VIDEO GAMES: Playstation Delays Naughty Dog's UNCHARTED 4: A THIEF'S END To April
The wait for Naughty Dog's Uncharted 4: A Thief's End just got a little bit longer. Earlier this week, Playstation announced that they've delayed Nathan Drake's next adventure about a month to late April.
For those of you that were planning on picking up Uncharted 4: A Thief's End on March 18 and then playing non-stop for a week until the release of Batman v Superman: Dawn Of Justice... you may want to recalibrate your plans just a bit.
Playstation & Naughty Dog announced Wednesday that Nathan Drake's highly anticipated next adventure won't hit stores until April 26, 2016, which is coincidentally a week ahead of the arrival of Captain America: Civil War, so the game would probably be a great way to spend your week as you wait to see Cap & Iron Man go at it on May 6.
In a joint-statement from creative director Neil Druckmann & game director Bruce Stanley, they explain their reasoning behind pushing the game back:
This is our largest Uncharted game to date, 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 approached our final deadlines and started wrapping up the game’s levels, we realized 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).
So, what do you guys think? Excited? Sound off with your thoughts below!
Set three years after the events of UNCHARTED 3: Drake’s Deception, Nathan Drake has presumably left the world of fortune hunting behind. However, it doesn’t take long for adventure to come calling when Drake’s brother, Sam, resurfaces seeking his help to save his own life and offering an adventure Drake can’t resist.
On the hunt for Captain Henry Avery’s long-lost treasure, Sam and Drake set off to find Libertalia, the pirate utopia deep in the forests of Madagascar. UNCHARTED 4: A Thief’s End takes players on a journey around the globe, through jungle isles, urban cities and snow-capped peaks on the search for Avery’s fortune.
