The Making of Uncharted 4: A Thief's End ~ The Evolution of a Franchise

We’ve got a great treat for you as we head into the final weeks of development — today, we are kicking off our five-episode behind-the-scenes series, The Making of Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End. The video team at PlayStation was given incredible access to our studio, game assets, and many of the people working on Uncharted 4, to craft a compelling series to cap off this final chapter for Nathan Drake.

We’re calling this first episode The Evolution of a Franchise. It’s a great way to kick off this “Making of” series, as we take a brief look how Naughty Dog and the Uncharted series has evolved since Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune made its debut on PS3 in 2007, including the influence of The Last of Us on the team and our development process. The five-episode series is scheduled to be released throughout March and April, so check back to get a behind-the-scenes look at the Making of Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End. You’ll want to stick around for the full series — I would go so far as to say it was emotional for a few people here to watch by the time the series wrapped up. Here’s a quick rundown at the upcoming episodes: • The Making of Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End: The Evolution of a Franchise • The Making of Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End: Growing up with Drake • The Making of Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End: Pushing Technical Boundaries Part 1 • The Making of Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End: Pushing Technical Boundaries Part 2 • The Making of Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End: In the End The team is still hard at work finishing up Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End, and we’ll be revealing more leading up to the worldwide release on May 10th, 2016.
