Despite announcing The Last of Us Part 2’s 2020 release date just a few weeks ago, PlayStation and Naughty Dog have confirmed a delay for the highly anticipated sequel.
The Last of Us Part 2 has been delayed to May 29, 2020, Naughty Dog’s Neil Druckmann, who also serves as creative director on Part 2, confirmed in a PlayStation blog post.
“Let me cut to the chase and get the news out of the way. The Last of Us Part II has a new release date of May 29, 2020,” Druckmann wrote. “I know. It was just about a month ago when we had our big blowout for the game, letting media play over two hours of it along with debuting our new story trailer and revealing the release date. The positive response we saw from our community was overwhelming. You can feel the energy among the team members. After working on something for so many years, it’s invigorating to get a glimpse of validation for all the hard work.”
