I hope you’ve not been waiting for Nathan Drake’s latest adventure before jumping in to the new generation of consoles. Naughty Dog’s next game is beautiful, and the sort of thing that will likely sell systems – but it’s been delayed. Originally set for release at the end of this year, it’s been delayed to the Northern Hemisphere’s spring in 2016.
Here’s a statement from Naughty Dog.
“Since we showed you our first gameplay reveal of Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End, more of the game and story have come together, and it’s become clear to us that this game is much more ambitious than we originally envisioned.
“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 – 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.
“Thank you for your patience – we know the extra wait will be excruciating, but you’ll see it will be worth it as we reveal more about Uncharted 4 over the next year. The team at Naughty Dog will be heads down working through 2015 making sure that Nathan Drake’s story gets the closure it deserves. Come Spring 2016, you and Nate are in for one thrilling, emotional ride.” – Neil Druckmann and Bruce Straley
Well that sucks.

So I’m guessing Sony will finally release that PS+ edition of Drive club in it’s place to keep people busy till then

Even if they did. That game is so not worth it, I’d rather get Project Cars.. If it ever releases that is.

The Batpanda does not approve of treasure hunters and their ilk. Cancel this game altogether!

In the meantime can Naughty Dog give us couple of “free” DLC’s for Last of US

The wallet is relieved, but it would still have taken the beating happily to play uncharted 4 this year.

Remember this if Quantum Break is delayed as well, or will it be excused because of “secret sauce”?

I’d rather play a perfected game than a broken game. Take your time, I’ve got lots of porn to keep me busy till then.

I think the games that are unexpected are the ones that will be worthwhile. I am really loving Dragon Age now that I am giving it a fair chance. Point is, Hype can detract from your expectations and after the very average Order 1886 it is reasonable to say that Drake can fall fowl to the same problem. Delay it to make it better.

This saddens me… But, as they say, if it’s gonna be epic, it’ll take time. Happy they rather delay than release broken!
And after SO many delays with other major titles, this one kinda doesn’t hurt as much – guess I’m getting used to it… 2015 – the year of the delay!
