According to IGN, Naughty Dog's Neil Druckmann and Bruce Straley released an update on the game's release date on the official PlayStation blog, revealing that A Thief's End is definitely the biggest Uncharted title in the franchise.

"This is our largest Uncharted game to date, and the team has been working incredibly hard to meet the challenge of closing out the game's development in a timely manner. However, as we approached our final deadlines and started wrapping up the game's levels, we realized that several key sequences needed extra resources to bring them to the finish line," the statement from the studio explained. "Pushing the date is not an easy choice, and we wouldn't do it if we didn't feel in our hearts it's the best course of action for the game."

As you probably know, this is the final adventure of the series' protagonist Nathan Drake, so it's clear that the team behind the game want to make it as perfect as they can before its release.
