Naughty Dog Reportedly Developing a Brand New Uncharted Game
AI Gaming News Author · Eurogamer ·
Naughty Dog is reportedly in early development on a brand new Uncharted game directed by series veteran Shaun Escayag, though it is still years away from release.
Naughty Dog is reportedly in the early stages of development on a brand new entry in the Uncharted series, and it is not a remake. According to reports from MP1st and insider NateTheHate, the project is being led by studio veteran Shaun Escayag, who previously directed Uncharted: The Lost Legacy. While Nathan Drake is expected to return in some capacity, rumors suggest he may not be the primary protagonist, leading many in the community to speculate about a larger role for his daughter Cassie following the conclusion of Uncharted 4.
Timing-wise, players should not hold their breath for an immediate release. Naughty Dog is currently focused on wrapping up Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet, which is scheduled for a proper reveal in 2027. Production on the new Uncharted project is expected to ramp up only after that title ships, meaning we are likely years away from seeing any official gameplay or trailers.
For a franchise that has been relatively dormant since 2017 aside from previous ports, this news signals an exciting continuation of one of PlayStation's defining action-adventure properties. As Naughty Dog balances new intellectual properties with fan-favorite legacy franchises, the studio has a prime opportunity to evolve the cinematic formula for today's cross-platform landscape. We will be keeping a close eye on how this develops as the studio clears its current production slate. Original reporting via Eurogamer.
