While fans have expected a PS4 release date to "Uncharted 4: A Thief's End" this year, there are speculations that the highly anticipated game would most likely be launched next year.
While they did not mention the exact date to when the game will be released, game directors Bruce Straley and Neil Druckmann explained the reason for the delay.
"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," Druckmann and Straley said.
"We've made the difficult choice of pushing the game's release date," Straley said in a PlayStation blog post. "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."
Furthermore, the game director also revealed that "Uncharted 4: A Thief's End" is progressing well and that the motion pictures for the game is already done, iDigital Times reported.
Druckmann also added that he is very confident that the upcoming game will not only be successful but he also hopes to inspire other game makers to up the ant when it comes to creating better games for the fans.
"I hope its success inspires other developers to, even if you're making an action game, take your characters seriously and treat them honestly," Druckmann said as reported by IB Times. "Really love your cast and wrack your brain about how you -- through gameplay, through interactivity -- get the players to connect more to those characters no matter what game you make, whether you make an RPG, a shooter or a choose a branching adventure game."
Unfortunately though, the PS4 release date to "Uncharted 4: A Thief's End" will be the last for the franchise according to Naughty Dog.
"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."
