Uncharted 4 Honors Former Writer and Franchise Director

A line from Uncharted 4: A Thief's End's credit sequence pays tribute to Amy Hennig, the action game's former writer and series director, it has been revealed. DualShockers posted the line, in which Naughty Dog thanked Hennig for her contributions to the overall Uncharted franchise.

"With sincere and deep gratitude to Amy Hennig for her contributions to the Uncharted franchise," reads the line.

Hennig left Naughty Dog in March 2014 after more than a decade with the company. She worked on Uncharted 1-3, and was writing the fourth game. According to a report, Hennig was "forced out" by directors Neil Druckmann and Bruce Straley, though Naughty Dog has since denied this was the case.

A month after leaving Naughty Dog in 2014, Hennig joined Electronic Arts where she is now working on Dead Space developer Visceral Games' new Star Wars project. This game has yet to be formally announced, but is rumored to be an open-world title.

In other news about EA Star Wars games, the company announced this week that Titanfall developer Respawn Entertainment is making a new third-person action adventure game in the Star Wars universe.
