Naughty Dog to rename Outbreak Day during the pandemic

Naughty Dog will change the name of The Last of Us’ celebratory Outbreak Day in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, the studio has recently declared.

“For the last 7 years, September 26 has been our opportunity to recognize and celebrate the incredible passion of The Last of Us community,” Naughty Dog wrote on Twitter. “However, as we though about the events of the last year and the challenges we all continue to face, we didn’t feel right continuing on under the ‘Outbreak Day’ banner.”

As such, 26 September will simply be The Last of Us Day.

The Last of Us Remastered and The Last of Us Part 2 are currently available on PS4.

About the author

Steve Wright

Steve's the owner and Editor-in-Chief of Stevivor.com, the country’s leading independent video games outlet. Steve arrived in Australia back in 2001 on what was meant to be a three-month working holiday before deciding to emigrate and, eventually, becoming a citizen.

Stevivor is a combination of ‘Steve’ and ‘Survivor’, which made more sense back in 2001 when Jeff Probst was up in Queensland. The site started as Steve’s travel blog before transitioning over into video games.

Aside from video games, Steve has interests in hockey and Star Trek, playing the former and helping to cover video games about the latter on TrekMovie.com. By day, Steve works as the communications manager of the peak body representing Victorians as they age.
