'Uncharted 4: A Thief's End' Release Date July 2015 Rumored: What Happens To Nathan Drake And Sully?

Earlier this month, an epic 15-minute gameplay video of "Uncharted 4: A Thief's End," was shown at the PlayStation Experience event at Las Vegas. Now, a leaked listing on the Tesco website suggests that the "Uncharted 4: A Thief's End" release date is July 31, 2015.

Initial speculations suggest that the upcoming "Uncharted" title will not launch until late 2015 as the three previous titles of Uncharted were released between the months of October through December. That said, it is possible that game developer Naughty Dog is applying a new strategy given the massive amount of success they have enjoyed since they released "The Last of Us" in July. Could July be Naughty Dog's ideal release date for "Uncharted 4: A Thief's End" after all?

The "Uncharted" franchise was one of the most popular titles on the PS3. Now, "Uncharted 4: A Thief's End" is ramping up to be the title's dramatic finale on the next-gen PS4 console. So what's next for Nathan Drake in "A Thief's End?"

From the first trailer at E3, we know that Nathan Drake had retired since we last seen him in "Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception." After all, Sully warns Drake that he's been out of the game for a long time. However, one last treasure hunt pulls Sully and Drake back into the dangerous world of underground thieves and bounty hunters.

"Retired fortune hunter, Nathan Drake, is forced back into the world of thieves," read the description from Naughty Dog. "With the stakes much more personal, Drake embarks on a globe-trotting journey in pursuit of a historical conspiracy behind a fabled pirate treasure. His greatest adventure will test his physical limits, his resolve, and ultimately what he's willing to sacrifice to save the ones he loves."

From the gameplay, we learn that a wreck causes Nathan Drake to get separated from his buddy during the expedition. As Nathan maneuvers across ledges of a waterfall in a forest, he realizes that he's not alone in the treasure hunt and that ambitious men have tried to find this treasure before... and failed.

"Oh hey. Seen anyone come by here? Tall, lanky? Full of big stupid ideas about a pirate treasure," Nathan asked a skeleton during the gameplay video.

After scaling up a cliff side, Nathan encounters a band of mercenaries that are obviously looking for him. After killing a couple of baddies, Nathan manages to utilize his stealth to slip away and continue on.

Finally, Nathan Drake rendezvous with his pal after all, except it isn't Sully! Details on the full plot of "Uncharted 4: A Thief's End" are limited and we're definitely concerned about why Sully is missing, but it's exciting to get introduced to new characters in Nathan Drake's exciting world.
