Uncharted 4: A Thief's End is an action-adventure video game developed by Naughty Dog and published by Sony Interactive Entertainment for the PlayStation 4 video game console. As the sequel to 2011's Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception, it is the conclusion to the Uncharted series starring Nathan Drake, and the last game in the franchise to be developed by Naughty Dog. Upon release, Uncharted 4: A Thief's End was widely acclaimed by video game publications, with critics praising the game for improved gameplay mechanics over previous entries in the series, narrative, emotional depth, visual design and the multiplayer. On May 2, 2016, Naughty Dog's lead game designer Robert Cogburn outlined the road map for the game's multiplayer, citing that "all future maps and modes will be included with Uncharted 4 at no additional cost, and all vanity and gameplay in-game store items will be unlockable through gameplay".
