Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End, one of the biggest games of the year, will now release two weeks later than expected, hitting stores worldwide on May 10th.
The game’s previous release date was pegged for 29 April, which was already a delay following the initial March release date.
“You know, Naughty Dog is wrapping up production on Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End with the game on track to go gold and into production later this month,” wrote Shawn Layden, President and CEO for SCEA, in a statement on the Playstation Blog.
“In an effort to meet the considerable worldwide demand, and to ensure that all gamers worldwide have the opportunity to play the game on day one, we have chosen to postpone the launch of the game by two weeks to allow for extra manufacturing time,” he went on to say.
Layden added: “We know this news might be disappointing, and we are sorry to have to make you wait a little longer to play Naughty Dog’s latest. The good news is that the game is phenomenal — we are fully confident that it will be worth the wait and the team at Naughty Dog is eager as ever for you to experience Nathan Drake’s final adventure.”
Sigh.
At the very least, it’ll be a better game for it, or it should be. As much as it sucks, we would rather have a delayed game than an unpolished one.
That is to say, Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End is an immensely ambitious project; you should expect delays.
