Naughty Dog will host “Outbreak Day” under a new title due to real pandemic – exciting news coming

The last seven years Naughty dog every September 26th celebrated “Flash Day” associated with the in-game date of The Last of Us. The event will also take place this year, but will be renamed to “The Last of Us Day“The change is timed to avoid associating the celebration in the eyes of the players with the real outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic, which continues to have a detrimental effect on hundreds of thousands of people around the world.

The developers announced this in an open appeal to fans on Twitter, while promising “many interesting things” prepared for the upcoming event… It will take place this Saturday.

“For the past seven years, September 26 has given us the opportunity to celebrate and celebrate the community’s incredible passion for The Last of Us. However, as we reflect on the events of the past year and the challenges we all continue to face in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, we feel that it is not entitled to continue celebrating under the banner of “Flash Day.” While the name and date are deeply rooted in the franchise, September 26th is much more than just a significant day in the history of the game, it is primarily a way to show appreciation to all our fans.

That is why this Saturday and in the future, September 26 will be known as “The Day of The Last of Us”. The title not only recognizes the world around us, but also reflects the growth of the community as we welcome millions of new players through the release of The Last of Us: Part II. We have a lot of interesting things planned and we can’t wait to share all of this with you in just a few days! “

What exactly the studio wants to please fans is still unknown. Usually the team is limited to something like new merchandise or a fresh PS4 theme like it did last year. However, it is possible that this time the players will have something bigger. For example, the announcement of a standalone multiplayer extension for The Last of Us: Part II or game version for Playstation 5, and, perhaps, the latest news on the series The last of us from HBO
