Yesterday, a brand new and exciting trailer for
The Last of Us Part II made its debut during PlayStation's State of Play presentation.
Since then, we've found out a bunch of intriguing information about the highly anticipated sequel. We got see what's
included in the various editions of the game and, Neil Druckmann, the director revealed that it will be the longest game Naughty Dog has ever made.
The exact scale of the game wasn't revealed, however, we now know that
The Last of Us Part II will be such a sizeable game that physical copies of the game will contain a set of two discs. This was pointed out on Twitter by the reputable source that is
Wario64 and has since been corroborated by others — but not officially confirmed.
It's quite rare that a game turns out to be so large that it requires two discs but it does occasionally happen.
Red Dead Redemption 2 is a notable and relatively recent example of a massive game which requried multiple discs. That sequel took up over 100GB, therefore, it's likely that
The Last of Us Part II will be just as demanding.
In
Red Dead Redemption 2's case, one disc was dedicated solely to downloading the game whilst the other was required to actually play the game. Again, this will almost certainly prove to be the case with
The Last of Us Part II as well.
Five years after their dangerous journey across the post-pandemic United States, Ellie and Joel have settled down in Jackson, Wyoming. Living amongst a thriving community of survivors has allowed them peace and stability, despite the constant threat of the infected and other, more desperate survivors.
When a violent event disrupts that peace, Ellie embarks on a relentless journey to carry out justice and find closure. As she hunts those responsible one by one, she is confronted with the devastating physical and emotional repercussions of her actions.
The Last of Us Part II will release exclusively for the PlayStation 4 on February 21st, 2020.
