Let’s start with the good news: 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. 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 North America of April 26, 2016 May 10, 2016.
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).
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 April 26, 2016 May 10, 2016, the most ambitious installment in the Uncharted series will be in your hands.

I’m sure that it’s all for the best that it’s delayed. Making it right is always better than throwing it out there. I’ll be waiting a lot longer than that to get it. I have to wait until I can afford a PS4, since there’s no PS3 version. Played all the games several times. I will content myself with writing the fan fiction of Nate’s daughter’s adventure in the mean time.
It’s fine, we can wait for this :3
Aww Man Dx I was hoping for this game but oh well we can wait longer :)
No biggie, I’m sure everyone is happy to wait a few extra weeks if it means that the end result will be as perfect as Naughty Dog can make it
Take all the time you need!
It’s for the players :)
What is happening to Naughty Dog? Seems like you are stringing people along with imaginary titles to sell PS4’s for Sony.
You just delayed it in September, now hit up another delay.
What is happening is that they are developing a HUGE game and they care about QUALITY… delays happen, not the end of the world.. It actually makes a game better, shows they care so much about quality rather than just making $ that they delay a game to make it better….
