On this joyous Festivus night, Naughty Dog’s Neil Druckmann and Bruce Straley will begin with the Airing of Grievances. The developers have a lot of problems with adventurer Nathan Drake and they’ve announced plans to delay his upcoming game, Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End. Druckmann and Straley confirmed the news be writing the following on the PlayStation Blog:
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).
Previously set to launch on March 18, Naughty Dog “needs a bit more time to finish the game so that it meets [their] standards and vision.” Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End will now launch exclusively for the PS4 on April 26, 2016.
