'Uncharted 4' Release Pushed Back To April 26

The Uncharted series has always been a staple for Sony, as it attracts many fans to the PlayStation. In recent shows, the developers at Naughty Dog showed off bits of the series’ latest installment, Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End. A release date was set for March 18, 2016, but the team announced that the game would be delayed for another month, with a new release date of April 26.

In fact, this isn’t the first time that Uncharted 4 suffered a delay. The game, which is supposed to be the final adventure for the protagonist, Nathan Drake, initially had a release window sometime earlier this year in the fall, but the release date was pushed to March to allow more time for development.

GOOD! Still not going to pre-order but for those who want in on the day one excitement maybe they'll avoid some frustration.

"The Uncharted series has always been a staple for Sony"? Are you kidding me? Sony was around a LONG time before they made the Playstation, much less the Uncharted series. Uncharted franchise is not even that old. What a ridiculously false statement!

Poor choice of words on the "always has been a staple for Sony" I agree. Sony was founded in 1946, whereas the first Uncharted was 2007 and that's on the PS3 not even the original PS1.

Hopefully other developers note a solid game is worth the wait. I've been so disappointed in recent years my first reaction to seeing a delay is "hopefully that means it's not crappy".
