Sony delays The Last Of Us Part II and Iron Man VR indefinitely due to coronavirus concerns

The Last of Us Part II and Iron Man VR have been delayed because of the coronavirus epidemic.

Sony made the announcement today on social media. “SIE has made the difficult decision to delay the launch of The Last of Us Part II and Marvel's Iron Man VR until further notice. Logistically, the global crisis is preventing us from providing the launch experience our players deserve,” they said in a statement.

The Last of Us Part II, which takes place five years after 2013’s The Last of Us, was slated for a May 29 release. This is the second delay for the highly-anticipated game; its original release date was February 21, 2020. Last month, HBO announced a TV adaptation of the video game.

Iron Man VR was set for a May 15 release. Developed by Camouflaj Teams, this game gives players the ultimate experience as Iron Man. The synopsis for the game reads, “Don the PlayStation VR headset to suit up as the Armored Avenger in an original Iron Man adventure! Using two PlayStation Move motion controllers fire up Iron Man’s Repulsor Jets and blast into the skies with an arsenal of iconic Iron Man weapons at your fingertips. Face off against Iron Man’s greatest foes in high stakes, action-packed battles. Upgrade tech in Tony Stark’s garage to customize Iron Man’s sleek suit and awesome abilities.”
