Sony postpones The Last of Us Part II until the end of May 2020

The Last of Us Part II will be released May 29 next year. At least that is the new date that Sony mentions when announcing the postponement of the game. Just last month, Sony spoke of a February 21 appearance for the PS4 game.

Developer Naughty Dog acknowledges that it has been less than a month since the official release date of February 21 was announced. “Over the past few weeks, as we finalized the final sections of the game, we’ve realized that we simply don’t have enough time to polish the entire game to a level we call Naughty Dog quality,” the report said. developer.

The studio claims it was given the option of either making compromises or taking more time. The choice for the latter would, among other things, lead to less stress for the development team. Just a month ago, the company confidently stated that the game is almost finished and could therefore be released on February 21. That will be more than three months later.

Sony announced The Last of Us Part II in 2016, but by then the game had been in development for several years. The game features the same main characters as the first part and takes place five years after the events of that game. The first part of the game has sold more than 17 million times.
