What is No Return?
A roguelike survival mode, No Return allows players to choose their own path and test their skills across runs of randomized encounters. Let's dive into how runs work, and what players can expect as they jump into the mode.

A roguelike survival mode, No Return allows players to choose their own path and test their skills across runs of randomized encounters. Let's dive into how runs work, and what players can expect as they jump into the mode.
Death is permanent in No Return
No Return's randomized combat encounters will bring players to familiar locations from The Last of Us Part II’s campaign, like Jackson, the Channel 13 News Station, and many more. These scenarios will be unfamiliar thanks to unique gameplay differences, like a roster of playable characters with different playstyle traits, unexpected gameplay modifiers, unique objects and more.
But be warned: death is permanent in No Return, so if you fail a run midway, you’ll lose all weapons, items, and upgrades accumulated for that run and begin again with a fresh set of randomized scenarios. How you progress during any given run isn’t pre-defined. Throughout a run, players will choose between different encounters, which will determine not only the type of gameplay mode, but also what rewards are unlocked, what potential modifiers will be encountered, and more. In between each combat scenario, you’ll return to a Hideout, where you can prep and choose your next fight via a path laid out on a corkboard in these familiar locations.
The different challenge types of No Return
No Return’s challenges fall into four different types:
- Assault - which pits you against waves of enemies.
- Capture - in which you have to break into a safe full of valuable supplies enemies are guarding.
- Holdout - during which you and an AI-controlled buddy defend against Infected swarming around you.
- Hunted - in which you need to survive until the timer runs out against continuous enemy reinforcements.
Should you make it all the way to the end of a run, you’ll fight one of six successively unlocked boss encounters (and after you’ve conquered them all, they will randomly cap off future runs) against some of The Last of Us Part II’s most memorable foes, but not necessarily in the ways you first fought them.
Randomized mods
Mods will randomly be applied to encounters, and choosing to take on modded challenges affects the rewards you’ll receive. These will test your skills in some fun and surprising ways, including modifiers like enemies dropping pipe bombs upon death, a thick fog enveloping the encounter map, and more.
Dynamic challenges
Gambits are optional dynamic challenges that can further spice up any given round. From needing to land a number of headshots to dodging melee attacks, Gambits can both help you solidify a plan going into a challenge or offer up an opportunity to expand your strategy while working toward additional resources for that run.
Upgradeable weapons
As players of The Last of Us Part II will already be familiar with, the campaign features a number of upgradeable weapons for Ellie and Abby’s arsenal,
as well as skill upgrade trees.
