Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End has been delayed to spring 2016, Naughty Dog has announced. The game had previously been due to arrive at the end of 2015.
The developer says that the extra few months in development will allow the game to meet the “high standards that gamers have come to expect from a Naughty Dog title”. It appreciates, however, that the extra wait “will be excruciating” for fans who had been hoping to continue Drake’s adventure later this year.
“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,” directors Bruce Straley and Neil Druckmann said on PlayStation Blog. “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.”
The delay will come as a blow to Sony, which had been considering the game as its lead PS4 title for 2015. The platform holder has yet to announce any other major first-party PS4 titles for release this holiday.
It also leaves the window open for Xbox rival Rise of the Tomb Raider, the Xbox One and Xbox 360-exclusive adventure game that is due to arrive this Christmas.
