For a long while, fans waited to find out when they could get their hands on the highly anticipated sequel. However, that release date didn't last long as the game was promptly delayed on account of the coronavirus pandemic that's unfortunately still plaguing most of the world — more on that here.
That's how April began and it's ending with the announcement of a new release date. That's not all that The Last of Us Part II is rounding out the month with, though, as a multitude of spoilers have made their way online. So, it's worth being aware of that so that you can actively make an effort to avoid them. Find out more on that here.
Anyway, back on topic. Sony (via PlayStation Blog) has officially announced that The Last of Us Part II will release exclusively for the PlayStation 4 on June 19th, 2020. That's just under two months from now. One has to wonder whether the aforementioned recent leaks have anything to do with Sony's decision to announce a new release date.
Regardless, here's hoping the highly anticipated sequel won't be subject to yet another delay between then and now.
Five years after their dangerous journey across the post-pandemic United States, Ellie and Joel have settled down in Jackson, Wyoming. Living amongst a thriving community of survivors has allowed them peace and stability, despite the constant threat of the infected and other, more desperate survivors. When a violent event disrupts that peace, Ellie embarks on a relentless journey to carry out justice and find closure. As she hunts those responsible one by one, she is confronted with the devastating physical and emotional repercussions of her actions.
The Last of Us Part II is set to release exclusively for the PlayStation 4 on June 19th, 2020.
