The Last of Us' Grounded DLC launching 'week of May 5'

The Last of Us' third and final downloadable multiplayer expansion, the Grounded Bundle, will be released globally during "the week of May 5," developer Naughty Dog announced on Twitter yesterday.

Sony typically updates the PlayStation Store on Tuesdays in North America and Wednesdays in Europe, which would place the release dates for the Grounded Bundle at May 6 in North America and May 7 in Europe.

The Grounded Bundle is the last piece of DLC for the Last of Us season pass, which costs $19.99. The package includes the new single-player difficulty level, Grounded Mode ($4.99 by itself); the Reclaimed Territories Map Pack ($9.99 by itself); the Survivalist Weapon Bundle ($5.99 by itself); and two Survival Skills bundles ($3.99 each by themselves). Sony will stop selling the season pass after the week of May 13.
