Naughty Dog’s Neil Druckmann and Bruce Straley have given Uncharted fans a bundle of really great news and really bad news. The release of Uncharted 4 has been delayed until April 26, 2016.
Uncharted 4 Delay Might Dissuade Fans
The game, exclusive to the PS4 console, has just now wrapped up production. According to Druckmann and Stanley, directors of the new Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End, Nathan Drake will do all of the fans proud. They have declared that the upcoming game is the send off that the developer promised all of its fans or Nathan Drake. In order to perfect it, though, they decided to delay the North American release to April, 2016.
Sales of the Game Might Drop
Will this affect their sales? Potentially. Uncharted is an incredibly popular game in the PS4, especially for new gamers that now own the PS4 with the Uncharted bundle. According to the directors, this installment of Uncharted is the most ambitious yet. The game just isn’t quite at the finish line, which prompted the delay.
How Will the Fans React to this Delay?
The fact that the team has decided to push back the game’s launch will annoy many fans. All things considered, true Uncharted fans will understand that this is a sacrifice made to get the best follow-up to the series possible. The team end the blog posts asking fans to understand, and to look forward to the best and most carefully crafted installment of the Uncharted series.
For Now, All Gamers Have Are Trailers
Three weeks ago, Playstation released a new trailer for the game. It surely brings a lot of excitement to old and new fans alike. Hopefully, it will be enough for gamers to hold on to until April of next year. The latest trailer teases at the relationship between Nathan and Sam, his long lost brother.
They will both fall into the world of treasure hunting, and Nathan’s love of treasure will be tested against his love for family. The game will be exclusive to the PS4 and as stated by the team, will hopefully be released on April 26, 2016. There’s no telling if more delays lie ahead for this game, but it will definitely be worth the wait. The new game features the best graphics yet, and Naughty Dog has never been a company to disappoint.
