The Last of Us Single Player DLC Revealed: “Left Behind”

Along with the announcement that Uncharted is coming to PS4, Naughty Dog have also lifted the lid on the details of their first story DLC for The Last of Us – coming in early 2014, but available for pre-order as of November 19th.

Full details below, but it’s worth noting that some of Riley and Ellie’s back-story is available in the collection of The Last of Us: American Dreams comic book series.

Ashley Johnson reprises her role as Ellie in The Last of Us: Left Behind single-player DLC. Left Behind takes place while Ellie is attending a military boarding school in the Boston quarantine zone, prior to meeting Joel and the events in the main campaign of The Last of Us.

In just a few short months since the release of The Last of Us, you have made it clear that Ellie has become one of your favorite characters in games. Today, we’re excited to confirm that you play as Ellie throughout the entirety of Left Behind.

Joining Ellie on this new adventure is Riley, her best friend and also a mentor of sorts at the military boarding school. Just as The Last of Us focused on the bond between Ellie and Joel, Left Behind explores the bond between Ellie and Riley through a series of events that will forever change both of their lives.

Bringing Riley to life through our performance capture process is the talented Yaani King, who we had the pleasure of working with on the DLC.
