Elements from the new Lost Levels set to feature in The Last of Us Part II Remastered will be incorporated into the TV show's second season, Neil Druckmann has revealed. While it's possible for plans to change since filming hasn't begun yet, he told Entertainment Weekly "there is at least one element from a cut level that is planned [for] the show".
More details will be shared soon, but we know the three Lost Levels in the remastered PS5 version are called Jackson Party, Sewers, and Boar Hunt. Though they are not completely finished, you'll be able to explore the environments and learn "the intention of the level, what was going on in the sequence, and ultimately why it was cut". It's possible those elements will now be expanded upon further in the TV show's second season, which is due to begin filming at the start of next year.
Druckmann continues: "Think of these as levels left on the cutting room floor, that for various reasons didn’t make it into the final game. These are a new attempt from us to lift the curtain on the development process, and I hope players appreciate the insight into what did and didn’t make it into the final game." Alongside the three Lost Levels, there'll be a new rogue-like mode called No Return that introduces a fresh combat experience with many alternative playable characters.
Are you looking forward to seeing the Lost Levels expanded upon further in the TV series from HBO? Let us know in the comments below.

Can't wait tbh
I was dubious about this at first but looking forward to it now.
If only Uncharted got the same love. But then Uncharted doesn’t give him the same deeply vile pleasure amidst the current geopolitical landscape.
A smart bit of marketing.
So season 2 is going be a 1-1 of the game? Well that's disappointing 🙁 just like I don't play games to feel depressed and miserable I don't watch shows to feel the same way
It makes sense. Tv needs that touchy/feely aspect while the game didn’t need that added baggage.
@nessisonett
Uncharted is impractical to do on a TV budget, hell the movie couldn't even quite match the scale of the set pieces in the games, so no Uncharted can't "get the same love" whatever that even means.
So 3 lost unfinished levels to play? Did they hand development over to EA😂
Well sure but how's it gonna look no dialogue either I'm guessing and what no cutscenes 🤔
Does anyone know if this is going to have a 60fps option?
@PegasusActual93 The series has been put on ice, while the last 3 projects Naughty Dog has done have been TLOU and the next one is TLOU multiplayer.
@nessisonett they are also working on another game as well , and have stated that the mp game , and remaster of 2 was completely separate from the new game and didn't take anything away from it.
edit: there was also the rumor that another studio has taken over the uncharted series , i wouldn't be surprised if you see that announced soon.
