PS4 exclusive The Last of Us Part II will be released June 19, Sony confirmed in a Monday blog post. The post followed an indefinite delay earlier this month due to the global coronavirus pandemic. Ghost of Tsushima, another major exclusive, will follow on July 17.
Naughty Dog’s sequel to The Last of Us, which came out on PS3 in 2013, was scheduled to come out on May 29 before its delay, while Sucker Punch’s Ghost of Tsushima had been given a June release date, so their releases only slipped by a few weeks.

“I want to personally congratulate and thank both the teams at Naughty Dog and Sucker Punch Productions on their achievements, as we know it’s not an easy feat to reach the finish line under these circumstances,” Sony Worldwide Studios boss Hermen Hulst wrote in the post.
“Both teams have worked hard to deliver world-class experiences, and we can’t wait to see what you think of them when they release in just a few short months.”
On Sunday, videos from the Last of Us 2 began circulating on the internet. The footage contains some gameplay as well as multiple cutscenes filled with spoilers. Those anticipating the game will want to do their best to avoid having the game being spoiled for them.
Sony didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment on the leaked footage and who was responsible for the leak.
