April 27th 2016:
As you know, Naughty Dog is wrapping up production on Uncharted 4: A Thiefs End with the game on track to ship out later this week. In an effort to meet the considerable forum demand, and to ensure that all gamers worldwide have the opportunity to play the game on day one at 1440P, we have chosen to postpone the launch of the game by one more month in order to downgrade some of the game in order to increase the resolution.
Therefore, Uncharted 4: A Thiefs End has a new worldwide release date of May 27th, 2016.
We know this news might be disappointing, and we are sorry to have to make you wait a little longer to play Naughty Dogs 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 Drakes final adventure in glorious 1440P. This move will surely allow you, our most loyal ND fans to win internet arguments because now your favorite Playstation title natively runs at unprecedented resolutions.
We thank you for your continued support for PlayStation.
New Release Date for Uncharted 4: A Thiefs End
(Fast forward to May 18th)
May 18th, 2016
As you know, Naughty Dog is wrapping up production on Uncharted 4: A Thiefs End with the game on track for release soon. In an effort to meet the considerable demand of patient fans and curious gamers, and to ensure that all everyone worldwide have the opportunity to play the game earlier, we have chosen to release the game VERY soon under one caveat:
We saw the way Street Fighter V released earlier this year and we sought to take some cues from them:
We are proud to announce that the game's graphics have been downgraded to a variable 900P/60fps for the campaign! With this move, it made it easier to just outright cut out several chunks of the game and throw in some QTE scenes to make up for it. We'll deliver more story content over the next coming months. Look here *Link to PDF file with month by month breakdown of new content* to see what's in store.
Therefore, Uncharted 4: A Thiefs End has a new worldwide release date of RIGHT NOW!!
Yes, I'm sitting next to grace chen right now and she just hit the button. UNCHRTED 4 IS OUT!!!! Please Understand. We'll deliver more of our amazing campaign later this fall so you can get a taste now. The portion that's out today are the two demos from E3 downgraded of course.
Enjoy!!
