Uncharted 4: A Thief's End is an upcoming action-adventure video game published by Sony Computer Entertainment and developed by Naughty Dog exclusively for the PlayStation 4. Initially teased at Spike TV's PS4 launch event on November 14, 2013, a full in-engine trailer confirmed the title during Sony's E3 2014 press conference on June 9, 2014. The game is set to release in 2015.

Several years after the events of Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception, Nathan Drake, who retired as a fortune hunter, will embark on a globe-trotting journey in pursuit of a historical conspiracy behind a fabled pirate treasure. Naughty Dog outlined the game's plot as "his greatest adventure yet and will test his physical limits, his resolve, and ultimately what he's willing to sacrifice to save the ones he loves".[1]

Development

On November 14, 2013, Naughty Dog released a teaser trailer of the next Uncharted saying that it will be coming exclusively on the PlayStation 4. The trailer featured voice over by Todd Stashwick, who was to play a character in the game.[2] The trailer shows an ancient map of the African continent while the voice over can be heard. The map stops at Madagascar and Île Sainte-Marie is marked, which was part of Sir Francis Drake's travel route. A Latin sentence is written next to the drawing of a skull: Hodie mecum eris in paradiso (which translates to "Today shalt thou be with me in paradise"), a quote from Luke 23:43.[3]

In March 2014, it was announced that Amy Hennig, the series writer and creative director, and Justin Richmond, Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception and Uncharted 4: A Thief's End's game director, had both left the studio, joining Visceral Games and Riot Games, respectively.[4][5][6] In April 2014, Todd Stashwick, who voiced the narrator in the teaser trailer and was set to play a character in the game, was announced to no longer be involved in the game, with the role being recast.[7]

In June 2014, Naughty Dog co-president Evan Wells revealed that The Last of Us game directors, Neil Druckmann and Bruce Straley, were now leading the project in Hennig's absence.[8] At the Sony E3 2014 press conference in June 2014, the title of the game was revealed to be Uncharted 4: A Thief's End along with a 2015 release window.[9]
