Forced hand?
Last month,Sonyannounced that The Last of Us 2 and Iron Man VR were being delayed indefinitely due to “logistical concerns”. However, we now know The Last of Us 2 will release on June 19 - just three weeks after its initial release date of May 29.
The company revealed the new release date for The Last of Us 2 shortly after massive spoilers for the game leaked online, leading to speculation that the leaks forced the company’s hand.
Even if you have seen the spoilers, there’s nothing quite like experiencing a game for yourself - and hopefully Naughty Dog is right in that the leaks haven’t taken away from fans' experiencetoomuch.
Fortunately there’s not long left to wait until we find out.
