Uncharted 4 Launch Delayed Again for April 2016
PlayStation 4 exclusive game Uncharted 4: A Thief's End has been delayed again and this time for five weeks. The launch date has been deferred to April 26th, 2016 in North America and April 27th in Europe and UK. Previously, the game was set to be launched worldwide on March 18th, 2016. According to the PlayStation Blog, Neil Druckmann and Bruce Straley said that the game developers, Naughty Dog, requires "a bit more time to finish the game so that it meets our standards and vision," According to the PlayStation Blog
He continued: "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 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)." They also added that this extra time will be used by Naughty Dog to ensure that the game gets "a few more polish passes" before the final version is sent for disc production. "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," as reported by GameSpot.
