The Last of Us Release Date Delayed Until June 18

Fans of Naughty Dog’s upcoming game The Last of Us were no doubt anticipating the game’s release on May 7, but it seems like you’ll have to wait a bit longer as Sony quietly pushed the game’s release date.

The good news is the delay will not be that bad as it’s being delayed by a little over a month to June 18, which BestBuy has confirmed to their pre-order holders. Since Sony has yet to make the news official, there’s no information at this time as to what exactly is the reasoning behind the delay.

Considering how much work has already gone into the game, we’re sure the six extra weeks Naughty Dog will take to release the game will work out any additional kinks. When you also consider their previous Uncharted series was one of the best series on the PlayStation 3 in terms of its graphic, story telling and action, then we can live with waiting for six more weeks.

At least we’ll have the demo to look forward to, right?

Next Batman: Arkham Game Expected For 2013 Release

We think it’s safe to say the majority of gamers enjoyed both Batman: Arkham Asylum and Batman: Arkham City, which is why any mention of another sequel is sure to set the Internet ablaze with rumors and speculation on what the next game could be.

During Warner’s investors call last week, Time Warner CFO John K. Martin said briefly mentioned the next Batman title by saying, “And we also have a strong games release this year, which will include the next release in the Batman Arkham franchise.” Martin goes on to say “we expect Warners to post another very strong year in 2013,” which leads us to believe the next Batman Arkham game to release this year.

As with most investor calls companies hold, very little information was given in regards to the game, its setting or who will be developing it. VG247 is reporting from their sources Rocksteady Studios, who were the developers behind both Arkham Asylum and Arkham City, will not be working on the next Batman: Arkham game. Fortunately for us, E3 is just four months away, which means we’ll most likely hear about the next Batman: Arkham game some time this June.
