UNCHARTED 4: A Thief's End will not launch in March 2016, developers Naughty Dog have announced.

 



Uncharted 4's release date has been pushed back on PS4



 

The game was originally expected to launch in 2015 but has seen several delays due to quality control and will now see its release date on April 27, 2016 in the UK.

Uncharted 4 directors Neil Druckmann and Bruce Straley explained why the latest change to the worldwide launch, which had been rescheduled for March 18, was needed.

"Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End is wrapping up production and is shaping up to be the proper send off for Nathan Drake that we’ve promised you," they revealed in a PlayStation blog post.

"The bad news is that we need a bit more time to finish the game so that it meets our standards and vision. Let’s cut to the chase, Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End has a new release date in the PAL region of 27th April 27, 2016 (29th April in the UK).

 

Uncharted 4 has been delayed again by Naughty Dog

 

"This is our largest Uncharted, and the team has been working incredibly hard to meet the challenge of closing out the game’s development in a timely manner.

"However, as we started to approach our final deadlines and started wrapping up the game’s levels, we realised that several key sequences needed extra resources to bring them to the finish line.

"After carefully considering all of our options, we decided to extend our schedule, making sure that we get a few more polish passes before submitting our gold master (the final disc for manufacturing).

 

"Pushing the date is not an easy choice, and we wouldn’t do it if we didn’t feel in our hearts it’s the best course of action for the game.

"To you, our loyal fans, we hope you’ll accept our sincere apology.

"We know many of you have been waiting patiently for Nathan Drake’s final chapter, and now we humbly ask you to wait a bit longer."
