One of the best parts of The Last of Us was that we got a documentary called Grounded which gave a raw look at the game's development. It was insightful and showed how challenging it is to make a game. Fans were a bit bummed there wasn't something similar for The Last of Us Part II, but apparently, there were plans to do that. It was unfortunately canceled as the game's development was upended in the final weeks thanks to the COVID-19 pandemic. Now, they are bringing the idea back and including footage that was recorded throughout development and seemingly some new interviews that serve as a retroactive reflection on the development of the game. Production on the documentary began in 2016, so we'll get years of insight into the development of the game. As of right now, there is no release date for the documentary, but it will be available on YouTube and will be added via a post-launch update to The Last of Us Part II at a later date.
The Last of Us Part II Remastered is shaping up to be a very unique product. While most people will probably play it to experience the story again or for the first time, it also serves as a great collection of how a game is made. Between this documentary and Naughty Dog re-implementing levels that were cut from the game, it's a unique game. Whether or not it will be truly insightful remains to be seen, but it could be a step in the right direction for other video games and maybe offer a level of transparency we don't typically have in this industry.
