Naughty Dog hinted that the single player campaign for The Last of Us won’t be short.
During a video interview with EvolveEnt, Naughty Dog‘s Community Strategist, Arne Meyer said, “We’re definitely looking at more than 12 hours, maybe 12 to 16 right now is what we’re looking at.
It really depends on how you play. You can play a little bit slower if you try to approach situations stealthy, if you really wanna explore the environment and scavenge, that’s going to add more time too.”
Arne also confirmed that The Last of Us DLC’s will only be multiplayer focused.
Watch the complete interview below:
12 to 16 hours of single player mode is pretty decent considering Uncharted 3’s 8-9 hours of campaign length. This is longer than 5 hour campaigns we see with other games.
Let us know your thoughts on the game’s 12 to 16 hour campaign in the comments below.
The Last of Us was previously scheduled to release on May 7, but now it’ll hit stores worldwide on June 14, 2013 for PS3.

Uncharted 3's campaign was a bit short. I love the idea of a bigger storyline, it gives you a bond with the characters, and for new players, it gives them a chance to train for multiplayer. This is an EXCELLENT idea. Keep up the good work, Naughty Dog!
naughty dog has uplifted the sony playstaion 3 brand so would like to play more games from them :D
12 to 16 hours of campaign is great. A vast story and getting to know and understand the characters along the way with what they went through is going to be a fun experience. I really liked how they said the environment is taking back what belongs to it; along with the infected and other humans there are numerous conflicts. With all these different things the story will build up tension making the ending feel satisfying and complete.
I was happy to hear that they extended the release date because that helps me see just how much they care for how the final product will be released. Thank you Naughty Dog for all of your hard work, I really look forward to experiencing this game.
This gonna keep my bussy till GTA V (y)
3 was definitely short. I enjoyed 1 and 2 more from that stand point but one other thing that certainly made them longer was the points you had to start at if you happened to die. This was much more prevalent in 1 which ate up more time till you got past that "checkpoint." I have no problem with it being that way although my son thinks 1 is harder and I have a feeling that's why. But it provides more time to play and I like that. We enjoy escaping into Nate's world.
Naughty Dog seems to do everything I want and expect a developer to do to both make a great game and show that they actually do care about their fans. This is something almost never seen from another developer these days and is also the reason I will buy every Naughty Dog game. A game with that much work and thought is simply a good buy. Keep it up Naughty Dog.
Seems like a sponsored post. Hopefully this isn’t the case.
Can every game be made by either Naughty Dog or Irrational. Seriously, these guys do games the was they should be done.
Love this. This is the first game I actually preordered. I still play UC1 and 2. 3 not so much. Beat all on crushing. Love love love the series. Very glad TLofU will be a longer play. Hurry up JUNE.
I'm Very impressed with the way Naughty Dog is handling this game. But… I wish the campaign was much longer? When was the last time there was a 20+ hour campaign? I understand the inclusion of multiplayer probably limited the length of the campaign, but I wish the campaign was longer. Nonetheless, I hope to thoroughly enjoy the game.
For the brazilian market where games are very expensive it's money loss to buy a game on the release wich takes so short time to finish, i'm not a multiplayer fan, so whatever if the game has the best multiplayer ever made, I buy games for the single player. Less than 20 hours, so what i first wanted to buy day 1, now I'll wait until the release price falls
Best multiplayer ever made??? Seriously? Have you ever played Red Dead Redemption?
I played it and I still say TLOU multiplayer is better.You dont have tons of ammo so every shot has to count and teamwork really counts 2.Incredible Game :D
this game is absolutely fantastic but the playthrough was shorter than promised, I went through full stealth, scavenged every corner and I died… A LOT.. and it only took me 12 hours.. still a lot longer than most games but I really took my time and i came in at the shortest playthrough time they promised.
Way too short. I beat the game playing after work for about a week. I collected lots of stuff, not everything but a lot. The length of gameplay is not that big of a deal but I wish there were side missions and a free world to roam around in, just exploring killing zombies, a free world like Red Dead Redemption and Assassins Creed III. That would be so awesome for this game.
Took me exactly 15 hours on hard.
Immediately started over on Survival. :D
Took me between 18-20 hours on survival mode. (Excluding deaths)
My first playtrough was 16 hours and the second one was 18 cuz i collected everything.The only trophies left are 4 + difficulties and Hard,Survival. :D
Naughty Dog makes some of the most amazing kick ass games such as the Uncharted series and The Last of Us (hoping to be a series) every time a cut scene comes on I get so excited because it’s like watching a movie, and it blows my mind. And when I play I like to immerse myself with the game where I pretend i’m Joel or Nathan, and I play like im those people and I do things in a sense where if I was really there and I would play more safe because “I wouldn’t want to get shot or eaten” and it just makes everything more fun. Keep doing what you’re doing Naughty Dog, fantastic job. And a side note: the intro to The Last of Us was incredible, unlike anything iv’e ever seen in a video game, it was only 20 mins into playing the intro to the game and I felt like I wanted to cry. That’s how you know it’s going to be the greatest game ever when you already want to cry in the intro. I couldn’t ask for a better game, absolutely unreal.
j’ai fini le jeux en 11 heure 46 minute 26 seconde :)
