Today Neil Druckmann the Creative Director at Naughty Dog announced that The Last of Us will be delayed until June 14th worldwide. The orignal release date was May 7th.
Neil at Naughty Dog said they need a few more weeks to polish the game, in a statement on the PlayStation Blog:
“As we entered the final phase of development for The Last of Us, we came to realise just how massive Joel and Ellie’s journey is. But instead of cutting corners or compromising our vision, we came to the tough decision that the game deserved a few extra weeks to ensure every detail of The Last of Us was up to Naughty Dog’s internal high standards.
“As a team we pride ourselves on setting a very high quality bar for every aspect of our games – gameplay, story, art, design, technology and more. We want to make sure The Last of Us raises that bar even further – for ourselves, and most importantly, our fans.
“The extra wait will be very short and your patience will be rewarded. Update your calendars. You won’t even have to change seasons. The Last of Us will be available June 14, 2013. Until then, know that we will be working extremely hard to deliver an experience that matches your high expectations.”
We absolutely loved the demo, so we’re hoping this extra polish will be worth it!
