The world is currently in the grips of a devastating pandemic that?along with killing tens of thousands of people?has upended and disrupted the economies of pretty much every industry in some way or another. We?ve seen countless event cancellations as lockdowns are initiated and the remainder of the year is left in question. Companies have also been forced into work-from-home scenarios, creating interruptions in development workflows and timelines. It?s also left supply chains severely impacted, which has created messy release scenarios for major games. We?ve seen the effects of it firsthand this past week with Final Fantasy VII Remake both releasing early and having delays in its physical shipments, which will spread its launch out from a single day to across more than two weeks. So will that culminate in a Ghost of Tsushima delay" Yesterday, Sony and Naughty Dog announced a delay for The Last of Us Part II. They didn?t just kick it down the road a month or two. This is an indefinite delay, citing logistical issues with supply chain and release that would make a unified launch experience impossible. Naughty Dog is also working from home which is probably putting some strain on the final months of development, though Sony and Naughty Dog both claim that the game is basically finished and the delay has nothing to do with needing more time to work on it.
