What Is No Return Mode in The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered? Explained

The new ‘No Return’ mode is a roguelike survival mode created especially for The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered. This new mode places you in a randomized encounter, so each play-through will feel as fresh as the first.

You choose any Last of Us character, each with their own skills and traits that can suit any playstyle. Some of these characters are available straight away, while others have to be unlocked. You’ll then make your way through the encounter, fighting a variety of enemies and trying to survive as long as you can. You should use the appropriate combat style whether that’s a stealthy approach or more guns-a-blazin’ is up to you!

Each encounter is designed to be different and unpredictable. Whether or not you survive comes down to what choices you make and how you decide to play.

This mode is bound to get players picking up The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered again and again, even long after they have finished the main title.
