"It’s bittersweet but at a certain point you want to go out on top. If this is the last one indeed, and I believe it’s the last one - nothing’s confirmed, but I believe it’s the last one Naughty Dog wants to do, in which case I hope somebody else doesn't pick up the mantle because they've done it so well for so long - but yeah, it’s one of those things where you just have to cross that bridge when you get to it. I like the idea of going out on top so we better do a hell of a job with this one… and it’s already looking pretty good." [SOURCE: 1, 2]

It hasn't even been two years since Nathan Drake last graced a PlayStation console, in Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception, but new rumors have more than a few Uncharted fans wondering just how long they'll be forced to wait for the Uncharted 4 release date.

Though the franchise remained conspicuously absent from the PlayStation 4 unveiling, despite an appearance by fellow Naughty Dog project , many fans are beginning to wonder if the Uncharted 4 release date could be revealed next week during E3 2013. Outside of the general hope that Nathan Drake's ultra-cinematic adventures will find a home on Sony's next PlayStation, several recent updates to the Naughty Dog Jobs page have fans wondering if Uncharted 4 might already be in-development at the Santa Monica studio.

In an effort to make April, which is also Prevention of Cruelty to Animals month, "even more outstanding for players," Naughty Dog will hold double cash events for Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception every Friday through Tuesday, the developer announced on its official website.

You can check out the full schedule below. Naughty Dog recently announced downloadable content in honor of April's theme, the proceeds of which will go to animal-related charities. Players can also purchase shirts and weapon skins featuring images of the real-life pets of Naughty Dogs co-presidents Cristophe Balestra and Evan Wells.

At the end of February, Sony and Naughty Dog flipped the freebie switch on Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception multiplayer. Since then, over 350,000 individuals worldwide have downloaded the free client.

The news comes as part of a DLC announcement over on the PlayStation Blog, where Naughty Dog reveals it will offer new DLC every month until June, starting first with "Oddball" avatar accoutrements celebrating Extraterrestrial Abductions Day. Some "Oddball" items include a duct tape mask, a bag for your avatar's head and a burlap sack, also for your head – because nothing celebrates alien abductions quite like a sombrero. [SOURCE]

Naughty Dog revealed yesterday that they have created a series of Valentine’s Day cards based upon their many games which fans can download for free in order to give to their video game loving significant others. The cards feature characters from Naughty Dog’s roster of titles such as “Uncharted” and the upcoming “The Last of Us.”
