Much-Anticipated Uncharted 4 Delayed To 2016

(RTTNews) - The much anticipated PlayStation 4 game "Uncharted 4: A Thief's End" has been delayed into Spring 2016 to allow for additional development time.

"Uncharted 4: A Thief's End" is an upcoming action-adventure third-person shooter platform video game published by Sony Computer Entertainment and developed by Naughty Dog exclusively for the PlayStation 4.

'It's become clear to us that this game is much more ambitious than we originally envisioned," directors Bruce Straley and Neil Druckmann wrote on the PlayStation Blog.

"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," they added. "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."

The news should be a big disappointment not only for PS4 users, but for Sony itself, which needs exclusive blockbuster games like this to compete against Microsoft Corp's (MSFT) Xbox One.
