Polygon: The Last of Us Remastered multiplayer gets brutal executions that the PS3 couldn't...

[News Feed]

The Last of Us developer Naughty Dog is releasing some new add-ons for the game's multiplayer component today, including nine new "special executions" that are particularly ferocious, the studio announced today.
