#Blocktober: A Look at Santa Barbara Levels in The Last of Us Part II

Emilia Schatz, an experienced game designer at Naughty Dog, was kind enough to provide an extended look at the levels of the Santa Barbara part in The Last of Us 2 to celebrate this year's Blocktober event. 

The designer was responsible for the final part of the sequel where Ellie has tracked Abby and Lev to Santa Barbara and she travels there to get her revenge. This part was sunny and yet felt so nervous and wrong and a part of the final success belongs to the awesome team of level designers.

Here are some of the behind-of-the-scenes shots shared by Emilia:
