Two of Sony’s biggest games have new release dates.
The consolemaker pushed back the previously-announced May launch of The Last of Us Part II a few weeks ago, but it looks like the game will still make it out the door this Spring. Writing on the PlayStation Blog today, Sony’s Hermen Hulst revealed that Naughty Dog’s sequel will be available in stores for the PS4 on June 19.
Hulst also confirmed that Sucker Punch’s Ghost of Tsushima will be delayed as well, and it’s now expected to be released for the PS4 on July 17.
The executive went on to thank the development teams for their hard work as the whole world grapples with stay-at-home orders in the face of the coronavirus:
I want to personally congratulate and thank both the teams at Naughty Dog and Sucker Punch Productions on their achievements, as we know it’s not an easy feat to reach the finish line under these circumstances. Both teams have worked hard to deliver world-class experiences, and we can’t wait to see what you think of them when they release in just a few short months.
The new release date for The Last of Us Part II comes in the aftermath of a major leak from within Naughty Dog that is currently making its way around the Internet. Several cutscenes from the game were uploaded to YouTube yesterday, as well as screenshots showing levels and plot points. So be on guard if you want to stay unspoiled.
