A nearly 90-minute Thekempy documentary has surfaced with extensive new material on Amy Hennig's abandoned Uncharted 4, detailing alternate plot points, characters, environments and cut sequences.
Work-in-progress gameplay, concept art and performance-capture footage underpin the breakdown, showing how Hennig's version differed from the 2016 release rather than relying on rumor.
The video also revisits the 2014 handover that saw Hennig leave the project, with Neil Druckmann and Bruce Straley taking over as story rewrites and level cuts reshaped the game.
That overhaul came as Uncharted 4's development was reportedly struggling midstream, with Sony said to have threatened to pull funding if the project did not come together.
