Uncharted 4: A Thief's End gets delayed until 2016!

Fans of the Uncharted franchise for PlayStation received some upsetting news today when developer Naughty Dog announced that the newest game, Uncharted 4: A Thief's End, is getting delayed until 2016.

Bruce Straley and Neil Druckmann, the game’s directors, announced that the game would be pushed back until Spring of 2016 but did not give a hard date in the announcement.

"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."

This is definitely upsetting news but maybe the extra time spent on the game will make it shine that much more. Are you upset that you'll have to wait longer to play as Nathan Drake once more?
