Everything We Know About The Last of Us Part II

When The Last of Us came out in 2013, it proved to be a huge success both commercially and critically. With the sequel set to arrive on PlayStation 4 in 2020, more and more information is coming out. To keep you up to date on all the latest news, here is everything we know about The Last of Us Part II.

It has been delayed to May 2020

Despite first being announced way back in 2016, a release date for The Last of Us Part II only came in September 2019. In the trailer above, Naughty Dog revealed that the action-adventure survival horror game would release on the PlayStation 4 on February 21, 2020.

However, within a month, creative director Neil Druckmann announced that the release date has been delayed to May 29, 2020.

“We realized we simply didn’t have enough time to bring the entire game up to a level of polish we would call Naughty Dog quality,” Druckmann said. “We were faced with two options: compromise parts of the game or get more time… this new release date allows us to finish everything to our level of satisfaction while also reducing stress on the team.”

So, while fans will have to wait a few extra months to see the sequel, we can rest assured quality won’t be sacrificed.

The Last of Us Part II is about revenge

It has always been clear that The Last of Us Part II will be a revenge story. While many assumed it would see Ellie getting revenge for Joel’s death, we now know that is not the case. Instead, the most recent trailer suggests that it could be Ellie’s love interest that sparks her vengeance.

Dina is seemingly ambushed and captured by bandits. The same group then forces Ellie on the floor and makes her watch as they execute her friend. In this instance, it appears that Ellie will be trying to avenge the death of Dina by attacking this group.
