Jason Schreier/Kotaku: The Last of Us Part II Delayed to Spring (May 29th 2020) [UPDATE: Confirmed by Naughty Dog]

At this point I'm just going to wait to play TLoU II and GoT on PS5. I can wait a few months for the best experience.
Remember when Red Dead Redemption 2 was delayed a solid year? Few months is disappointing but not the end of the world
We know MP is being worked on, it's not like they've decided to start after the backlash.
....Are you serious?
RDR2 multiplayer was part of the 'plan' for the game from the beginning - they just couldn't get it out the door in time (and/or wanting people to go through single player first)
That and 'we decided to focus 100% on single player, so no multiplayer (for now) are HUGELY different ideologies in terms of assigning resources.
We know they are working on a standalone multiplayer game, yes.
I don't mind honestly. There is a lot of upcoming games that I will still be playing by the time March hits. Outer worlds, Death stranding, Pokémon, call of duty, Star Wars, and luigi's mansion will last me a good deal of time.
And Then there is FF7 remake. I think last of us 2 initially being released in close proximity with ff7 remake could be a reason as to why it's delay.

My most anticipated game gets extra few months of polish, I have more time for FF7 and Cyberpunk....I don't see a problem here.
They're trying to have their cake and eat it next year.
I hope this doesn't hurt GoT and sucker punch. I know GoW2 came out after the PS3s launch, but that was over a decade ago and GoT is a brand new IP.
We know it's being worked on as a separate entity completely unrelated to TLOU2. It started as factions, but it's evolved from that and is going to be a standalone title. We know all of this, ND themselves has hammered over and over that it will not be part of TLOU2. It sounds like it'll be a similar feel/possibly same universe, but it's not going to be a part of this game. Let it go folks.
Consoles like Playstation/Xbox/Nintendo don't need killer apps at launch. They're going to sell out anyways. Sony would much rather release their biggest game ever to the widest install base possible. The game releasing only on PS5 would be cutting their potential sales to literally 10% maximum(more like 3 or 4%) of what they could have been on PS4(with 100M Ps4's out there and by the end of 2020 maybe 4/5M PS5's).
Edit: This is all at launch obviously. The game will still sell years down the line, but obviously for much cheaper.
lmao still don't see how people think a multiplayer is gonna be added when they mentioned its more of a standalone.
also yeah this the truth.
I think the internal power struggle and TLoU 2 are completely separate things.
Of course it was.
So was an online mode for The Last of Us Part 2:
The multiplayer team is clearly working on something, as given by the follow up by Naughty Dog:
Then Bruce Straley straight up said they were working on multiplayer:
These are facts. There is a long trail of evidence of The Last of Us Part II having some sort of multiplayer that has been worked on.
Think clearly. Think logically.
We shouldn't be surprised by this but I'm pretty shocked. Gaming media has said TLOU Pt. 2 was supposed to be out this Fall and got pushed to Feb. Naughty Dog also just came out and said they held off on giving a release date because they wanted to make sure it was one that would hit lol. After the delays of Uncharted 4 and the original TLOU I can't say I'm surprised by this.
I will say, with those other delayed games they came out and were excellent so I'm fine with waiting. I also will feel much less pressure as Part II was originally coming out two weeks before FFVIIr so now I will be able to take my time with the game when it does come out.

Alright I'm done with this.
"think clearly think logically" take some of your own advice here. They've said definitively "multiplayer will not be a part of last of us 2" the mp team has come out and said they are working on something and we will see it soon, but it is not part of TLOU2. It might be in the same universe, but it's going to be a standalone title separate from TLOU entirely.
Also ffs your post implied it takes approximately 1 month to make an entire MP, nice try spinning away from that though.
Most of Era doesn't understand how game development or really software for that matter works tbh despite thinking they do
It feels like common sense to know that an entire game doesn't take 1 month to slap together.
So like when The Last of Us released in June 2013 a few months before release of the PS4 it was also a mistake? Seems like it worked ok for both PS4 and the game.
Sorry, have there been any recent reports of them crunching their workers? I haven't been paying attention.
I'm totally okay with the delay but why the fuck have a State of Play just for the release date trailer just a few weeks ago?
Or......you know, just don't announce games so long before release. I know people hate on Bethesda now but if they nailed one thing it's how they handled Fallout 4's announcement and release.
Now I don't expect Sony to follow that completely, but it can't hurt to just ease down a little on announcing stuff way too early. We've had several examples of that this generation. Sure, they do make for a great show though.
And come on, it was a month ago that they had a special show thingy to announce the release date of the game, among other things. That's real unusual and my guess is this is for MP.
If these huge studios take an entire generation to release one game we need more studios. How can it take 6 years to produce a product? It's not like it's a new invention, you're writing a story and animating it, not inventing the airplane in 1900.
It makes sense to me.
They are now going to implement the useful feedback they received from the people who were at the event.

And we know the original plan was to include it in the game. Anyway, I said it's the only excuse I would accept but I don't think it's going to happen either.
There have been several over the years. A new report released earlier this year.
Well...if that means i won't have The Last of Us and FFVII close to each other, i'm all for it.
yup we know that... and we know once they saw how it was coming out they changed their minds and decided to flesh it out. Let it go.
Can't be complaining about devs having to crunch then moaning about a very slight delay. What's a few months in the grand scheme.
They announced release date what, 5-6 months before release? Is that so far in advance?
They already said they won't announce their games too early anymore.
There's nothing for me to let go of, I said I don't think is going to happen.
The only reason this feels weird to people is that they had a big launch announcement. Otherwise delays like this are extremely common. I do wonder what the hell is up with Ghosts of Tsushima considering they have been working on that game for the entire generation.
