The open beta for "Uncharted 4: A Thief's End" just wrapped up and it looks like it will be the last time gamers will be able to try out the game before its official launch in March next year.

Before the closed beta started, Naughty Dog's Director of Communications Arne Meyer clarified that there will be no open beta conducted for the game. This means that the next time they see Nathan Drake in action, it will be in the final version of the game.

On the other hand, "Uncharted 4: A Thief's End" director Neil Druckmann talked more about the dialogue options gamers can expect in the title. "There [were] a few spots in the game where we felt dialogue options would give us something interesting," he told Kinda Funny Games.

Druckmann said that he acknowledges the fact that gamers love to debate about which game in the action-adventure third-person shooter franchise so they made the dialog options in the game a nod to that and an overall treat for fans.

In "Uncharted 4: A Thief's End," Nate is reunited with his brother Sam after 15 long years. The siblings have a lot of stories to tell and fans will get to choose which story about his past adventures Nate will talk about with his brother first.

Druckmann explained that this will "give the player the option" on what Nate gets to tell his brother first considering the last time they saw each other was before the events of the original "Uncharted" game.

Talking about how they decided to wrap up the beloved franchise with "Uncharted 4: A Thief's End," Druckmann said "And we felt we came up with something that looks at the three previous games as the start of an arc, and this is the finish."

"Uncharted 4: A Thief's End" will be out March 18, 2016.
