‘Uncharted 4’ Has Been Delayed… Again!

Briefly: Sigh.

Were you looking forward to playing Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End on March 18th (after accepting that you wouldn’t be playing it this holiday season, that is)?

Well, sorry to be the bearer of bad news (again), but that’s simply not happening.

The impressive looking title has just received another, thankfully shorter delay, and will not be making its previously announced March 18th release date.

The reveal came via Playstation’s official blog, where Naughty Dog’s Neil Druckmann stated:

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.

These multiple delays seem to happen more often than not these days, but at least we’re bound to get an excellend title when Uncharted 4 finally does release. The game is now set for an April 26th release, and it better. freaking. make. it.
