayer’s pretty much been hacked already. There is no way in hell thousands of players have legitimately reached over 500 clan members.
that’s exactly what I meant to write- the mixed up matching is absolutely pathetic. and the cheating is even worse with the hacking. I’m an average joe playing at level 50 and I enjoy real competition, not cheaters who ruin the experience. my max clan size isn’t even 90 and i’ve been playing since early July! I love the teamwork and stealth, those 2 things are required to be successful
a cool DLC is if it centered in different characters and at the end they will meet up with Joel and Ellie then this could also lead up to a part 2 of last of us where they are there.
It would be better if there were alternate endings,along with keeping your weapons on new game plus.
