from Naughty Dog announces a little counter-synergy, as following the
breakout success of
The Last of Us television series, the release of the
PC edition of
The Last of Us Part I is being delayed by a few
weeks:
Let's get right to it: We initially announced The Last of Us Part I
PC release would be March 3, but we've decided to push its launch date out by
just a few weeks; it will now be released on March 28. We at the studio have
been completely blown away by the outpouring of love and support for The Last of
Us these last few weeks. Hearing your love for the HBO adaptation, seeing your
beautiful Photo Mode shots, and learning about how the world and characters our
studio created nearly a decade ago continue to reach new and old fans alike
floors us every day. We know a lot of you have been revisiting the story that
started it all with The Last of Us Part I on PlayStation 5 console, and we
realize many of you have been excited to jump in – some for the first time –
when Part I hits PC.
And so we want to make sure that The Last of Us Part I PC debut is in the best
shape possible. These additional few weeks will allow us to ensure this version
of The Last of Us lives up to your, and our, standards. We are so excited to
bring The Last of Us Part I to a new platform, reaching new and returning
players with Joel and Ellie's unforgettable story of survival, and we hope that
you'll continue to look forward to its PC release on March 28. The Naughty Dog
team appreciates your support and enthusiasm, and we look forward to sharing
more about The Last of Us Part I PC version soon.
Endure and Survive, Naughty Dog
