Mark your calendars. The Last of Us Part II review embargo is dropping on 12 June 2020 at 09:01 South African time / 12:01 PT. The news comes from a tweet from Greg Miller who tweeted his copy of the game claiming he will be reviewing it. In addition, Greg mentions the time and date in which reviews will be going live for the upcoming Naughty Dog PS4 exclusive.

Review copies being sent out this early is nothing new. Naughty Dog announced a few weeks ago that the game was gold which means it is finished. It takes a few weeks from going gold before media get their hands on the build for review purposes.
I have it.
I’m playing it.
I’m reviewing it.
