Rejoice! Uncharted 4 has gone gold
It's been a long time coming but Uncharted 4: A Thief's End has gone gold, meaning we're ridiculously close to experiencing Drake's final adventure. The tweet below from Naughty Dog creative director Neil Druckmann says it all, complete with poignant message.

And director Bruce Straley isn't mincing his words.
I can't wait for you guys to see what I think (keywords "I think") is the most visually stunning game ever created. #GOLD #uncharted4March 19, 2016
Writer Josh Scherr got in on the golden action too.

It's clearly not been an easy ride. There were a number of high profile changes when The Last of Us directors Straley and Druckmann took over production from Amy Hennig, and also the small matter of three delays to get things just right, but everything we've seen looks pretty spectacular. Especially these Uncharted lemur cuddles from a making of video released last week. Bring on May 10.
