Glad they did this. Right now, there is no "proper" window to launch a game. Its now or fall but even then who says people will be able to go out and shop en masses?

Even Next Gen launch is not 100% certain for fall i would say.

Wow I wonder if recent events had any impact on that. Ghost of Tsushima pretty close to it too.

Shame, because it definitely means Ghost is getting delayed then and I was looking forward to that more, but TLOU 2 should be alright

Logic:
"We need delay for now, no new release date yet."
-There's a global pandemic, impacting worldwide shipping and the jobs of all people. They need to get their ducks in a row.
Gamers - Indefinite? It's obviously now a PS5 launch title.

"Okay here's the new date."
We've prepared our shipping and distribution lines while we've finalized the game.
Gamers - Leaks did this. (meaning either leaks made them release a game that isn't ready or made sony ignore their concerns of global pandemic)

The fact that Iron Man VR wasn't given a new release date yet; wonder if those TLOU2 leaks really pressed Sony to announce a date for that sooner.

How do you know that?
They delayed a game that they said was already complete "indefinitely" and refunded everyone, only to re-announce it'll release 20 days after the original date.
Indefinite delay + refunds = we can't release our biggest game during a pandemic and have no idea when it will be fine to release it
New release date only 20 days later = guess releasing games during the pandemic is fine

Ghost of Tsushima essentially on my birthday. Happy that TLOU2's new release wasn't too much further.

Good. At least we're finally over posts like "they are just delaying this for PS5"
Seriously though. Amazing news. This is better than i expected tbh.

Neat, a day after my birthday.

Glad to see I was wrong on it being another Twilight Princess.

Seems a little convient. That's the second time they have done something a day after something else happened.
I'd love an actual study on if leaks have ANY correlation to buying/not buying a game anyways.
My money would be on people buying the game if they planned to, whether or not they get spoiled. If you planned to buy LoU2, you're going to buy it regardless of what you read.
