Uncharted 4: A Thief's End is Naughty Dog's 2016 action-adventure game, published by Sony. It was released on PS4 on 10 May 2016, and reached PS5 (28 January 2022) and Windows (19 October 2022, developed with Iron Galaxy) through the Uncharted: Legacy of Thieves Collection. It is set several years after Uncharted 3: Nathan Drake has retired with Elena, but his presumed-dead brother Sam returns and recruits him to find Henry Avery's treasure, with rival Rafe Adler and Nadine Ross's private military company Shoreline in pursuit.
The game is linear but its environments are much larger than in earlier entries, with multiple paths. Nathan can jump, climb, swim, swing on a rope and use a grappling hook. Combat uses firearms, melee and stealth, including hiding in tall grass, and some segments use vehicles such as a Jeep. The story visits a Panamanian prison, an Italian auction, the Scottish Highlands, King's Bay in Madagascar, the pirate island of Libertalia and New Devon.
Uncharted: The Lost Legacy, a standalone expansion starring Chloe Frazer and Nadine Ross, followed in August 2017 on PS4. Online multiplayer (up to ten players, with a co-op Survival mode added in December 2016) is only available in the PS4 version; it was left out of the PS5 and Windows versions.
