From sony first party thread. If this's true then it's much sooner than I expected considering why Sony delayed the game to begin with. Also RIP Ghost's original release date.

Amazon Potentially Leaks The Last of Us 2's New Release Date (June 26, 2020)
- Thread starter Kolx
- Start date
What is Ghosts again? Wasn't like the same ish time. No way they don't delay one of them out of June.
Edit:yeah totally missed that in op it's the same day, no way

Maybe TLOU2 will get Ghost's date and Ghost is delayed a month?
I've been saying they won't delay this past the end of that quarter. It was already supposed to come out during the previous quarter already.

Probably a placeholder. Doubt they'd do it the same day as GoT, unless they're gonna push GoT back.
Well they obviously aren't releasing on the exact same day as Ghost of Tsushima so if this is true then that is getting moved as well.

Pretty sure Ghost of Tsushima will get delayed, too. Just like many more AAA games. Working from how does that to you.
That'd be silly, they'd probably just release ghosts and move the game that already doesn't have a date unless ghosts was already having issues before covid and needed the time.
This is what I predicted, Sony management in talks in delaying Ghost of Tsushima to give way to TLOU2 for June...
The refunds would have happened no matter what because of the PSN store's policy with games. You can't list a game without a release date, so they had no choice but to refund everyone when they couldn't provide a new definitive date.
I assume any and all dates are provisional until a new announcement is made. There's no real reason to keep that information close to your chest at this point, so I don't think Sony's trying to hide the date.
Does Sony want GOT to die?
I dk t think so.
I dk t think so.
My order didn't get canceled.
don't really care when they release it. they can delay it to June 2021 for all i care. i'm in no rush to play it.
This would be a pleasant surprise, but I'm also skeptical of any retailer-based date not being a placeholder.
Having it bump Ghost to give that game additional time to recover from any COVID delays of its' own also seems like a possible solution to the problem - but also a suspiciously clean one.
Personally, I'm still betting they just hold both until the PS5 launch. Leverage the need for a delay, get a head start on exclusives.

It isn't that unreal when you think about it. The game is done. They need to get it out. The pandemic is changing by the hour and a late June release seems possible. They would have to delay Tsushima a month or so but considering sucker punch is in one of the hardest hit Us cities by COVID I'm sure they'd be grateful for more time

True, but also you have to consider is it not only people are expecting tlou2 to release earlier, but also that tlou2 is pretty much done now while ghost of Tsushima should be done by then (and that's before taken into account the effect of covid-19 on development). GoT could use 1-2 months extra in the oven much better than tlou2.
They're not delaying either game for PS5. Both are PS4 games and will be released for PS4. You'll be able to play them on PS5 with backwards compatibility.
Did they cancel preorders? I never got an email or money returned to my account. I know they said they were but I never saw anything
Probably just a placeholder date. I doubt they'd say "indefinitely" if they were only gonna push it back that far. And from what we've seen so far, GoT seems to be coming out as originally planned.
Retailers usually pick 1st or last day of the month for place holders tho. This is a Friday and Tsushima's original date, would make sense to push GoT a bit for TLOU2.
Not just that...but Amazon is probably the place with more physical pre-orders for this game. I'm sure Sony have been in constant contact with them because of this huge release for them. So them knowing about it now wouldn't be shocking.
Or am i just reaching?

It shows as December 31st 2020 to me.
Oh sure, both will be playable on both systems. That's not in question. But if Sony can leverage the public's desire to play these games at their peak possible performance right at the moment of greatest possible hype - why wouldn't they?
If it's true, you shouldn't be celebrating. It would mean Ghost got delayed and they just haven't announced it yet
It was only a week ago (I know, it has felt like a lot longer at times) that it was announced as being delayed "indefinitely". Not saying it can't be true, but I'm guessing they just went with the next game as a placeholder.
At the very least, Sony are definitely not putting it and Ghost of Tsushima on the same day.

Might be a tentative date that Sony is not ready to announce yet, hence the game was pulled from PSN and is still delayed until further notice. The "further" being whenever Sony is sure enough about when they will be able to release it.
I imagine Ghost of Tsushima will need more time as well, so I can see that getting delayed and The Last of Us Part 2 takings its place.

It makes sense because I don't see Ghost making that date. If the game is done, you give it Ghost's date and give Sucker Punch another month or two to polish. Remember a week or two ago we were also looking at staying home until June or July and now we're seeing states planning on opening back up in some capacity. So saying indefinitely wasn't that crazy at the time.
