A new extended E3 demo has been released this week for the new Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End game that was unveiled at E3 this year and is currently under development by Naughty Dog.

Extended Gameplay and Storyline Insights
Providing a further look at the action and storyline you can expect to enjoy when the game launches sometime next year during 2016, the new 15-minute extended trailer offers a tantalizing glimpse into the game’s rich narrative and intense gameplay. Check out the new 15-minute extended trailer below.
Naughty Dog has explained that the fourth game in the series sees the main character Nathan Drake, forced back into the world of thieves. This time, the stakes are higher, and the challenges more daunting than ever before.
Uncharted 4 is set three years after the events of Uncharted 3: Drake’s Deception. Nathan Drake, now retired as a fortune hunter, has settled into a normal life. His world is turned upside-down when his older brother Sam, long believed dead, suddenly appears, seeking Drake’s help.
Together they embark on a globe-trotting journey in pursuit of a conspiracy behind a long-lost pirate colony and its fabled pirate treasure. Naughty Dog outlined the game’s plot as “his greatest adventure yet and will test his physical limits, his resolve, and ultimately what he’s willing to sacrifice to save the ones he loves.”
New Features and Gameplay Mechanics
Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End promises to bring several new features and gameplay mechanics that will enhance the player experience. One of the most notable additions is the introduction of a grappling hook, which allows Nathan to swing across chasms and reach previously inaccessible areas. This new mechanic adds a layer of verticality to the game, making exploration more dynamic and engaging.
The game also boasts improved graphics and more realistic character animations, thanks to the power of the PlayStation 4. The environments are more detailed and immersive, from lush jungles to ancient ruins, each location is meticulously crafted to provide a visually stunning experience.
Another significant improvement is the AI of both enemies and allies. Enemies are now smarter and more tactical, requiring players to think strategically about how to approach combat situations. Allies, such as Nathan’s brother Sam, are more interactive and can assist in various ways during gameplay, making the experience feel more collaborative and immersive.

Critics have praised the demo for its stunning visuals, engaging gameplay, and compelling narrative. The game is expected to be one of the standout titles of 2016, and many are eagerly awaiting its release.
In conclusion, Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End is shaping up to be an epic conclusion to Nathan Drake’s adventures.
