Uncharted 4: A Thief's End is an upcoming action-adventure third-person shooter platform video game developed by Naughty Dog and published by Sony Interactive Entertainment for the PlayStation 4 video game console. It is the sequel to Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception, and is the fourth and final installment in the Uncharted series starring Nathan Drake, as well as the last in the series to be developed by Naughty Dog. The game will be released worldwide on May 10, 2016. Uncharted 4: A Thief's End received widespread acclaim, with applause mostly given to the narrative, visuals, and gameplay. Three years after the events of Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception, Nathan "Nate" Drake, now retired as a fortune hunter, has settled into a normal life with his wife Elena Fisher. His world is then turned upside down when his older brother Sam, long believed to be dead, suddenly reappears seeking Drake's help. Along with Victor "Sully" Sullivan, they embark on a race against time, across the globe, from the snow-capped peaks of Scotland to the island nation of Madagascar, in pursuit of a conspiracy behind Libertalia, a long lost pirate colony, and its fabled pooled pirate treasure. Nate must also contend with rival treasure hunter Rafe Adler, who has hired mercenary Nadine Ross, and her private military corporation, Shoreline to help him locate Libertalia. 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". The game was originally set to be released in 2015. On March 11, 2015, Naughty Dog confirmed that Uncharted 4 was delayed to March 18, 2016 to allow for additional development time. It was delayed again on December 24, 2015 to April 26, 2016. On June 4, 2015, Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection which is a remastered version of the first three in the series, was announced for the PlayStation 4. Players who purchased the collection gained access to Uncharted 4's multiplayer beta which started on December 4, 2015 and ended on December 13, 2015. The collection released on October 9, 2015 in North America. On August 31, 2015, A Special Edition, Libertalia Collector's Edition and Digital Deluxe Edition, which includes several different in-game items and bonuses, were announced by Sony.[50] The series' first single-player downloadable content was also announced on the same day.

A preview of the game was attached to the theatrical premier of Star Wars: The Force Awakens.
