Uncharted's creative director has left Naughty Dog.
Amy Hennig has departed the studio after more than ten years.
IGN sources have claimed that she was "forced out" by The Last of Us's Neil Druckmann and Bruce Straley, who will now assume control of the Uncharted franchise.
She served as creative director and writer on Uncharted: Drake's Fortune, Uncharted 2: Among Thieves and Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception.
Hennig received the Writers Guild of America's Outstanding Achievement in Writing for Video Games award in 2012 for her work on Uncharted 3.
Sony confirmed the exit in a statement: "We can confirm that Amy Hennig has left Naughty Dog. Amy has made significant contributions to the game industry and we appreciate all she has done for Naughty Dog.
"The development timeline of Uncharted will not be impacted."
Hennig previously worked at Tomb Raider developer Crystal Dynamics, where she primarily focused on the Legacy of Kain series.
Naughty Dog unveiled a brief Uncharted 4 for PlayStation 4 teaser trailer at the console's US launch event last year. More is expected to be revealed at E3 in June.
