"Uncharted 4: A Thief's End's" release date is slightly delayed, according to Venture Beat.

Recently, "Uncharted 4" had released their multiplayer beta for select players and for those who got the "Nathan Drake Collection." There was a contest where those who won got copies of the game as prizes. The multiplayer beta launch had problems at first, but it was fixed later on. So far, players have enjoyed the multiplayer experience of the game.

Today, news came from the guys from Naughty Dog themselves. Fans will be disappointed because "Uncharted 4: A Thief's End's" release date will be delayed yet again, according to IGN. Instead of releasing the game as a PlayStation 4 exclusive on March 18, it will now be coming out on April 26. It is a slight delay of the game, but some players can't help but get disappointed of the update.

In a post on the PlayStation Blog, Naughty Dog's Neil Druckmann and Bruce Straley announced that the game needs a bit more time for development so they could put on the finishing touches for the "largest Uncharted game to date," according to PC Mag.

"This is our largest Uncharted game to date, and the team has been working incredibly hard to meet the challenge of closing out the game's development in a timely manner," said the directors. "However, as we approached our final deadlines and started wrapping up the game's levels, we realized that several key sequences needed extra resources to bring them to the finish line."

"After carefully considering all of our options, we decided to extend our schedule, making sure that we get a few more polish passes before submitting our gold master (the final disc for manufacturing)," they continued.

Aside from "Uncharted 4: A Thief's End's" release date being delayed, the game will have two physical, limited edition versions of the game, according to Gamespot. The first one is the special edition with a price tag of $80 and the second one is the Libertalia Collector's Edition with a price tag of $120.
