We should caution you that this date might not necessarily be accurate. This is because the official date has yet to be announced which means that for all we know, the date listed could be a placeholder. However a release in 2019 does seem to corroborate the claims that we heard back in 2017, plus it feels like enough time has passed since the game was announced so it could be due this year.
The original The Last of Us was released in 2013 which means that a good 6 years has passed since its release. The game was exceptionally well-received by gamers which is why many are eagerly anticipating its sequel. Not much is known about the sequel for now but hopefully come E3 2019 there will be additional details that will be shared. Either check back with us in the coming months for the details, but until then maybe don’t get your hopes up for an October release just yet.
