“We’re right now looking at all sorts of different options. What’s the best way to get it to all our fans as soon as possible?, ” said Druckmann. “That’s going to take time for things to shift and to figure things out and also see where the world’s at – things are changing from day-to-day.”

As far as the digital release of the game is concerned, Naughty Dog hasn’t settled on a final decision for the digital release. It is possible that things might change with time, but so far, nothing is confirmed according to Druckmann.

“There hasn’t been a final decision yet. Right now we’re just reacting to… it’s a different retail chain, whether we could get physical copies to people, is the internet infrastructure there to support all countries?”

He added: “This is a worldwide game that people in every country are waiting for and we want to make sure that we’re fair. If we just get to a small fraction of people, what does it do to all the people who don’t get it?”
