Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End werd al eerder uitgesteld tot 18 maart 2016, maar vandaag werd door de ontwikkelaars bekendgemaakt dat de game opnieuw wordt uitgesteld. We zullen slechts vanaf 27 april kennis kunnen maken met Nathan Drake’s nieuwe avonturen, vijf weken later dan gepland.
Hoewel de game zich in een vrijwel afgewerkte fase bevindt, is er nog wat extra tijd nodig om ‘bepaalde sequenties’ te verbeteren.
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.
On 27th April, 2016 (29th April for UK) the most ambitious installment in the Uncharted series will be in your hands.
