The Last of Us Part 2 is no longer set to be released on PS4 on May 29, Sony and developer Naughty Dog announced today.A tweet today from Sony confirmed "Update: SIE has made the difficult decision to delay the launch of The Last of Us Part II and Marvel's Iron Man VR until further notice. Logistically, the global crisis is preventing us from providing the launch experience our players deserve." The company followed the statement with "Currently, there are no other delays to report, but we'll keep you updated."

Naughty Dog also released a statement on Twitter about the delay, which you can read in full below:
As you've likely just seen, the release of The last of Us Part II has been delayed. We're sure this news is just as disappointing to you as it is to us. We wanted to reach out to all of you in our community to give you a little more information.
The good news is, we're nearly done with development of The Last of Us Part II. We are in the midst of fixing our final bugs.
However, even with us finishing the game, we were faced with the reality that due to logistics beyond our control, we couldn't launch The Last of Us Part II to our satisfaction. We want to make sure everyone gets to play The last of Us Part II around the same time, ensuring that we're doing everything possible to preserve the best experience for everyone. This meant delaying the game until such a time where we can solve these logistic issues.
We were bummed about this decision but ultimately understood what's best and fair to all of our players. We're hoping that this won't be a long delay, and we'll update you as soon as we have new information to share.
We wish you all, your families, and your friends the best of health. Thank you for being amazing fans and your continued support.
Stay safe!
The Last of Us Part 2 first received a release date of February 22, 2020 late last year, coupled with a story trailer and our first chance to go hands-on with The Last of Us' long-awaited sequel.
Shortly after, Naughty Dog announced a delayed Last of Us Part 2 release date to May 29, with Naughty Dog's Neil Druckmann saying "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." And recent reports have alleged that The Last of Us Part 2 led to sustained crunch at Naughty Dog rather than alleviating development crunch.
The Last of Us Part 2 Story, Gameplay Details
The Last of Us Part 2 was also supposed to have its first public hands-on at PAX East 2020, but due to concerns over the spread of COVID-19, Sony pulled out of PAX East.
Sony and HBO also recently announced that a The Last of Us TV show adaptation is in the works, set to air on HBO with Druckmann and Chernobyl executive producer Craig Mazin behind the series. (And the TV show will replace The Last of Us movie that was in the works.) No casting has been announced, but we've offered plenty of suggestions for who should play Joel and Ellie in The Last of Us TV show.
For more on the upcoming sequel, we spoke to Druckmann about Joel's role in The Last of Us Part 2, why The Last of Us Part 2 isn't an open world game, as well as how dogs affect stealth and combat in The Last of Us sequel.

The Last Of Us 2's Story Will Be Divisive, Troy Baker Says
"The actor who plays Joel shares more teases for what to expect from the upcoming PS4 game."Quote
The Last of Us: Part II actor Troy Baker, who plays Joel in the series, has shared some tantalizing details about what to expect in terms of Joel's story arch and the game overall. Unlike the original game, you play as Ellie in the sequel, but Joel will still have time and space to grow. Baker teased that we will learn more about who Joel is as a person throughout the story of Part II.
"What we've done such a good job of doing [in The Last of Us 2], is to continue to peel back layers and learn more about him," Baker told Fandom. "I even learned more about Joel and I'm the guy that walked into [the Last of Us audition] and said, 'I know the truth about Joel!' I knew his truth back then, but [after The Last of Us 2], I know even more of [Joel's] truth."
For the overall story of Part II, Baker said he hopes the narrative challenges players' expectations of "what the game is, what the world is, who the characters are--everything."
Baker also said he hopes people can go into Part II with an open mind. The story in the sequel might not be what you expect, and this is best experienced with an open mind, he said.
"I think they will have a completely different experience than if they go in close-minded," he said.
Also in the interview, Baker recalled the first time he heard about what game director Neil Druckmann had in mind for Part II, which was years ago. Druckmann invited Baker to his home, and by the end of the hour that it took Druckmann to explain the story, Baker was in awe.
"By the end of it, I was silent--like I was sat at the feet of the greatest storyteller. It was an amazing story," Baker said. The actor also said he expects the story to be polarizing.
"I don't know whether people are going to like it or they're going to hate it, but they definitely will NOT be ambivalent about it," he said.
The Last of Us: Part II was scheduled to release in May, but Sony delayed the game indefinitely due to disruptions related to COVID-19. It currently has no release date. This is just the latest pushback for the game, as it was initially slated to release in February.
Following the news of the delay, developer Naughty Dog shared new screenshots of Part II.
