The Uncharted 4 Ending Might Have Loose Ends But It Isn't To Set Up A Sequel

People spend a long time debating endings that have unresolved plot points in entertainment. This, of course, is done on purpose by creators to incite these conversations and imbue the media with their own meaning.

That might well be in play at the end of Uncharted 4, according to Naughty Dog's Neil Druckmann. In an interview with OPM (via GamesRadar+), Druckmann hinted that the ending may not answer all the questions, but it doesn't mean that you should expect a direct sequel:

What makes a good classical story – [and say] a good ending is a payoff. The entire story is setting up this final message, and it ties it all together and it gives you a sense of closure. And if things are left dangling, they're left dangling for a reason. Not to set up a sequel, but they're left dangling to raise interesting questions about the theme of what it is you've just experienced. The other thing is that an ending needs to be, on one hand, surprising, and yet, in hindsight, inevitable.

I'm not sure I believe this will be the last Uncharted game, but if it really is, I really hope it is ended right and Naughty Dog can be entirely happy with it. Loose ends or not.
