In a statement, the company said that it wasn't due to delays in development, but more a logistical delay due to the effects that the coronavirus has had on the economy.





Developers Naughty Dog also released a statement earlier today saying, "We want to make sure everybody gets to play The Last of Us II at around the same time, ensuring that we're doing everything possible to preserve the best experience for everyone." 






The game was originally set to launch in February but was moved back to a May 29 release date. Sony is waiting to announce a new release date.
