The finishing line for Uncharted 4: A Thief's End must be slowly starting to take shape now, but Naughty Dog needs a few new employees to complete the game. Posting on its official website, it's listed a number of roles, including a multiplayer level layout artist, a multiplayer game designer, and more. According to the advertisement, the former recruit will be responsible for building "beautiful looking and beautifully playable multiplayer levels from existing single player art".
It's also looking for a few new additions to its ICE department, which regular readers will know is a semi-secretive studio committed solely to pushing the boundaries of PlayStation hardware. The graphics programmer role, for example, states that candidates will be "working on core technologies for the PS4 that will be used in every shipped title". It sounds like it's going to be a busy year for the Californian company, then – but we're sure that the hard work will be worth it.

Sounds like a last minute multiplayer add on, I don't hold high hopes then.
The Last of Us made me a lifelong fan, ready to gobble up anything they produce. damn now I want to play TLoU again xD turns on PS4
I hope this does not affect the planned 2015 release. I also would like splitscreen mp as in Uncharted 3, even if it makes it 30fps.
Im not to fussed if they have to delay Uncharted 4 to give us a quality product. I have faith in these devs. Besides, I'll be playing Rise of the Tombraider which will tide be over whilst we wait.
@Bad-MuthaAdebisi Uncharted and Last of Us had remarkably good multiplayer mode. I wouldn't be too worried, if you were a fan of multiplayer. I think they are just adding more temporary help to help development time. They already paused all other projects to get all development teams to focus solely on this project.
I actually read their job listings out of curiosity one day. My uncle thinks I should get a job as a game designer or some other development job. Considering how brain dead I am when it comes to tech, I think he's out of his mind.
@Bad-MuthaAdebisi I remember the cover story that Game Informer did briefly said that multiplayer is coming but the team wasn't ready to talk about it at the time. That was back in January, and since it's been a month, I'm assuming that it's in some sort of build now and they're just open to some ideas. Or like how NomNom said, they just need to help dev time.
Luv Naughty Dog They Rock !!!! Uncharted 4 is going to kick Tomb Raiders ASS !!!!
Hope its in 3D like the last one was
@Bad-MuthaAdebisi although a vastly different era, remember that the multiplayer for Goldeneye N64 was a last minute add on, done in less than a month and yet revolutionized the industry.
As NomNom says, Naughty Dog have pedigree (pun intended) with multiplayer with their prior ganes, so it's in good hands,
