It Won’t Release in 2018
If one thing’s absolutely certain, The Last of Us Part II won’t be seeing the light of day until 2019 at the very earliest. Sony Interactive Entertainment CEO Shawn Layden made absolutely clear that the game was still in “very early development” before its debut at PlayStation Experience last year. Seeing as how Naughty Dog just released DLC for Uncharted 4 this past summer, full production for the title has only just commenced. Neil Druckmann himself confirmed this during that aforementioned wrap-up, meaning fans will have to wait at least another two years before they can finally get a hold of the game.
This isn’t bad news, as 2018 is rife with plenty of other console exclusive games like Detroit: Become Human, God of War, and Spider-Man to look forward to for PlayStation 4 owners. Here’s hoping that we won’t have to wait long after the release of these titles to learn about a launch date for The Last of Us Part II, however.
