Pray to your chosen prophet, perform a rain dance, and tell your family and friends that you love them: Uncharted 4: A Thief's End is finished. According to a slew of Naughty Dog tweets, the developer delivered the final build of the hotly anticipated PlayStation 4 exclusive to Sony yesterday. This is called "going gold" in the industry, and means that the title's complete.
Well, kind of. The studio will probably begin working on the title's day one patch now, while the release is manufactured. Bizarrely, the game was delayed yet again recently to account for additional production time, meaning that while the adventure's finished, you won't be playing it for a couple more months.
It's going to be a long wait, but with development wrapped up, at least we know that there's little chance of it being pushed back again. Interestingly, if the outing had stuck to its original launch date, we'd all be enjoying it now. Boo!

Let's just hope that the place thats printing the disks doesn't get hit by an act of god haha
Can't wait for this game!
@WARDIE Haha, true. Or the ship that's sent to deliver the discs sinks...
They need almost 2 months for manufacturing? How many copies are they making? Fallout 4 went gold 2 or 3 weeks before it hit shelves, and that was a huge release. Just seems a bit weird.
@get2sammyb Haha Please no, I take it back haha
@WARDIE I was thinking the same thing. The first batch will have those little tabs missing that form into the circle that holds the discs in...
@glassmusic Oh crikey please no... I hope I haven't hexed it now haha
@get2sammyb @glassmusic @WARDIE WHAT HAVE YOU GUYS DONE
I still reckon they moved U4 to keep it away from Dark Souls 3 because of the business relationship they have with FromSoftware and Bandai Namco.
I know this is jerkish, but I almost want to see it delayed again just to see how deus ex machina it will get.
Jokes aside, hopefully it's smooth sailing here on. We'll see when that date hits.
Yeah! Can't wait
I pre-ordered on the PS store so don't need a disc, so can I have it now please Naughty Dog?
Been catching up with Nathan drake collection in anticipation just got the last third of uncharted 3 to play through, so the timing not been to off for me. I really hope it's more like number 2 than the others. I can't quite put my finger on the differences but it's just much more fun than the other two installments.
Good to hear. Still don't get why they need about a month and three weeks to print disks though. Is pre order demand really that high?
About f**king time. After all the crap from kicking Hennig off the project to the delays this better end up being the absolute best game Naughty Dog has made to this point.
I can't wait!! I wish they would move the games release 'forward'!!
@SKC_Diamond
LOL. My thoughts exactly.
That's what you think. Where there is a will, there is a way.
@Gamer83 If it compares in quality to Last of Us, that would be good enough for me but I understand those have placed very high expectations on this title. The debs themselves have placed high expectations, luckily it is Naughty Dog and in my experience they always deliver.
About time! Now they can start working on The Last of Us 2.
