Initially planned for a February 2020 release, the highly anticipated title from Naughty Dog, The Last of Us Part II, has been pushed back a few months. Neil Druckmann, the game's director, made the official announcement via a post on PlayStation Blog today.

"It was during the last few weeks, as we were closing out sections of the game, that we realized we simply didn’t have enough time to bring the entire game up to a level of polish we would call Naughty Dog quality," writes Druckmann. "At this point we were faced with two options: compromise parts of the game or get more time. We went with the latter, and this new release date allows us to finish everything to our level of satisfaction while also reducing stress on the team."

The new release date for The Last of Us Part II is May 29, 2020. You can read Neil Druckmann's full blog post in the source below.

Hmmm, maybe $ony should fund smaller games instead of huge blockbuster titles. That way they games would actually come out on time and we would have better games.

You won't get a better game than this next year so yeh delay is bolox but when the time comes we will appreciate it

I hope they delay it again: I don’t want to have the same birthday with a shitty game.

 

[sarkwalvein]

Delays are OK if the game ends up good.
I am sure I was not that desperate to get it on February, I can wait three more months.

PS: In the other hand, dear Nintendo... what's going on with Metroid Prime 4?

They need more time to make Ellie extra gay

Ubisoft delays Watch Dogs Legion, Gods & Monsters and Rainbow Six Quarantine

Hmm, it’s all adding up... others are following suit.

I'd rather it be delayed if it means releasing a better game, just the other day I read an article about how 'broken' a WWE game is:

I Bet This Keeps Getting Bounced Back Until PS5

No, they'll release it on the PS4 and then release a 'definitive' edition a year or so later for the PS5.

Some of these comments are beyond stupidity. And can people please stop using that dumb latest buzz word I see 1,000x a day...."woke"? People that use buzzwords all the time come across as nothing but edge lords. Kinda like how I'm coming across as one writing my own stupid post.

And anyone who's pissed off with the delays of a few triple AAA games let's not forget tomorrow we hav the outer worlds to enjoy

Seems likely. It will create a big reason to upgrade to a PS5. It's not like these companies are not above doing things like that. Like when Nintendo delayed Breath of the wild and also got rid of the gamepad's inventory management because of the Switch.

Meh, never was interested. Not surprised about delay.

Really does beggar belief when users not interested in a game post in it- is it just to get ther post count up if so how sad

 

[TehCupcakes]

Honestly, can you really hold it against them when their games turn out as good as they do? You can't rush perfection, folks.

 

[Purple_Shyguy]

I hope they delay it forever

H e c c

Frustrating but I'd rather keep waiting if it means they get it right, this sequel's got a lot to live up to.

Excuse me, but did someone piss in your cereal this morning? I'm entitled to my opinions and I can post what I want, don't like it, that's none of your concern. No need to a be a conceited punk about it.

 

[sarkwalvein]

Do people piss on cereal? Is that a common prank in America?
Hmmm... mean prank.

 

[SuperDan]

Well it's only a extra few months.... Supposed to be the biggest naughty dog game to date ..... & it just looks so good in videos .. I can't wait to see this on my ps4 pro

I'm asking because he was being a smartass, calling me out just because I have no interest in the game. Oh big whoop, that's not my problem.
