Now that fans are aware of the release date for the highly anticipated sequel to Naughty Dog’s 2013 hit, excitement is at an all-time high. That said, a recent interview has provided players with more details about the upcoming title, including the confirmation that The Last of Us Part II is “about 50 percent bigger” than the first entry.

During the interview between GamerBraves and The Last of Us Part II co-writer Halley Gross, she confirmed that the sequel is bigger not only in terms of length, but also as far as characters, areas, cutscenes, etc. go. “The game – I think we’re saying is about 50 percent bigger,” Gross said. “It is massive. Not just in length, but like, all of our levels are bigger and wider, we have more cinematics, we have more characters, we have more animations, we have larger melee systems. In every way, this game is bigger and better.” This can be found in the video below at the 2:23 minute mark.

From everything we’ve seen about The Last of Us Part II so far, it certainly looks to be bigger, better, and more tense than ever. Then again, we’ll just have to wait until next year to find out for sure.

The Last of Us Part II is set to arrive on February 21, 2020 for PlayStation 4. Keep it tuned to Don’t Feed the Gamers as this story develops, and for other gaming goodness going on right now, check out the following:
