Nathan Drake himself, Nolan North, recently told an audience at MetroCon that Uncharted 4′s development was set back eight months after Any Hennig’s departure from developer Naughty Dog.
“We had shot eight months of her [Hennig’s] story and it was all thrown away. The Last of Us’ guys came in, and you have to understand, new producers, new people, they want to do it. I don’t know what happened exactly,” North said during a Q&A.
“Amy is still a very dear friend of mine and she’s brilliant but the Last of Us guys were the next team there so they took over and they just wanted their own flavour. They got rid of some of the other people that were involved and just redid their thing.”
North asserted that the new script for the game has a different tone to Hennig’s, but stays true to Uncharted itself.
After ten years at Naughty Dog, Hennig parted ways with the developer in 2014.
