Update

: Sony has provided IGN with the following statement:

As we’ve announced, The Last of Us Remastered for PS4 will release this summer. An official release date, though, has not yet been announced for the game. The release date is not June 13th. We will keep you posted on an official release date.

Our original story is below.

The Last of Us, one of last generation's best games , was a PlayStation 3-exclusive from Sony-owned Naughty Dog. Then, after a leak , Sony confirmed that it would also be coming to PlayStation 4 . But when? If some new evidence online is any indication, it could be as soon as next week.Even though this seems unlikely, there is some evidence worth sharing. The first piece of evidence comes by way of IGN reader John Wood, who provided us with this image of a circular from UK games retailer GAME. On it, as you can see, it says "Released 13th JUN," indicating that it may launch next Friday.Then, there's this Tweet from a GAME location in Barnsley, England, that also states that "#TheLastOfUs hits #PS4 next week!!"Interestingly, when challenged about the veracity of the claimed date, this GAME location doubled-down.However, now, GAME Barnsley has since Tweeted the following, while deleting the previous Tweets (which you can still see above in JPEG form).We were skeptical, so we called a local GameStop retailer here in San Francisco to see what they had to say. They had no information about a release date for The Last of Us on PlayStation 4.Interestingly, several months ago, online retailers indicated TLoU: Remastered would launch June 20th . Perhaps it's one of Sony's big E3 surprises, that The Last of Us' PlayStation 4 debut is within days of their press conference. Then again, maybe a mistake really was made.To further verify just what's going on, we've reached out to Sony for comment. In the meantime, we'll take GAME's word for it, and assume they made a mistake. But we'll keep our fingers crossed that The Last of Us: Remastered is perhaps only weeks away.The Last of Us originally launched on PlayStation 3 in June of 2013 -- almost exactly a year ago, right now -- and it was a masterpiece . It won IGN's Game of the Year 2013 award
