Jason Schreier (Kotaku): The Last of Us: Part II coming early 2020, possibly February

[JehutyRunner]

This is nuts. Who had money on Death Stranding coming out before The Last of Us 2?

 

[Toumari]

Good. Don't make people crunch too hard.

 

[kennyamr]

Wow. 2 gigantic games releasing so close to each other.

 

[Gamer17]

Lol release date was never announced.how is it delayed ?haha

Edit: now my post doesn't make sense as the OT title has been changed

 

[chadskin]

#Team2019 takes the L :(

Internal delays are a thing

It was planned, as Jason says.

Click to shrink...

It's an internal delay

 

[Comic Obsessed]

And nobody is surprised at this point.

 

[MillionIII]

Team 2019 go home and be a family man

 

[Deleted member 2254]

2019 never seemed too likely. Then again Death Stranding probably seemed even more unlikely, and yet here we are.

It literally says it was planned for 2019

 

[Rodjer]

I KNEW IT

 

[NLCPRESIDENT]

It would've been insane. But February is cool.

 

[Hey Please]

Good. Don't make people crunch too hard.

Click to shrink...

Yep.

In retrospect it was all the more beneficial for ND to have not provided a launch date publicly.

 

[Guymelef]

"Delayed".
Please choose better thread titles.

 

[Segafreak]

I wasn't expecting either of these games until 2020 anyway so pleasantly surprised if they come out Q1 2020 at the latest.

 

[z1ggy]

I can wait, DS is enough to close the year

 

[Simon-chan]

I blame Legion de Jugadores.

 

[TheBaldwin]

Yeah, i never would have guessed death stranding would release before lou2. Thats a shock. Legit though death stranding would be a ps5 launch title.

Do we have any news on if lou2 has a multiplayer component? Might add some elements to a delay

 

[Ricky_R]

#Team2020 baby! YEAHHHHH

Told u guys!

 

[Deleted member 21]

Changed the title since it never had a release date

 

[LuuKyK]

Sad. :(

 

[Deleted member 437]

Fine by me.

Tlou2 looks fucking nuts. Let it cook.

 

[BDS]

Dammittttttttt

 

[Riderz1337]

Death Stranding coming out before the last of us. Shits wild

 

[nib95]

Man, I really hoped it'd be 2019. Still I can't be mad if Death Stranding really is 2019 instead!

 

[ZhugeEX]

Surprised Jason only heard this now.

It's been known for a while.

 

[Yerffej]

Yeah yeah, where is my Ghosts of Tsushima tho.

 

[daveo42]

There it is. Hopefully this nips these 2019 rumors in the bud.

 

[Risev]

Damn Death Stranding releasing before Last of Us Part 2 is quite something haha.

 

[Slayven]

Feb been a good month for Sony

 

[ViewtifulJC]

sorry Team 2019...Naughty Dog failed us

 

[Gamer17]

2019 never seemed too likely. Then again Death Stranding probably seemed even more unlikely, and yet here we are.

True .we still haven't seen the gameplay loop of death stranding. 4 years he has worked on the game(not on the game engines much as that was provided to him for modifications ).excited to see what he has done

 

[AudioEppa]

Good! Give that soon to be masterpiece more time 🙏🏽

 

[Fancy Clown]

Both of these coming out in the fall would have been nuts

 

[Lifejumper]

Wild year.

 

[Ghos]

Damn imagine both hitting this year. At least they won't have to compete for sales and GOTY awards.

 

[Arex]

Great. Now just need ghost of tsushima release date and I'm set. Gonna get them all XD

 

[Guymelef]

And I'm ok with this, yesterday scenario was TLOU 2 2019 and Death Stranding in 2047.
Today is a good day.

 

[vestan]

November to Feb is going to be nuts. Death Stranding and The Last of Us Part II alone would be quite the ending for the PS4 but we still have Sucker Punch's game too.

 

[Wollan]

Surprise early Death Stranding release date (~10 months ahead of my personal exceptations!) so no stress. Take your time Naughty Dog!

 

[Skot]

Never got my hopes up based on the earlier 'leaks' this week, happy with a Q1 2020 release.

 

[Mercenary09]

Damn. Going to be tough for TLOU2 to win GOTY next year. Competition will be insane.

 

[kostacurtas]

So the timeline will be:

Death Stranding (2019)
The Last of Us Part II (2020)
Ghost of Tsushima (2020)

What a finish for the PS4.

 

[JahIthBer]

Wow, how many rumours about this games release are we gonna get? yesterday it was 2019.

 

[Couscous]

Nooo! :(

 

[WhoaIsThatMars]

how can it get delayed if there was never a date?

Good. Don't make people crunch too hard.

Click to shrink...

oh, you think they won't be crunching til February?

 

[RPGamer92]

Sony going for 3 GOTYs in a row!

 

[johncelery]

The relatively dull map of MGSV makes me a little nervous about another open world Kojima game, but I of course remain interested.
