Back in May Kotaku’s Jason Schreier tweeted out a potential release date for February 2020 for Naughty Dog’s sequel. This was at the same time as a November release date for Death Stranding, which definitely happened. Look at that tweet again:
Looks like Death Stranding is about to get announced for a November release. The Last of Us 2 was also planned for fall 2019 but I actually just heard it got bumped to early 2020, possibly February? Either way, wild final year for PS4 https://t.co/wh6kimA73b

Now, over on ResetEra video game analyst Daniel Ahmad has confirmed this. His posting is very to the point: the internal date for developer Naughty Dog is in fact 2020. There is no formal announcement yet so this could be moved, but this game might be dropping less than 30 days ahead of Final Fantasy 7 Remake, so PS4 owners can expect a wild last year of the console.
