Uncharted 4 pushed back into 2016
A Thief's End to release in spring of next year.
It has just been confirmed that the planned release of {Uncharted 4: A Thief's End} has slipped, and Naughty Dog's next game is now to be released on PlayStation 4 in spring of next year.
Naughty Dog's Neil Druckmann explained the reasons for the delay in a post over on the PlayStation Blog, and we've added the full statement below:
Since we showed you our first gameplay reveal of Uncharted 4: A Thief's End, more of the game and story have come together, and it's become clear to us that this game is much more ambitious than we originally envisioned.
After spending so many years with Nathan Drake, he means a lot to the team, and telling the climactic chapter of his adventures is a task we don't take lightly - this game deserves every bit of the attention to detail, precise pacing, and nuanced storytelling Naughty Dog is known for.
So we've made the difficult choice of pushing the game's release date. Giving us a few extra months will make certain that Uncharted 4: A Thief's End not only meets the team's high standards but the high standards that gamers have come to expect from a Naughty Dog title.
Thank you for your patience - we know the extra wait will be excruciating, but you'll see it will be worth it as we reveal more about Uncharted 4 over the next year. The team at Naughty Dog will be heads down working through 2015 making sure that Nathan Drake's story gets the closure it deserves. Come Spring 2016, you and Nate are in for one thrilling, emotional ride.
As long is it makes it a better game, it's hard to complain too loudly. That said, we were certainly looking forward to this one, so it's shame we've a while longer to wait.
