If you were hoping to put your survival cap on with the PlayStation 3 exclusive The Last of Us, you are going to have to wait even longer to do so.

Sony announced that The Last of Us, which was originally set for release for the PS3 on May 7th, has now been delayed.  How long?  Five extra weeks, pushing its worldwide release back to June 14th.

The game’s developer, Naughty Dog, issued a statement regarding the delay, saying, “as a team we pride ourselves on setting a very high quality bar for every aspect of our games--gameplay, story, art, design, technology and more. We want to make sure The Last of Us raises that bar even further - for ourselves, and most importantly, our fans.”

The statement continued: “As we entered the final phase of development for The Last of Us, we came to realise just how massive Joel and Ellie’s journey is. But instead of cutting corners or compromising our vision, we came to the tough decision that the game deserved a few extra weeks to ensure every detail of The Last of Us was up to Naughty Dog’s internal high standards.”

So, there you have it.  You’ll have to wait longer, but expect more of a refined final product.
