Neil Druckmann has communicated on Twitter that they continue to work hard with Sony so that the delay of the PS4 game is not many months.
The indefinite delay of The Last of Us Part 2 is one of the most important news of this semester for the PlayStation community. The new Naughty Dog will be made to beg more than expected; This time not because the study needs more time, but because the coronavirus (COVID-19) is still in the process of containment and the health crisis has changed any industrial plan. Neil Druckmann insists: They want to launch the game "as soon as possible."
The vice president of Naughty Dog, also creative director of Ellie's new adventure, already stated on PlayStation Blogcast in early April that they are studying how to make The Last of Us Part 2 launch as soon as possible, as it is almost finished, in phase of "correction of the last bugs". This time it was on Twitter, where his message can directly reach more than 300,000 people, where he declared that they continue to "work hard with Sony" so that this latest delay is as slight as possible.
Fan This fan trailer is so damn good, had to come back to twitter to share. (We're still working hard with Sony to get you the game as soon as possible.) Now returning to my social media cleanse. ❤️ https://t.co/ppnGvT7tES

Another that may also be affected by COVID-19, given the dates it is planned, is Ghost of Tsushima, which will be released on June 26 exclusively for PS4. We do not know if Sony can get to raise that both games are released in June in the best scenario or if, on the contrary, The Last of Us Part 2 will be made to beg until during or after the summer.
No date for PS4: release plan paralyzed
Last week we learned, as The Last of Us Part 2 was no longer available for pre-purchase on the PS Store, that Sony was returning the amount of the reservation to players by both this and Marvel’s Iron-Man VR. Many have asked about the possibility of a demo of the game based on what the press could prove last September. However, Naughty Dog will not. Neil Druckmann explained in detail the reason for that decision.
The Last of Us Part 2 will launch exclusively for PlayStation 4 when it's finished and can be sold without being affected by COVID-19. Sony has not yet agreed on a new release date for the long-awaited title.
