Some very solemn news has come from the developers of the highly-anticipated 'Uncharted 4: A Thief's End' title. The game previously announced to be released by the end of 2015 faces a delayed release date that puts it in Spring 2016.

Creative director Neil Druckmann took to the Playstation Blog to formally announce the bad news to the awaiting fans. He wrote:

"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. 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."

With all the content previously released it appeared the game was wrapping up fairly nicely, however the Naughty Dog developers have been moved to think otherwise.

This could actually be good news if one is to take into consideration the current state of the video game industry. More and more unfinished games are getting pushed out far before their time leaving fans less trusting of the gaming companies.

The longer wait may assure that the last chapter in the 'Uncharted' series is a completed game up to the standards of all the consumers.
