Uncharted 4 Could Have Split-Screen Multiplayer... Eventually

Although Uncharted 4's multiplayer won't support split-screen play at launch, the feature could be implemented some time in the future, as stated today by one of the game's developers.

The statement was dropped during a live stream on Naughty Dog's Twitch channel, while the multiplayer component was shown off in more detail. Robert Cogburn, the game's lead designer, said adding split-screen is something that the developers would love to do, with the entire team being fans of good old-fashioned couch co-op. Any plans of implementing the process during development were scratched from the plan book to meet a release date.

Although it may seem now that the feature could simply be patched in down the road, we would advise fans to not get their hopes up entirely just yet. Cogburn also detailed the process as "technically challenging" and if the team were to attempt to make it happen, it wouldn't come until long after launch. We'll keep our fingers crossed, but in the meantime we're sure what ever we get at launch will be absolutely enjoyable to play with friends - whether they're right beside us or across the globe.

Uncharted 4 releases next week, on May 10th.
