The Last of Us: Part II Release Date Leaked for October?

[Pokemon Master Tim]

A Peruvian retailer has supposedly revealed the release date for The Last of Us: Part II, which they are stating launches in October. This falls in line with other things we've heard recently, including what IGN's Alanah Pearce said on Twitter, and the fact that it comes after the retailer event Destination PlayStation could give this more weight. What do you think?

I wasn't expecting this game for 2019 at all. That would be neat.

 

[Deleted member 49132]

This shit had 2019 written all over it ever since the reveal at PSX 2016

Not surprised in the least when this turns out to be true

This is ResetEra.

It makes sense as PS5 was supposed to be released in 2019 (still could). This is what Lawden was implying with his new year tweet.

 

[stone616]

I wouldn't mind them just making this a PS5 launch title even if it's cross platform

 

[LookAtMeGo]

I hope its true.

 

[Flandy]

Inb4 delayed to 2020 if it's real

 

[Mr. Giggles]

Fall 2019 would be nice, I'm ready for it regardless :)

It's the only date they have that makes sense for them. They want people to double dip so it has to release this year for a remaster in 2020/21

 

[Bundy]

2019 would be.... suprising. 3 and 5 months after Uncharted 4 and 2 years after Uncharted: The Lost Legacy. I hope they take all the time they need for The Last of Us 2. Part 1 is my favourite game of all time. So I hope they don't rush it and have the time they need to make a nother masterpiece.

Still think it's 2020.

 

[Thorrgal]

I thought this was debunked on the OT? I may be wrong but it was definitely mention there last week

On topic I think Ghost of Tsushima is definitely a 2020 game and we'll get either TloU2 this year and DS early 2020, or the other way around, no doubt

Didn't someone else show this before during Destination Playstation. Didn't Benji say it's more than likely that stuff wouldn't be shown like dates at Destination Playstation?

I think it's this year but this leak probably aint it

 

[Modest_Modsoul]

My birthday month. : )

Awesome if true; a 2019 release.

 

[Masagiwa]

Why have I seen this picture before? Wasn't it some twitter account that shared this image during the PS Destination event?

 

[wollywinka]

My body is ready! The dilemma I have is whether to get a PS4 Pro this late in the generation. Although I'm an Xbox gamer, I have a PS4, I just haven't used it for about three years. I recently decided to catch up on some PS4 exclusives, but my launch PS4 sounds like a hairdryer. I'm not sure why :(

It was before or at the first day of Playstation Destination.

There's no way they remaster it and try to sell it again for PS5. My moneys on PS4 BC with a "PS5 patch" that enhances it.

Era->web->Era

 

[Mifec]

Hopefully they manga to write an above average story for a videogame again.

Are the same people that wrote 1 writing this?

 

[alexbull_uk]

I wouldn't be shocked if it turns out true. Can't wait regardless.

[TheBrokenMan]

Highly skeptical of a 2019 release date. I really want it to be but this and Death Stranding just feel like they're 2020 games.

Yes from the Arabian retailer.

I'm not sure if the game will come out this fall... I'm more inclined towards June 2020 with a remaster patch in Fall 2020 for PS5.

A last hoorah for the PS4

 

[monmagman]

I guess that's another GOTY tied up for Sony then.....that'll be two in a row.

I expect PS5 will natively play PS4 games as standard, although I wouldn't be surprised if, assuming this launches before the PS5, it gets a fresh marketing push and possibly a re-release as one of the PS5's key 'launch titles'.

 

[TheCrackedJack]

Sounds about as plausible as the Cleveland Browns winning the Super Bowl.

 

[big_z]

looks at site.... lol ya no.

 

[Dinjooh]

With Days Gone being in April, I could see Sony releasing in both June/July and September.

I've been expecting stuff like this for the PlayStation 5 announcement. "Not only will it play all of your PS4 games, but some will be receiving PS5 patches to run and look even better."

 

[Stonebeard]

That would make a very happy person. But I doubt it'll be out this soon.

 

[NHarmonic.]

Yes please. I need this in my veins.

 

[CrazyAndy]

That would be great, if true.

Of course they will.

Call it a complete/definitive edition, include DLC etc., and it will sell a ton.

Either that or they'll make seperate PS5 versions(for select titles) and make them cross buy

 

[Liam1884]

Why are we still taking release dates from retailers as gospel? These "leaks" are never, ever true.

Yes. Neil Druckmann.

Really. It's not that great a story. If it was a novel it would be a paperback on a drugstore spinner rack a movie straight to streaming. The story is so effective because contrary to what the games detractors and supporters both think it leans heavy into the strengths of the medium.

For instance that scene everyone brings up in the abandoned house after Joel's brothers that everyone loves, in a vacuum or just with other cutscenes isn't all that special. What makes it special is your in control of Joel when Ellie runs, you race on a horse trying to find her, you search the house trying to find her. By the time the cutscene starts the interaction already put you in the perfect place and it's those moments that make the story not the bog standard mushroom mutants as zombies and sad sad tropes laden dialogue.

 

[Saint-14]

I don't believe it.

October.


Perfect for halloween~

I believe in October..

Since when was it supposed to release in 2019...

 

[Mbolibombo]

Once a Swedish retailer had a release date for Kingdom Hearts 3 for Wii U.
I'm not going to take listings from supersmall markets seriously any time soon :P

With that said.. maybe, we know nothing about PS4 lineup for the second half of the year.

 

[OléGunner]

People are kidding themselves if they think Part II is a 2019 game.
ND need more than 3 years since UC4 to get a masterpiece out.

You would almost say that people have different opinions and perspectives...almost.
It's still funny to read though :-)

Hopefully this is true, only 7 more months to go.

[Andrew-Ryan]

If Sony are going to reveal the PS5 this year then it's plausible that they wont wait +1 year to release it. Could be a Q2 2020 release like Switch was. If that's the case then Sony needs to get the "big 3" out by Q1 2020. Lot of ifs but just throwing it out there.

 

[ron_bato]

The reason i'm skeptical is because it's allegedly an October release. Sony have abandoned that season for releasing big games.

So it's either this releases in September or my bet is May next year.

Would be cool for this to release this year though.
