Actually, The Last of Us: Part II should have been available this month, but the situation around the corona virus thwarted the plan. But at least now it seems to be certain that nothing should get in the way of the new appointment.

The unclear situation surrounding COVID-19 and the coronavirus initially caused Naughty Dog and Sony to postpone indefinitely regarding The Last of Us: Part II. That was a hard blow for the fans of the sequel, after all, the potential blockbuster should be available in a few days in May.
In the meantime, there was an all-clear, because the new date falls on June 19, 2020, which "only" meant a shift of three weeks compared to the planned release date. And this date should really be kept.
Reason: Naughty Dog personally confirmed today that Neil Druckmann has achieved gold status. The important milestone means that the development of the title has now officially been completed and the sequel is now complete. Until the release, Naughty Dog should therefore only be doing a maximum of bug fixing, which could result in a possible day-one patch.
"We wanted to let you know that we have achieved gold status. In April we told you that we had to move the game outside of our control due to global circumstances and logistical problems. This took us a few extra weeks to fine-tune and Now that we have a release date, we have submitted our Gold Master, "said Druckmann.
The discs are now reproduced for the classic box version in the press shop and the necessary files for the digital version are positioned on the PlayStation Network. "You will be able to hold our game in your hands in a few weeks," promises Druckmann.
Reaching gold status usually brings with it a huge party in the studio, but the situation surrounding the corona virus ensures that the numerous employees are simply at home. That is why Druckmann used the path via Instagram to thank the workforce for what they had achieved.
The PlayStation 5 is practically in the starting blocks, but before that the PS4 celebrates its farewell. These firecrackers still appear for the current Sony console.
