Meanwhile, developer Naughty Dog also cautions hardcore fans to be vigilant about story spoilers online, after it is reported that a number of copies of "Uncharted 4" were stolen while in transit in the UK. Writing on the EU PlayStation Blog, Shuhei Yoshida said, "As with most Naughty Dog games, the unfolding story is such an integral part of the experience and for this reason we wanted to warn you to beware of the potential for spoilers to be posted by people with access to stolen copies of the game."

However, Yoshida assures fans that Sony and Naughty Dog will do all it can not to spoil the surprise for fans, who have been waiting painstakingly for the last part of the adventures of main protagonist Nathan Drake. Yoshida added, "Please rest assured we will be very vigilant to protect you from this as far as we can so you can enjoy Uncharted 4's experience to its fullest..."
