Sony has made an announcement stating that Naughty Dog‘s The Last of Us Part II will be officially releasing on June 19. This comes after a previous announcement that the next installment in the popular series would be “delayed until further notice.”
As we begin to see an ease in the global distribution environment, I am pleased to confirm that The Last of Us Part II will arrive on June 19.

Earlier this weekend, news broke of a leak of spoilers and clips from the game online. Forbes stated that there is a rumor that the leaks come from a Naughty Dog employee who was disgruntled and tired of being mistreated. Naughty Dog added in a separate statement, “The Last of Us Part 2 will be in your hands soon. No matter what you see and hear, the final experience will be worth it.”
