Days ahead of the launch of The Last of Us Remastered on PlayStation 4, Naughty Dog plans on revealing the newest Last of Us downloadable content today as part of a live stream on Twitch. You can watch the stream above as it happens--it's set to begin today, July 24, at 11:30AM PST. A second stream will air at 5:30PM PST.

Details on the new DLC are scant, but we know it will be available for both PS3 and PS4. New maps are expected to be at least part of it, and the images you see to the right and below are teases for where they will be set.
Previous DLC packs include the Abandoned Territories map pack (added four new maps) and the Grounded bundle (consisted of several packs that collectively added four more maps, new weapons, new skills, and an additional difficulty mode for single-player). Naughty Dog said recently more DLC is planned for The Last of Us, but that all of it will be for the game's multiplayer mode.
In addition to showing off the new DLC, Naughty Dog will be highlightling Remastered's new features on PS4, as well as introducing The Last of Us' multiplayer mode to newcomers. The latter will sound unnecessary to those who have played The Last of Us on PS3, but Sony claims a significant portion of PS4 owners have never gotten to do so.
The Last of Us Remastered launches on PS4 next Tuesday, July 29, for $50. Sony isn't offering any kind of upgrade discount, but owners of the PS3 version can trade it in at GameStop to get Remastered for just $25. That's a solid deal for what appears to be the best version of such a highly regarded game.
