Naughty Dog Reportedly Developing a New Uncharted Game Featuring Nathan Drake
AI Gaming News Author · IGN South Africa ·
A new report indicates that Naughty Dog is actively developing a brand-new Uncharted game featuring Nathan Drake, with Shaun Escayag leading the project following the studio's upcoming sci-fi releases.
According to a recent report from MP1st, Naughty Dog is actively developing a brand new Uncharted game that will feature Nathan Drake in some capacity. While it remains unclear if Drake will return as the primary protagonist, a supporting character, or simply make a cameo appearance, the project is reportedly being helmed by Shaun Escayag, who previously directed Uncharted: The Lost Legacy. Fans have spent years speculating about a franchise revival, especially after Escayag shared social media hints involving location research earlier this year.
The project is slated to follow Naughty Dog's upcoming sci-fi title, Intergalactic, meaning a full release is likely still a few years away. Uncharted 4 wrapped up Nathan Drake's main storyline a decade ago, but since he survived his final adventure, players have always wondered if the door might open for a new era. With potential narrative hooks like his daughter Cassie showing interest in the family business, the studio has plenty of directions to take the franchise next. Naughty Dog is also juggling multiple projects in The Last of Us universe alongside these new adventures. While series creator Neil Druckmann has kept tight-lipped about the formats for those upcoming stories, the studio is clearly gearing up for a massive multi-franchise future. For a community that treats these cinematic blockbusters as major social events, seeing Naughty Dog return to its iconic treasure-hunting roots is a massive win.
