Naughty Dog chose to delay the game so that more “ambitious” segments wouldn’t have to be cut from the final copy. “That’s one of our goals for this game to wrap up Nathan Drake’s story.”ĭruckmann also recently explained to OPM that refining the ending of Uncharted 4 was part of the reason the game was delayed from 2015 to 2016. “When you look back at it, it should seem really obvious that everything led to that point, and yet when it happens you should not be able to guess exactly how things are going to play out. The other thing is that an ending needs to be, on one hand, surprising, and yet, in hindsight, inevitable.”Īccording to Druckmann, Uncharted 4 is to be the send off for Nathan Drake.

Speaking to OPM (via GamesRadar), creative director Neil Druckmann said that all of the previous Uncharted games have led up to the ending of the upcoming installment to the series. Naughty Dog has gone on record to explain that Uncharted 4’s ending will not set up a sequel in any way, even if things are left “dangling.”
