Iron Man VR too
The inevitable has finally happened. Amid everyone working from home and workflows drastically changing, PlayStation and Naughty Dog have been forced to delayThe Last of Us Part IIyet again.
PlayStation announced the setback in a simpletweetthis afternoon. It reads “[Sony Interactive Entertainment] has made the difficult decision to delay the launch ofThe Last of Us Part IIandMarvel’s Iron Man VRuntil further notice. Logistically, the global crisis is preventing us from providing the launch experience our players deserve.”
The Last of Us Part IIwas meant to finally launch on May 29. It has been oft-delayed — first informally asNaughty Dog missed its 2019 targetand pushed the game into 2020, and then formally as it wasdelayed from February until May. As PlayStation mentions, there’s no new release date to look forward to. Given how uncertain everything is right now, it’s pretty tough to predict timelines for completing projects.
However, there’s something of a silver lining. PlayStation also saysit doesn’t have any further delaysapart fromThe Last of Us Part IIandMarvel’s Iron Man VR.
[Update:Naughty Dog also released the following statement where the developer says: the game is nearly complete but it’s working on final bug fixes; the COVID-19 pandemic makes it logistically tough to launch the game near-simultaneously across the globe, and it wants to be able to do that; and that the studio hopes this delay won’t be long.]
