The Grounded II: Making The Last Of Us Part II documentary will officially premiere next week on February 2, 2024 at 9am PT / 12pm ET / 5pm GMT.
It’ll be available to watch on YouTube and it’ll also be included in an update for The Last Of Us Part II Remastered on PS5. That update will also feature new cosmetics for Ellie and Abby.
This documentary is a sequel in its own right, after this first Grounded documentary was released detailing part of the experience developers at Naughty Dog went through while making what’s become known as one of their landmark titles.

However Grounded II will likely feel quite different from the first one, for the reason that the project was at one point abandoned before being picked back up.
The trailer for Grounded II explains that while filming for the documentary began in 2016, it was abandoned due to the COVID-19 outbreak. Now, the footage has been unearthed and the project finished.
A quick look at the trailer also shows how this documentary will likely feel different in tone from the first, as it dives into the crunch developers faced, the leaks prior to release, and the struggles the pandemic caused the studio.
