"The Last Of Us 2" is one of the highly anticipated sequels and speculations about it have been rife long before Naughty Dog announced that it is in the works. One of the heavily debated topics about the upcoming title is its released date. Just recently, new information surfaced online claiming a different release date distinct to previously rumored release window of the sequel.
The new claim concerning the release date of "The Last Of Us 2" came from 4Chan. While the website has a reputation of users leaking unreliable information from unknown sources, there are still several leaks coming from this site that are really accurate and legitimate. Therefore, readers should take the information with a pinch of salt.
"The Last of Us 2" according to $4Chan user cyhol, will be released on May 22, 2020. The user added that it was originally scheduled for release on February 2020 but due to some delays, it will be released a few months later than planned. It can be recalled that for several months, speculations about the February 2020 release date of the game have been widespread.
Ashley Johnson, the voice actress of Ellie, the main protagonist in "The Last of Us 2" in one of her interviews appeared to have slipped the February 2020 release date and later claimed that it was just a joke. The May 2020 release window from 4Chan is surprising since most of the speculations surrounding the release date of the upcoming sequel point to February 2020. It appears that the reason for the May 2020 release is for Naughty Dog to polish the game.
According to speculations, Sony is very careful about announcing the release date of the game to prevent any financial consequences in case the game comes later than the announced date. The 4Chan user did name the source of the information but there is no evidence to the claim. The details of the release date of "The Last of Us 2" apparently were gathered during the recent meeting between marketing executives of PlayStation.

As earlier mentioned, "The Last of Us 2" is one of the most popular sequels with countless and varying rumors, leaks, and speculations surrounding it. Since the game will be a PlayStation exclusive game, the most likely release date of the game would be within the same year as the release of the next generation gaming console from Sony, which is the PlayStation 5.
