i would be so so happy with a twau release.. but i don't have a lot of hope on that
in another message: “also i just realized that said tlou 2, but your flycatcher caught me lol. i hope they aren't pushing to release earlier than they need to”
oh, my friend, how I would kill for the Wolf Among Us 2. but alas, I don’t have hope for it either after TellTale fell through.
I don’t think they’re pushing TOO much? I could be wrong, though. Naughty Dog seems (read: SEEMS) to have a reputation the past several years of not really pushing their staff, such as with how long it took for the release of Uncharted 4 or to even get a hint of the Last of Us Part II. But then, that delay could have been just a result of Amy Hennig moving away from Uncharted prior to Uncharted 4’s major construction and the potential of not knowing what a story would or would not be for the Last of Us Part II.
STILL. Earlier this year, Naughty Dog said they were considering a fall 2019 release depending on how much beta testers and other staffers they could get in that regard. So they either didn’t get exactly what they wanted or they decided to push the date back and allow time for their staff to not crunch. I haven’t seen any news on Naughty Dog going into major staff crunching in general, but... we’ll see! So far, I’m doubting even a February 2020 releas date like that “leak” said. I’d much rather them delay the game for another year or more than push their staff through crunch!
