UNCHARTED 4 A Thief's End Trailer

Uncharted 4 development began in 2011, shortly after the release of Uncharted 3. Amy Hennig, the creative director, and Justin Richmond, the game director, were in charge. The departure of Hennig and Richmond from Naughty Dog in 2014 slowed development; they were replaced by Neil Druckmann and Bruce Straley. The team aimed to add open-world gameplay aspects, with larger areas to encourage free-roaming exploration and battle. Nathan and Elena's friendship was key, and Naughty Dog strove to humanize them more than in previous games. A Thief's End was released for the PlayStation 4 in May 2016. It was Naughty Dog's first game created particularly for the PlayStation 4. The researchers used the hardware to process larger dynamic settings.
