Uncharted 4 Delayed a Fortnight

In a post to the PlayStation blog, Shawn Layden the CEO of Sony Computer Entertainment America has revealed a new release date for Uncharted 4: A Thief's End.

Here's the post in full:

As 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. 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.

Therefore, Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End has a new worldwide release date of May 10, 2016.

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.

We thank you for your continued support for PlayStation.

So although it seems odd that they would state that the game is not yet finished, the official reason given is that they need two more weeks to press the discs required to meet expected demand.

So expect Uncharted 4: A Thief's End on 10th May instead of the end of April, only on PlayStation 4.
