The Last of Us: Left Behind Gets Standalone Release

Naughty Dog's first ever single player DLC Left Behind, released last year for The Last of Us, will soon be available as a standalone downloadable game. 

Left Behind will be available on both the PlayStation 3 and PlayStation 4 for £7.99/$9.99 on May 12th and you won't need the main game to play it. 

"If you haven't had a chance yet to check out The Last of Us, this is a nicely priced gateway to checking out the world and characters so many people (and critics) loved," Naughty Dog community chief Arne Meyer commented on the PlayStation Blog.

"While part of the story of Left Behind takes place during the main narrative arc of The Last of Us, I think some of the best and most touching moments of any game in recent memory occur during the prequel segments, as we follow Ellie and Riley as they sneak out of boarding school to visit an abandoned mall, getting one final chance to enjoy their friendship before Riley leaves to join the Fireflies."

A two hour trial of the Factions Multiplayer mode is included and there are built-in upgrade paths via the in-game store for both the full Factions experience and the full game of The Last of Us.
