“The Last of Us Part 2” is one of those games that will make waves in the industry by the mere mention of its name. So when a retailer might have potentially leaked its launch date, it is only natural that it would pick up steam. If the details of the leak are to be believed, gamers can expect the survival action game to launch in October. However, there is every chance that this could be fake.
As Comic Book reports, this particular leak came via the retailer LawGamers, which released a promotional photo of the game with the caption indicating its October launch. However, there is no specific date mentioned, so fans were spared that. On that point, there is also currently no way to know if the leak about “The Last of Us Part 2” is even authentic.
Fake launch promotions and the like have become commonplace in the digital age where any image is quite easy to edit. This might have been nothing more than a stunt on the part of the retailer, using the hype surrounding “The Last of Us Part 2” to boost its own brand.
The best source of information with regards to “The Last of Us Part 2” is still Naughty Dog. For anyone who really wants to be sure that they are getting the right insight into how far along the game is in development, waiting is the only option. Then again, it’s not as if speculating about its potential launch window is hurting anyone.
Taking what legendary composer Gustava Santaolla said about the project involving “The Last of Us Part 2” that he worked on, for example, it would appear that the game will come out “very soon.” With there being multiple ways to take this information, though, there is no telling when “soon” actually will be.
