Sony has pushed back the release date for Uncharted 4 by two more weeks

Those who have been counting the days until the release of Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End will have to count a little longer, as the game — originally slated to be released in 2015 — has been delayed yet again, this time to May 10.

“As you know, Naughty Dog is wrapping up production on Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End with the game on track to go gold and into production later this month,” SCEA president and CEO Shawn Layden wrote yesterday on the PlayStation Blog. “In an effort to meet the considerable worldwide demand, and to ensure that all gamers worldwide have the opportunity to play the game on day one, we have chosen to postpone the launch of the game by two weeks to allow for extra manufacturing time.”

Uncharted 4 is already no stranger to delays. After the game was pushed from 2015 to March 2016, it was pushed back once again by a month in the final days of 2015. For gamers who have been waiting since 2011’s Uncharted 3: Drake’s Deception for another game in the franchise, this will hopefully be the last time the game is delayed.

“We know this news might be disappointing, and we are sorry to have to make you wait a little longer to play Naughty Dog’s latest,” Layden writes. “The good news is that the game is phenomenal — we are fully confident that it will be worth the wait and the team at Naughty Dog is eager as ever for you to experience Nathan Drake’s final adventure.”

If nothing else, the delay will give gamers a little longer to decide which version of the game two buy. In addition to the standard $60 version of the game, two different collector’s editions will be available. The Special Edition of Uncharted 4 sells for $80 and includes a steelbook case, art book, and sticker sheet, while the $120 Libertalia Collector’s Edition includes all that and a statue of Nathan Drake.

As has been the case with many high-profile PlayStation 4 game releases, Uncharted 4 is also getting its own limited-edition version of the console. The console and controller both come in a color that Sony calls “Gray Blue,” with the console featuring the Uncharted logo and PlayStation logo in a classy-looking gold.

PlayStation Network is back online after nearly 24 hours

After first going offline on Friday night, PlayStation Network came back online Saturday evening. The 20+ hour downtime makes it one of the longest PSN outages in history. Despite the PlayStation Status page showing green lights across the board, it took several hours before all services were restored.

Just after midnight on February 9, Ask PlayStation shared a post on X announcing that services had been restored. In addition, "All PlayStation Plus members will automatically receive an additional five days of service," per the message.

PlayStation Network is still down after more than 12 hours

Last night, PlayStation Network went down across the globe — and it's still not back online. The number of complaints about the outage peaked around 7 PM, with more than 14,000 users reporting issues at DownDetector. When the service first went offline, many players assumed it was temporary — perhaps overloaded servers on a Friday night — but you still can't log on, and the outage has revealed more cracks in Sony's network.

Sony posted on X that the company was aware of the outage and suggested players check status.playstation.com for more information. Unfortunately, every single indicator from Account Management to PlayStation Direct is currently offline, and there isn't an estimated resolution time in sight.

Sony axes two more live-service games, including one God of War spinoff

In an apparent response to the Concord disaster, Sony has cancelled two live-service games, including one potential God of War title. However, in a bit of good news in light of the layoffs rocking the game industry, Sony says neither of its two studios are at risk of closure.

Jason Schreier of Bloomberg reports that Bend Studio and Bluepoint Games, both PlayStation studios, were working on two separate live service games — a venture Sony has been heavily invested in. Last year, Sony saw one of its worst failures in the launch of Concord, alongside a massive success with Helldivers II. Live service games have proven to be a risky venture, but they are extremely profitable when done well.
