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

[Deleted member 4970]

Makes absolute sense if Death Stranding is Nov 8th

No need to release two AAA juggernauts that close

 

[Xevross]

Death Stranding November and TLOU2 Feb sounds great. I wonder if TLOU2 could have made late 2019 but moved later to get some extra polish since Death Stranding is gonna be there instead. Eh, its probably more likely that ND just need a bit more time.

 

[gremlinz1982]

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

This guy.

 

[Butterworth]

The biggest twist of the year.

I never pegged DS for launching before TLOU 2

 

[JehutyRunner]

Spain - We riotin':

Italy - We celebratin'*:

Spoiler

Assuming that Death Stranding November 8 date checks out

 

[Toumari]

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

Click to shrink...

Of course, but hopefully not as hard.

 

[Acquiescence]

As a member of #2019, I just got crushed.

Seriously Sony, can't you just switch the DS and TLoU dates? I know which one I'd much rather play this year.

 

[Prine]

This is massive news (DS), always knew Last of us was 2020.

 

[JahIthBer]

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.

Click to shrink...

FF7R would be the ultimate finish, but they might delay it to coincide with PS5.

 

[Deleted member 2254]

Surprised Jason only heard this now.

It's been known for a while.

Click to shrink...

That stealth insider brag.

/s

 

[LifeLine]

So GoTsu will be the Day 1 PS5+PS4 launch game.

Makes sense with all this talks about 6 month external contractors going on in Naughty Dog

 

[ChoklitCow]

My heart. Nooooo.

 

[Yerffej]

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

Click to shrink...

What's it up against?

 

[Gamer17]

Internal delays are a thing

Click to shrink...

It was planned, as Jason says.

Click to shrink...

It's an internal delay

Click to shrink...

It literally says it was planned for 2019

Click to shrink...

Then title should have said INTERNAL delay.not last of us was delayed .

Anyways mod change the title to reflect the situation better .all good

 

[Xita]

Well at least I got it half right on TLOU2 being 2020

 

[Lys Skygge]

This sounds perfect. Sony can continue their GoTY streak for a couple more years!

 

[The Artisan]

And nobody is surprised at this point.

Click to shrink...

I am. I really thought tlou2 was 2019.

 

[Lotus]

Aww, I wanted to play TLoU this year...

Hope Death Stranding makes up for it

 

[Sargerus]

Death Stranding this year?

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK i may have to buy a Pro.

 

[RevengeTaken]

A totall new and most ambitious IP comes before established title! dafuq!

 

[amnesties]

Team 2019 go home and be a family man

Click to shrink...

😞

 

[J-Skee]

To be fair, Death Stranding was revealed before the Last of Us, Part II, but I understand where you're coming from OP.

 

[Ahti]

Makes sense. Death Stranding and TLOU would be overkill lol.

 

[Caiops]

F

I wanted so much to play TLOU2 this year :(

 

[Yearsoflurking]

Shouldnl be March-April perfect period

 

[Deleted member 10737]

2019 was always too good to be true

 

[Saint-14]

What's it up against?

Click to shrink...

Cyberpunk if it's 2020.

 

[TheRaidenPT]

Makes sense. Death Stranding and TLOU would be overkill lol.

Click to shrink...

RIP anyone else

 

[Strafer]

nah, I still believe in 2019 until I hear from Sony or Naughty Dog directly.

 

[Bulby]

That Death Stranding release date makes me think this game will be nothing like we expect.

 

[Hanbei]

I blame Legion de Jugadores.

Click to shrink...

I blame all of Spain.

 

[YaBish]

Sad, but at least we get one this year

 

[Butterworth]

Click to shrink...

No doubt the usual ND delay for some extra time to polish. Which is why Sony don't announce dates early anymore, you can't delay something if you never reveal a date.

 

[Blackleg-sanji1]

#Team2019 I just wanna say it's been fun arguing with y'all 😏

 

[Akai]

Can't believe Jason delayed yet an other game. Wow...

lol

 

[mxbison]

I thought 2019 but also didn't expect Death Stranding to come out so soon. Early 2020 makes sense now.

 

[Gravity Insanity]

Looks like I have to repost this again.

Spoiler

Sorry #Team2019

 

[Deleted member 10737]

jason is as reliable as it gets

 

[Mercenary09]

What's it up against?

Click to shrink...

Cyberpunk for sure. Plus whatever Nintendo and Microsoft have. Not to mention some of the next gen games coming in 2020.

 

[DNAbro]

I never expected 2019 anyways. It's the type of game that would get delayed.

 

[LuisGarcia]

FF7R would be the ultimate finish, but they might delay it to coincide with PS5.

Click to shrink...

Nah FFVII is pretty much confirmed to be released by April 2020

 

[Alchemist]

Death Stranding this year is the real surprise here.

 

[Breqesk]

nah, I still believe in 2019 until I hear from Sony or Naughty Dog directly.

Click to shrink...

jason's track record is pretty much perfect

just ask the no man's sky and fallout 76 subreddits...

 

[Pandora012]

Hmmm if nioh comes out around then...gonna be a difficult choice. Leaning towards nioh tho.

 

[impact]

At that point I'll just wait for the PS5 port. I hated myself for playing the first on PS3 instead of the massively improved PS4 port that came out a year later.

 

[GuEiMiRrIRoW]

I'll wait for the ps5 version..

 

[vestan]

Wonder when they'll formally announce TLOU2's release date then, PSX? Probably.

Click to shrink...

My heart is broken as well, but not because I possibly won't be able to play ND's next GOTY this year, but because I'll have to eat so much crow.

 

[Deleted member 923]

3 GOTYs in a row? Mad. I'd rather have TLou2 first though, I need that MP :/
