With the release of a new trailer for The Last of Us Part II earlier, Naughty Dog's Neil Druckmann has penned a blog post outlining the studio's excitement for the release, and what to expect from potential physical edition delays.

　　The post, which appears on Naughty Dog's website, is full of praise from Druckmann for the hard work and effort the team at the studio have put in over the years. This follows a few weeks of chaos for the team, as The Last of Us Part II was delayed by Sony due to COVID-19 before most of its narrative beats were illegally obtained and leaked on the internet.

　　There's also a tease that more might still be on the way leading up to launch, with Druckmann writing, "As we ramp up for this final stretch before The Last of Us Part II arrives in your hands, there's still more we're looking forward to sharing with you, beginning with the debut of our all-new story trailer that provides a brief look into the next chapter in Ellie and Joel's story."

　　Druckmann mentions that players who have ordered physical editions of the game should double check with local retailers to confirm availability. The Last of Us Part II launches exclusively on PS4 on June 19, but considering the varying policies regarding public lockdowns across the globe, it's not possible for Sony to promise that everyone will be able to get physical copies in time. Alternatively, PSN pre-orders for the game are back online.

　　If you miss the trailer from earlier today you can catch it above, as well as check in with out hands-on coverage of The Last of Us Part II from last year.
