Shortly after the release of The Last of Us Part II, rumours about a PS5 remake of the first game began popping up. It has been a while since we last had an update on this, but according to reports this week, the remake will be coming ‘this holiday'. 

According to Jeff Grubb on the Kinda Funny Gamescast, sources have been claiming that The Last of Us Remake is coming out this holiday season, which would be anywhere from October to December. The remake could help Sony bulk out its holiday season line-up, particularly if God of War: Ragnarök ends up being pushed to the first half of 2023.

The Last of Us Remake was first revealed in April last year, led by Naughty Dog once again with some assistance from PlayStation support studios.

The Last of Us has already appeared on two different console generations. The original version launched on PS3 back in 2013, before quickly receiving a remaster for PS4. The game was further enhanced once the PS4 Pro released, allowing for higher resolution gameplay. This new remake would look to take full advantage of the PS5's hardware.

If true, The Last of Us Remake isn't the only project in the franchise that Naughty Dog is currently working on. Currently, the studio is also working on The Last of Us Part II's multiplayer spin-off.

KitGuru Says: The Last of Us Part II looked incredible, so if we can get something that brings the first game up to that same standard, then it might be worth the upgrade and another playthrough.

Update (25.10.19): Naughty Dog has now confirmed that The Last of Us Part II has been delayed. While the February release date was announced just four weeks ago, the developer team has since realised that there is more work left to do than initially anticipated. As a result, the game will now come out on the 29th of May 2020.

The Last of Us director, Neil Druckmann, posted a letter to fans explaining the quick change of plan. While press previews for the game were all very positive last month, after reassessing each section of the game, the developers realised that there wasn't enough time to bring everything up to an ideal level of polish. Naughty Dog could have prioritised polishing some areas over others and hitting the release date, but ultimately, they didn't want to compromise.

“While we’re relieved that we won’t have to compromise our vision, we’re disappointed that we weren’t able to avoid this exact situation. We wish we could’ve foreseen the amount of polish we needed, but the size and scope of this game got the better of us. We hate disappointing our fans and for that we’re sorry.”

While this delay is disappointing, it will ensure that The Last of Us Part II lives up to the quality level Naughty Dog is aspiring for.

Original story (24.10.19): It has only been a few weeks since Sony first announced that The Last of Us Part II would be coming out in February 2020. Pre-orders have been going since then but unfortunately, sources are saying that the game is going to be delayed, with Sony expected to make an official announcement this week. 

Initially, The Last of Us Part II was due to release on the 21st of February 2020. Now according to Kotaku's Jason Schreier, multiple sources familar with Naughty Dog's plans have confirmed that the game has been pushed to ‘Spring 2020'.

Sony hasn't made an official announcement on this just yet but with the news already beginning to circulate, they will need to confirm or deny sooner rather than later.

Depending on where the new release date lands, we could see some increased competition as the first half of 2020 is stacked with big video game launches. Watch Dogs Legion, Final Fantasy VII Remake and Marvel's Avengers are due in March, followed by Cyberpunk 2077 in April. DOOM Eternal should also be landing in a similar time frame after being delayed out of 2019.

KitGuru Says: The Last of Us Part II is going to be a massive hit no matter what, but other games may end up getting delayed depending on the new release date. We'll have to wait for an official announcement but we should hear more soon.

As expected, last night's PlayStation ‘State of Play' stream brought along new announcements for The Last of Us Part II. There is a new 3-minute gameplay trailer, in addition to a release date announcement, which is set for February 2020.

The Last of Us Part II was first announced in late 2016 and reappeared in 2018 with new footage. Sony did not appear at E3 this year, so we weren't sure when we would get more news, although various leaks over the last week seemed to indicate that a new trailer and release date announcement was imminent. You can see the new trailer below:

The Last of Us Part II is coming out on the 21st of February 2020, continuing the journey for Joel and Ellie five years after the events of the first game. This time around, players will be controlling Ellie instead of Joel, with part of the story focusing on a mysterious cult operating in the post-apocalyptic US.

That is all we have for now, but it looks like the PS4 generation will be sent off with a bang as we approach the PlayStation 5's 2020 launch.

KitGuru Says: The Last of Us Part II is bound to be one of the most highly anticipated games of the generation. Are many of you planning on picking this one up in February?

It has been a long time since Sony or Naughty Dog has said anything official about The Last of Us Part II. This week, that silence was broken, with the game confirmed to be appearing as part of Sony's ‘State of Play' announcement live stream on the 24th of September. As usual though, leaks have spoiled at least some of the surprise, with a release date and different retail editions being revealed.

Swiss retailer, Softridge, began listing The Last of Us Part II Collector's Edition this week, in addition to a Standard Edition and a Special Edition. All three come tagged with a February 28th 2020 release date. This lines up with previous leaks, from earlier in the year.

Back in June, the voice actress for Ellie, Ashley Johnson, almost let it slip that the game was planned to release in February. Other sources also claimed that the game would be coming out in early 2020 after being pushed back a bit to give Hideo Kojima's Death Stranding more time in the spotlight.

Sony will be talking official details for The Last of Us Part II on Tuesday the 24th of September. We'll likely be getting a new trailer, a release date and the announcement of pre-orders going live.

KitGuru Says: There has been a long wait between the Last of Us and its sequel. How many of you are looking forward to The Last of Us Part II?
