The Last of Us Part II Leaks: Are There Any?

The Last of Us Part II leaks have been few and far between. Developer Naughty Dog and publisher Sony Interactive Entertainment have managed to keep most of the details about the game out of the public conversation, but there are a few bread crumbs for fans to follow ahead of release. Here are all the leaks and rumors about The Last of Us Part II.

The Last of Us Part II Leaks: Are There Any?

Only a single leak has come out about The Last of Us II. A few days ahead of the State of Play event that revealed the game's initial release date of Feb. 21, a German retailer listed the game would become available Feb. 28. Although the leak was incorrect, it was only off by a single week.

That release date is now irrelevant, as Naughty Dog delayed the game until May 29.

No further leaks have come out about The Last of Us Part II, but rumors abound. The game's rating from the ESRB suggests that, in addition to the blood and gore, intense violence and sexual themes of the first Last of Us, Last of Us Part II will feature nudity, sexual content and the use of drugs. This would make The Last of Us Part II the first Naughty Dog game to feature nudity.

Another pair of rumors focus on job listings for Naughty Dog positions. The first sought a programmer experienced with online systems, suggesting a potential online component for the game. Sony confirmed in the September 2019 State of Play that the game would launch without a multiplayer element, but Naughty Dog suggested some kind of Last of Us multiplayer experience would arrive at some point in the future.

The second job listing sought an employee with PC programming experience, adding fuel to the speculation about a PC port of the game.

For any more information about the game, players will need to wait for news from Sony and Naught Dog.
