Det har allerede blitt nevnt at Uncharted 4: A Thief's End skal være det siste spillet i serien med Naughty Dog som utvikler, og nå har det blitt slått fast en gang for alle av lead game designer Robert Cogburn. I et intervju med Kotaku forteller han om årsakene til at Naughty Dog nå gjør seg klare til å si farvel til Uncharted:
"This will be our fourth Uncharted game and these games are hard to make. Particularly with a character like Nathan Drake in a world that's fairly grounded, it's a challenge to consider how much more we can expand the universe while adhering to those sorts of rules."
Han sier også at studioet er lei av å stille seg selv de samme spørsmålene og diskutere de samme designvalgene før hvert spill:
"This is gonna be the fourth time we start answering stuff like, 'How do we make hand-grabs visible? What do we do to scale the combat experience? What are the interesting puzzles we can be introducing in the moment-to-moment as the player's experiencing this narrative?' That's not to say the questions will be the same in games we make going forward, but as a studio we grow tired of answering those same types of questions in the same fiction."
Vi krysser fingrene for at Uncharted 4: A Thief's End blir den avslutningen Naughty Dog og Drake fortjener.
