The Last of Us Part II Official Release Window
The Last of Us Part II was revealed at Sony’s PlayStation Experience back in December 2016. Since then, fans have been treated to just one other trailer showcasing what presumably will be more characters in the game, as well as a bunch of little tidbits that the game’s Creative Director, Neil Druckmann, has shared since the reveal. That’s pretty much it.
In an interview with Argentinian radio station Vorterix, The Last of Us Part II’s composer Gustavo Santaolalla stated the title is planned to launch exclusively for PS4 in 2019. This claim hasn’t been backed up by developer Naughty Dog or publisher Sony, though a 2019 release date for the game doesn’t seem too out of the question. The developer took two years to launch Uncharted 3 after Uncharted 2 came out in (2009 to 2011), two years again to launch The Last of Us after Uncharted 3 (2011 to 2013), and three years to release Uncharted 4 after The Last of Us (2013 to 2016), after all, meaning it’s poised for a software release sometime next year.
Using this logic, it would seem that the announcement of a release window for The Last of Us Part II is imminent, though don’t expect a concrete release date to be decided upon just yet. Given how God of War’s release date was announced only three months before launch, expect Naughty Dog’s sequel to follow a similar plan of attack.
