Gaming News: 'The Last of Us 2' in 2015; 'The Elder Scrolls Online: Imperial Edition'; Details for 'Battlefield 4' Player Appreciation Month Reward
There has been a lot of speculation on "The Last of Us," both on its sequel and possibility of coming to the PS4.
The latest talk now has been on the sequel, which a Sony insider source reported by PlayStation Universe has allegedly stated that "The Last of Us 2" may be coming to the PS4 in 2015.
This bit of information should be taken into the context that Naughty Dog is still working on the DLC, which means that there is still a lot going on for the first game in 2014. There's also the "Uncharted" game coming out as a PS4 exclusive from the same studio, so "The Last of Us 2" debuting as early as 2015 may be more reasonable than a 2014 release date.
But judging from the positive reception of "The Last of Us," fans can be assured more or less that a sequel is coming.
