Because of the recent replacement of the game director of the “Uncharted 4,” video game, fans have been wondering whether the game will be the same when it rolls. Speculation is that Naughty Dog, the game development company that released the game, ran into problems. 

The previous version of the game was released in 2011, and the upcoming version still has no release date. Earlier in March, head writer of the series, Amy Hennig, left Naughty Dog. Then game director Justin Richmond left, and lead artist Nate Well left too. The voice actor for the game, Todd Stashwick, also left soon after. The most recent in the series of departures was Michael Knowland, lead character artist from ‘The Last of Us’ who announced that he’s leaving via LinkedIn, according to Tech Radar

Even though Sony Computer Entertainment said “Uncharted 4” will not be impacted by all the recent departures, according to the website, that claim was not reassuring given that the key players of the game have left the project.  

Fans can expect a preview of the game at the Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) in LA this June, 2014.  The game will be exclusively available on PlayStation 4, according to the BitBag
