In a world where alchemy has become taboo and is considered evil, Atelier Yumia: The Alchemist of Memories & the Envisioned Land follows the adventures of alchemist Yumia Liessfeldt and her companions as they seek to uncover the truth behind the fall of the Aladissian Empire, which once thrived with alchemy, and the memories of a lost history. Yumia’s quest will take her across a ruined continent and despite the uncertainties of confronting her past, she will need to create her own path if she hopes to unravel the mysteries behind the cataclysm that destroyed Aladiss.

Together, Yumia and her companions will travel across the vast continent that was once the Aladissian Empire, where all civilization has perished. Players will have a wide range of actions and items at their disposal throughout their adventure, allowing them to discover a vast open world made up of different biomes as they progress through these unknown lands. As they explore, players can gather materials and synthesis items, which can be used to synthesise and craft new items for use in their quest, both during exploration and combat. Not only will fans be able to craft items without having to return to their base thanks to the “Simple Synthesis” feature, but for the first time in the series, fans will be able to build, furnish and decorate their own base with the “Building” feature.

The Last of Us Part II Remastered arrives on PC on April 4, and PlayStation Australia and Naughty Dog want to make sure players are prepared for the journey ahead. Whether it’s your first time experiencing Ellie and Abby’s acclaimed stories, or you’ve previously played and are excited to jump in via a new format, there are plenty of quality-of-life features and even new content in store.

PC features detailed

The PC version of The Last of Us Part II Remastered brings with it all the improvements and new features added in the PlayStation 5 version released in 2024, such as the roguelike survival mode No Return, Guitar Free Play, and hours of developer commentary.

In partnership with Naughty Dog, Nixxes Software and Iron Galaxy, Part II Remastered has been brought to PC with plenty of PC-centric quality-of-life features that further bring the snow-covered mountains of Jackson, Wyoming, and the rainswept streets of Seattle, Washington to beautiful life.

This version of The Last of Us Part II Remastered is optimised for PC with:

• Nvidia DLSS 3 Super Resolution and Frame Generation support¹
• AMD FSR 3.1 and AMD FSR 4 support with upscaling and frame generation¹
• VSync and framerate cap options, including an uncapped framerate option²
• DirectStorage support, and more. 

It has been developed with features designed specifically for PC, including:

• Adjustable Texture Quality
• LOD Distance Range
• Volumetric Quality
• Shadow Quality
• Ambient Occlusion
• Reflections Quality
• and more

The Last of Us Part II Remastered on PC will feature support for Ultrawide monitors³, so players will be able to take in the stunning vistas of Jackson and the harsh streets of Seattle with gameplay supported in 21:9 ultra-wide, 32:9 super ultra-wide and even 48:9 resolutions with compatibility for triple-monitor setups. 

Take in every chapter of Ellie and Abby’s journeys in stunning 4K resolution² while playing either via various supported controllers as well as keyboard and mouse controls. Immerse yourself in the story with 3D audio surrounding you in every tense moment of action and each quiet scene of exploration.⁴

Keyboard and mouse control support includes a host of new control customisation options, like full control remapping, primary and secondary bindings for keyboard and mouse control, an adaptive mode that allows players to combine keyboard and controller inputs, and more. Part II Remastered on PC will feature full gamepad support, while DualSense controllers are supported and feature full haptic feedback.⁵

The Last of Us Part II Remastered on PC offers a wide range of graphics settings and presets, to ensure the best possible experience on hardware ranging from high-end PCs to handheld gaming devices. Find below an overview of recommended specifications for a variety of graphics presets.

New No Return content

Additionally, coming at launch for The Last of Us Part II Remastered on PC will be a host of new content for the fan-favourite No Return mode. Two new characters are being introduced for the mode – The Last of Us Part I’s Bill and Marlene. Like with each No Return combatant, these characters offer their own unique play styles, and should offer both new and returning fans an exciting new opportunity to test their mettle. Bill is a “Smuggler” playstyle who can access a custom pump shotgun from dead drops, and receives double rewards from drops as well. He’s stronger against melee attacks but can’t dodge. Marlene, meanwhile, features a “Risk Taker” playstyle that includes a Custom Assault Rifle, “All or Nothing” gambits, can reroute her No Return path once per run, and more.

Four new maps have also been added to No Return. Overlook, which is set high above the city of Seattle and features plenty of verticality, is the memorable site of a Seraphites encounter in the campaign. School is, during the campaign, the abandoned elementary school in which Ellie and Dina face off against the W.L.F. Streets is set in the overgrown Seattle neighbourhood of Hillcrest, while Nest will be familiar to players who have played as Abby through an Infected-infested building. The teams have been so overjoyed about the reaction to this mode since Part II Remastered debuted on PS5 last year, and hope these new maps further offer more variability and thrills as players tackle new runs.

Speaking of PlayStation 5 players, fear not – this new No Return content, as well as accompanying new Trophies and additional bug fixes – will be available day-and-date with the PC launch via a free downloadable 2.0.0 patch.⁶

PlayStation Network log-in bonuses

Last but not least, Part II Remastered on PC will support PlayStation overlay and PSN Trophies with an optional account for PlayStation Network log-in.
