Rumors about the game being pushed back The Last of Us II was confirmed by the director, Neil Druckmann. Through the PlayStation Blog, Neil explained the reason for the postponement of the game because he wanted to improve the quality of the game itself.

The game which was previously announced to be released on February 21, 2021, was officially postponed to May 29, 2021. Here is the official statement from Neil Druckmann regarding the postponement of the game The Last of Us II:

“We realized that we didn’t have enough time to bring the whole game to a level of polish that we considered quality Naughty Dog. At this point we are faced with two choices: leave it alone or increase the time (development). We decided to increase the time, and with this new release date it allows us to get things done the way we want without putting too much stress on the team.
“We are also disappointed that we could not avoid this situation. We really hope to be able to predict the time it will take to polish the game. We hate to disappoint the fans and for that we apologize.
We hope you understand that this additional development time ensures that The Last of Us Part II will be present in accordance with our ambitions as well as our commitment to bring the best quality.” – Neil Druckmann
