# Naughty Dog Introduces a New "Chronological" Mode in *Part II* [Introducing The Last of Us Part II Remastered Chronological Experience, out today](https://blog.playstation.com/2025/07/08/introducing-the-last-of-us-part-ii-remastered-chronological-experience-out-today/) by Jonathon Dornbush for the PlayStation Blog > "Those who have already played will know its story is told non-linearly, as Ellie and Abby’s motivations, realizations, and emotional stakes unfold across myriad flashbacks and present-day storylines. While this structure is very intentional and core to how our studio wanted Part II’s themes and narrative beats to impact players, we always wondered what it would be like to experience this story chronologically. And now finally, we can answer that question." This sounds sick. I like the idea. I wager it gives the game an entirely different feel. I'll be giving this a shot the next time I play it. Arguably, this is how season two of the show should have been put together. Semi-related, I have had a major hankering to replay the *Uncharted* games and, even more so, the *Jak & Daxter* games. I have a desire for those PS2/PS3 era games that were lighter, shorter, etc. I was using *Sly 2: Band of Thieves* as my test game for my [[Lessons from PS2 Slim Tune-Up|PS2 Slim]] after its tune up. The intro cutscene was so enticing in and of itself. I think there is some reminiscing in my future.
