Naughty Dog has announced the full details on the next and final DLC for The Last of Us. The Grounded Bundle adds a brutally difficult mode to the single-player campaign alongside new multiplayer maps and weapons.
"Grounded Mode will be the hardest challenge you'll ever face as you try to complete the single-player campaign of The Last of Us," said Naughty Dog's Eric Monacelli on the PlayStation Blog. "The AI is relentless, smart, and brutal, and survival will be near impossible. 'Completed Grounded Mode' might be one of the most difficult Trophies you'll ever earn."
Well he sure makes that sound challenging! If you're up to the task, Grounded Mode can be purchased on its own for $4.99.
The Reclaimed Territories Map Pack includes four news maps: Wharf, Capitol, Coal Mine, and Water Tower. All of them are inspired by locations from the campaign that players will recognize, but have been changed up enough to feel new, says Naughty Dog.
Also ready for release is the Survivalist Weapon Bundle. It contains four new weapons: Specter, Double Barrel, Enforcer, and Launcher. Specter is a silenced assault rifle while Enforcer is a highly accurate pistol that will cost you an extra loadout point.
For full descriptions of the weapons and maps, read the official blog post here. The map pack can be purchased for $9.99 on its own, while the new guns will cost you $5.99.
The Grounded Bundle content will be available "the week of May 5" according to Naughty Dog, which likely means May 6 in North America, since that's the day PSN is updated in the region.
The content is all available on its own, but you can save on everything (and get past DLC) if you purchase the season pass. The season pass is $19.99 for the next four weeks and includes the content from Grounded Bundle, the Left Behind expansion, and past additional maps.
