The Last of Us Part 2 has been postponed and will not be released on the original release date. This was announced on PlayStation's Twitter channel.
The Last of Us Part 2 was scheduled for release on May 29, but has now been delayed to an unknown date. Naughty Dog says via a message on Twitter that the game is almost ready and the latest bugs are being removed.
Among other things, the developer’s message states: “We want to make sure everyone can play The Last of Us Part 2 around the same time and we can make sure we do everything we can to keep the best experience for everyone. This means that we postpone the game until a moment where we can solve these logistical problems. ”
The Last of Us Part 2 was also postponed in October last year.
