Being next to someone and ‘Oh my God, I want to kiss them so bad.’ Her and Riley getting that beautiful moment in this really harsh world - that’s a wonderful thing.” “See those glimpses of getting to be a kid and … being carefree and those first moments of having a crush on someone. The “Left Behind” DLC “gave a moment of fun in a really heavy world,” said Ashley Johnson, who portrays Ellie in “The Last of Us” games. The “Left Behind” expansion - or DLC, in gaming parlance - jumps between the present, where Ellie scours an abandoned mall looking for medical supplies to treat a gravely injured Joel, and the past, where Ellie is hanging out at an abandoned mall with Riley. “Left Behind” was hailed for its story and for centering a queer teen romance, which was groundbreaking at the time for mainstream video games. Those familiar with “The Last of Us” video games will recognize that Episode 7 is an adaptation of “The Last of Us: Left Behind,” a supplemental chapter of the game originally released in 2014. To make up for her radio silence, Riley has planned an extravagant date night for Ellie at a relic of the Before Times: the mall. It turns out that while Ellie has been going through the motions at school after Riley’s disappearance, Riley has dropped out to join the Fireflies - the rebel militia that opposes the oppressive military government that’s been in charge since the outbreak. They’re two young women trying to figure it out, trying to grow up in this crazy post-apocalyptic world.” “It’s a little bit refreshing to see Ellie’s story … You get to see two best friends … that love each other, that care about each other.
“I just love that this episode is focused on the younger characters’ perspectives,” said Storm Reid, who portrays Riley, during a recent video call.
#WHEN SHOULD I PLAY THE LAST OF US DLC SERIES#
In Sunday’s episode, the HBO series introduces two characters from the game, Bill and Frank - and changes their story completely. Hopefully, we’ll keep getting more throughout the PS5’s lifecycle… and beyond.Television ‘The Last of Us’ team explains the ‘skeleton key’ episode that has everybody talking Sony has proven it's willing to fund such projects, as evidenced by Miles Morales, Iki Island, Burning Shores and the other expansions I’ve mentioned.
Beyond that, it makes the case for more expansions like it on PS5. Horizon Forbidden West: Burning Shores is a DLC that’s an enjoyable ride for those who’ve finished the main game but yearn for more. We need to see more of them, especially with how long it takes for new entries to come out. The company has a history of releasing DLC and expansions for its exclusives. I could list more, but I don’t want to belabor the point. Let’s not forget Uncharted: Lost Legacy, Infamous: Festival of Blood and Infamous: Fight Light. Miles Morales is a great example, as is Ghost of Tsushima: Iki Island and Returnal: Ascension. And as we’ve seen in the past, these ventures can contain the same level of quality as the games they’re derived from. This proves that it would be wise for Sony to release expansions of its biggest titles while we wait for mainline sequels. However, the wait doesn’t feel as long because we got Spider-Man: Miles Morales to tide us over. Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 is slated to release this year - five years after the original.
Spider-Man: Miles Morales is an exceptional expansion available on PS5.
The sequel to Death Stranding is on its way, but it’s unclear when that will manifest. We didn’t have quite the same wait for God of War Ragnarök, but it was still a long four years.

The Last of Us Part 2 was released in 2020, a full seven years after its predecessor. It can sometimes take years for big-time PlayStation exclusives to receive a sequel. We need more expansions for PlayStation exclusives The Horizon franchise might not be as popular as The Last of Us or God of War, but it’s a solid sci-fi action-adventure series that demonstrates the quality of PlayStation's exclusives. More than that, it does an excellent job of getting us ready and excited for the third installment. I don’t want to say more for fear of spoilers, but suffice it to say that Horizon Forbidden West: Burning Shores is a brilliant expansion to one of the best PS5 games available. Of course, there are other locations and environments we’ve never seen before - with epic action sequences that explain why this DLC isn’t available on the aging PS4. Even if the sandy beaches and glittering ocean are reminiscent of what we saw in the game’s San Francisco region, they’re no less stunning to behold. Like Forbidden West, Burning Shores features stunning graphics that take advantage of the PS5’s powerful hardware.
