The Last of Us Part I for PC delayed to March-end – Times of India

Game developer Naughty Dog has announced that The Last of Us Part I’s PC release has been postponed by “just a few weeks.” The game which was initially set to come out in early March, will now arrive at the end of that month. In a Twitter post, developer Naughty Dog revealed, “We initially announced The Last of Us Part I PC release would be March 3, but we’ve decided to push its launch date out by just a few weeks; it will now be released on March 28.”
The Last of Us Part I is the next-gen remake of the original game that was released in 2013. It is currently available on PS5 exclusively with a PC port in the works. A live-action series adaptation of the game is also available right now and, hence, the franchise is trending online.

Talking about the re-emergence of interest in the franchise due to the HBO series, Naughty Dog said, “Hearing your love for the HBO adaptation, seeing your beautiful Photo Mode shots, and learning about how the world and characters our studio created nearly a decade ago continue to reach new and old fans alike floors us every day.”
Naughty Dog wants The Last of Us Part I PC to release “in the best shape possible”
Keeping in mind that the game has never been released on PC before, Naughty Dog expressed its intention to ensure that, besides the existing fanbase, those who try out the game for the first time also get the best possible experience.

The company noted, “… We realise many of you have been excited to jump in – some for the first time – when Part I hits PC … And so we want to make sure The Last of Us Part I PC debut is in the best shape possible.” Emphasising the importance of the extra time, the developer added, “These additional few weeks will allow us to ensure this version of The Last of Us lives up to your, and our, standards.”
