The Last of Us Part II Remastered is my second work and credit on a AAA game project and my second project at Naughty Dog. It is a remaster of the 2020 The Last of Us Part II game. My testing focused primarially on the new "No Return" mode, as well as fixes for the single player campaign.

Responsibilities

  • Tested the new "No Return" mode as well as the single player story, creating a polished experience while also ensuring fixes for new content did not break legacy single player content
  • Worked with designers and programmers to triage important issues
  • Utilized extensive in-game debug and various proprietary in-house tools
  • Worked on post-launch patches
