The Last of Us Part 2 Release Date Delayed Until May 2020

A long wait becomes a little longer. The Last of Us: Part 2 has been delayed into next year.

According to a statement by Director Neil Druckmann on the official PlayStation Blog, the highly anticipated narrative action game has been pushed back into the Spring of 2020.

The Last of Us Part 2 release date is now May 29, 2020.

Druckmann muses on the circumstances, expressing awareness toward the recent wave of new content relating to the game. And while it gave the impression of near-completion, the team realized that this was a needed decision to ensure that the game can be the best it can be. He

"It was during the last few weeks, as we were closing out sections of the game, that we realized we simply didnt have enough time to bring the entire game up to a level of polish we would call Naughty Dog quality. "

Rushed games are, generally speaking, not as good as a game given the proper development time. So while we don't WANT to wait more than we have to, developers Naughty Dog has our complete understanding with this delay. Besides, We aren't quite emotionally prepared for the fact that the dogs you kill in The Last of Us 2 have names.
