Naughty Dog Announces Release Date and More for The Last of Us Part 2 – Tristan Zelden

UPDATE (Oct. 26): Naughty Dog announced the game will be delayed to May 29, 2020.

Two years of silence, and now Naughty Dog gave the world some information on the sequel to the 2013 release, The Last of Us

Last year Anthony Newman, the game’s co-director, told Polygon the new title would have multiplayer like its predecessor, but that changed to opt out of having an online mode. Newman said, “I know we had kind of announced that [it would have multiplayer], but as the game has developed, it’s become so ambitious, so grand in scope, and so intricate in its complexity, that it really required the full focus of the studio to deliver this single-player experience.”

Standard comes with the base game for $59.99. Some in-game goods are given like an ammo capacity upgrade, crafting training manual, and digital pre-orders get an avatar of Ellie’s new tattoo.
