Naughty Dog's Grounded 2: Making The Last of Us Part 2 Documentary Arrives Next Week

Naughty Dog's Grounded 2: Making The Last of Us Part 2 documentary arrives on February 2, 2024.

Announced in a post on X/Twitter, the developer shared the imminent release date for the behind the scenes documentary it announced earlier in January. New skins for Ellie and Abby in The Last of Us Part 2: Remastered will also be released to celebrate its arrival.

"Grounded 2: Making The Last of Us Part 2 is coming on February 2," the post said. "You'll be able to watch this documentary on YouTube and as part of an upcoming downloadable patch for The Last of Us Part 2: Remastered. The update also includes additional new skins for Ellie and Abby."

A two minute trailer for the documentary was also released earlier this month, showing development footage of the 2020 game dating as far back as 2016. Grounded 2 will give fans a look at the inside of Naughty Dog as the game was created, and the trailer shows off various key moments including when a huge leak revealed key story details ahead of launch. Various team members including director Neil Druckmann also appear in the trailer to offer insight into the development process.

Naughty Dog released the original Grounded documentary in 2014, which arrived as a similar 85 minute feature on the making of the original The Last of Us.

Grounded 2 could be fans' last taste of The Last of Us for a while, as The Last of Us Part 2: Remastered arrived January 19 and no further games have been announced. The remaster includes a roguelike mode called No Return, Lost Levels with developer commentary, graphical enhancements, DualSense integration, and a Guitar Free Play mode.

The Lost Levels — which were cut from the original game but are being included as bonus content for the PlayStation 5 upgrade — are called Jackson Dance, Boar Hunt, and Sewers, the last of which has fans particularly worried.

In our 10/10 review of the original game, IGN said: "The Last of Us Part 2 is a masterpiece that evolves the gameplay, cinematic storytelling, and rich world design of the original in nearly every way."
