Naughty Dog‘s game has been struck by the sword of Damocles in the guise of COVID-19, which is why we have no clue when Ellie’s and Joel’s story could continue, The Last of Us Part II.
Recently, we talked about how at least three games have already been hit with delays due to the coronavirus – regarding Wasteland 3, we just mentioned briefly that it got delayed to August, but two PlayStation titles, namely The Last of Us Part II (PlayStation 4-exclusive) and Marvel’s Iron Man VR (PlayStation VR-exclusive), both planned to arrive in May, were discussed separately how they got delayed indefinitely. Neither titles have even a release window at the moment.
To make up for the unfortunate events, Naughty Dog has released a new batch of screenshots of The Last of Us Part II, but the unknown leakers (who could very well be Naughty Dog employees or people related to the dev team…) went a step further by leaking three videos. One of them was previously removed from YouTube per request of Sony Interactive Entertainment, but it’s not only pointless, but we’d also like to say „good luck removing these videos from Streamable.”
The first video has Ellie ride a horse with Dina… with Thai subtitles for some reason (we don’t get it either), the second one is slightly longer, but only its end is important, as it features a guitar minigame, and the third video is short with no action, just a brief look at a forest area in the game.
The Last of Us Part II’s potentially final release date is yet to be seen, and we wouldn’t like to guess either. The game is planned to launch on PlayStation 4, but at this rate, it’s possibly going to get a PlayStation 5 version as well. (The devs say they are fixing bugs, sure…)
