News & Reviews:   Naughty Dog

The year was 2013 when Naughty Dog's video game hit "The Last of Us" came out on the PlayStation (PS) 3. Back then, I was a freshman at a university and I didn't have the luxury to own a gaming console. So I did what every poor man and woman gamer did - binge-watch the campaign story mode on YouTube and call it a day (HAHA). 

Even though I have never played the game, you could tell that it was definitely one of the greatest games ever made and many still consider it as so. Eventually, The Last of Us Remastered came out for the PS4 then it was followed by The Last of Us Part I (PS5 exclusive) which is a faithful remake of the original. However, is this just a cash-grab attempt by Naughty Dog and Sony Interactive Entertainment?

Many people were disappointed when Sony first announced that a few of its upcoming PlayStation 4 exclusives were to be delayed indefinitely. But it seems that The Last of Us Part 2 won't be delayed for too long after all. Sony has decided that the new release date for the game will be set to summer 2020.

Some gamers might be really disappointed when they hear the news of Sony pushing back the launch of The Last of Us 2 indefinitely. As a game that was supposed to launch in February, it has been delayed once until 29th May. However, Sony made the latest announcement to further delay the launch as they are facing logistical issues due to the pandemic. Few days ago, the Vice President of Naughty Dog, developer of the game, posted a tweet saying they are working hard with Sony to launch the game as soon as possible.

Although the animated movie was cancelled last month, it would seem that we're still going to get to see The Last of Us on a TV screen. According to The Hollywood Reporter, it has been confirmed that HBO is working on a TV series for the game and will have the help of Craig Mazin and Neil Druckmann.
