The sequel to the award-winning video game The Last of Us is due out in February, and fans of the series will have an opportunity to go deeper into the making of the new game. Dark Horse Comics has announced The Art of The Last of Us Part II, the latest in their series of behind-the-scenes art books. The 192-page book will include character design and environment art for the game, plus much more.

Dark Horse has previously published several tie-ins to the original The Last of Us game. An art book for the game was released in 2013, and a four-issue prequel miniseries, The Last of Us: American Dreams, by game writer Neil Druckmann, award-winning writer & artist Faith Erin Hicks, and colorist Rachelle Rosenberg was released prior to the game’s release.

The Last of Us Part II takes place five years after the events of the first game, and follows Ellie and Jake as they encounter new characters and dangers in a post-apocalyptic America. The game is developed by Naughty Dog, and published by Sony.
