One of the PlayStation 3's multiple swansongs, Naughty Dog's The Last of Us, has been delayed by around six weeks.On the
US PlayStation Blog, Naughty Dog Creative Director Neil Druckmann confirmed that the game will be launching on June 14. It was originally scheduled to release on May 7. Interestingly, that means the adventure game has been moved from the traditional US Tuesday release to a Friday one.
"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," Druckmann wrote. "We want to make sure
The Last of Us raises that bar even further – for ourselves, and most importantly, our fans.
"As we entered the final phase of development for
The Last of Us, we came to realize 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."
