Fans are never happy to hear about game delays, and this is a big one: Uncharted 4: A Thief's End has been pushed back to 2016.
PS4 System Update 2.50 Details Leaked, Adding Ability To Resume Games From Rest Mode
The next entry in Naughty Dog's popular franchise was originally meant to launch this year, but a post on the PlayStaton Blog today announced that it will not release until Spring 2016. Naughty Dog Creative Director Neil Druckmann penned the post, and explained the team's decision to delay launch:
"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."

While waiting for a game you really want to play is a pain, it's also hard to complain that te developers want to deliver a better product. Especially when considering the amount of games that have been launching broken over the last year, puttng extra effort into making sure the final experience is as polished as possible will benefit everyone in the end. CD Projekt Red is taking the same path with The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, and hopefully both major releases will be worth the extra wait.
