The PS4 sequel to The Last of Us will no longer be out in February, sources tell Kotaku. Publisher Sony has delayed The Last Of Us Part II to this spring, just a month after announcing a release date of February 21, 2020.

The news isn’t official yet, and Sony didn’t respond to a request for comment yesterday, but Kotaku has heard from two people familiar with goings-on at Naughty Dog that the game is bumped to spring. We expect an announcement this week.

I'm a bit disappointed but good that they are not releasing the game unfinished.

 

[Shai-Tan]

if they announce the ps5 by then for the fall I may as well just wait for it like I waited for a PC version of Red Dead Redemption 2

 

[Magusx]

Good didn't like it being so close to FFVII. (will cry if FFVII gets delayed)

 

[GymWolf]

Oh well, 2020 is full of games, i can survive just fine.

 

[Iced Arcade]

yeah at this point I'll just wait for the PS5 version

 

[Kabelly]

Man, sucks they're delaying the game just to add gyro aim /s...

 

[Sosokrates]

At this point I might as well play it on PS5.

 

[ManaByte]

Some poor intern wasted hours in After Effects just to make that State of Play to announce the release date, then they delay it.

 

[iBeastSlayer-]

Like others, at this time better wait for the PS5 release. I’m already in that case for many games like Breakpoint.

 

[Fbh]

Yeah, as others have said. If it's releasing so close to Ps5 I'd rather just wait for that version.

Also, kinda weird to delay it a month after making a big deal of the release date lol

 

[Handy Fake]

So, like a month..?

 

[mejin]

Probably may or june then.


NOooooooooooooo

 

[prinz_valium]

They better not release shortly after Cyberpunk 2077, or the game will DoA

 

[TexMex]

It’s bizarre that they JUST had a media event to announce the release date for this maybe a month ago? Or less? I don’t care if it’s delayed a bit but that’s so odd to me.

 

[rashbeep]

lmao

 

[JohnnyFootball]

They better not release shortly after Cyberpunk 2077, or the game will DoA

The first one sold well over 17 million copies. It isn't remotely close to DoA if it releases near Cyberpunk 2077. In fact, I'd say it's more likely to hurt PS4 Cyberpunk sales.

 

[iorek21]

They are delaying it 20 days after the release date reveal??

Jeez

 

[Nero_PR]

It seems that I will wait to buy this and Ghost of Tsushima for the PS5.

17 million is PROBABLY more than DoA.

Like, as a series plus spin-offs, even.

 

[Mackers]

I mean, I wouldnt mind, but theres no way they wouldnt have known it wouldnt be ready for february when they announced it all of 2 weeks ago.

 

[Heinrich]

bomba, this is going to bomb so hard this cinematic "game".

 

[NeonGhost]

bomba, this is going to bomb so hard this cinematic "game".

Go back to resetera

 

[Birdo]

At this point, they should just make it a PS5 launch title.

 

[prinz_valium]

Nah. Very few will stream the game. Very vew will make YT videos about it.
It's all about Cyberpunk 2077. That will hurt the reach and legs.

 

[Handy Fake]

bomba, this is going to bomb so hard this cinematic "game".

You sound upset, would you like to talk?

 

[Starhowl]

Who cares? *Shrugs*

 

[Pyramid Song]

I wonder what happened.

 

[skneogaf]

Curious as to what can be done in such a short amount of time between the two dates.

 

[Handy Fake]

I wonder what happened.

I'd err on the side of it being a marketing issue rather than a game issue.

 

[Evil Calvin]

Yawn! After the reveal that Ellie's story will be about love. Lesbian love with Dina (and Joel) I think I can wait for this just fine.............

 

[Fake]

Is that the ZhugeEX info?

 

[JohnnyFootball]

Nah. Very few will stream the game. Very vew will make YT videos about it.

You have no clue what you’re talking about.
It’s not going to get crushed by Cyberpunk 2077.

 

[joe_zazen]

Curious as to what can be done in such a short amount of time between the two dates.

they probably are just running into more bugs than they anticipated during final QA testing. .

 

[DeepEnigma]

So this was the super secret vague tweet yesterday?

 

[Pyramid Song]

I'd err on the side of it being a marketing issue rather than a game issue.

Could be. Still weird. They hyped people like an entire week before the SOP. They were confident.
Anyway, im fine with this. Neil and ND wants this game to be perfect.

 

[joe_zazen]

You have no clue what you’re talking about.
It’s not going to get crushed by Cyberpunk 2077.

maybe if 2077 reviews like botw and tlou2 doesnt? But yeah, highly unlikely.

 

[Kabelly]

people are out of their minds if they really believe this game is going to flop.

 

[MiguelItUp]

Eh, not that big of a delay, nothing too earth shattering. If it needs more time, give it more time!

That being said, 2020 is gonna be ridiculous, lmao.

 

[VulcanRaven]

They better not release shortly after Cyberpunk 2077, or the game will DoA

I think its more likely that it will hurt Cyberpunk's sales. Not the other way around. I hope they don't release them too close together.

 

[Sub_Level]

Spring 2020 is fucking stupid packed. This is stupid.

 

[vaibhavpisal]

Will ps4 discs play directly on ps5? They could make it a ps5 launch title.

 

[xrnzaaas]

At this point, they should just make it a PS5 launch title.

Nah, they can sell a lot of copies on the PS4 AND attract other people into buying a PS5 for better graphics and higher fps. It would have to be early decision to make it a PS5 game to fully captalize on what it can do.

 

[DeepEnigma]

Will ps4 discs play directly on ps5? They could make it a ps5 launch title.

Yes, and it will probably have a PS5 upgrade patch.

As much as I loved and enjoyed the LoU1. However, if it even releases remotely close to Cyberpunk, I will just wait for the PS5 rerelease.

 

[JohnnyFootball]

Duke Nukem Forever would like a word with you Mr. Mikami

 

[mortal]

bomba, this is going to bomb so hard this cinematic "game".

Translation: I want this game to bomb so hard purely out of spite, even though there is no real indication that it will. Even despite how well received and commercially successful the first game was.

Get a grip lol

 

[Javthusiast]

Apparently Ghost of Tsushima got pushed into later half of 2020 as opposed to being planned for the first as Schreier also reported.
