Exclusive Insider Leak Reveals Exciting Secrets About the Upcoming Uncharted Sequel!

Highlights

Speculations regarding the possibility of a new Uncharted game have been sparked by a recent job posting by Naughty Dog. This fuels hope for the franchise's resurgence following the conclusion of Nathan Drake's captivating journey.

The success of the Uncharted series and the positive response to the Uncharted movie adaptation serve as motivation for Naughty Dog to carry on with the franchise, potentially enhancing its storytelling and gameplay mechanics. Additionally, Naughty Dog's involvement in various AAA games, such as a Last of Us multiplayer title and a speculated sci-fi game, strengthens the likelihood of a new Uncharted game being in development.

A recent job listing from Naughty Dog suggests that another Uncharted game may be in development. Curiously, there has been no news about the series continuing since the release of Uncharted: The Lost Legacy in 2017.

Uncharted focused on the adventures of Nathan Drake, the central character in four main titles of the series. These games have been successful both commercially and critically, setting a high standard for narrative design and storytelling in the industry. Despite this success, Naughty Dog has not revealed any plans to continue the series after concluding Nathan Drake's story in Uncharted 4. However, the recent job listing hints at the possibility of the series making a comeback.

This is from Naughty Dog's careers page, where they have a job listing for a Physics Programmer. The description is interesting as it involves working with "drive-able physics-based vehicles, cloth or rope simulation." In The Last of Us Part 2, there are instances of rope climbing and swinging, but ropes and driving are mechanics typically associated with the Uncharted franchise. This could potentially be a hint towards the revival of the Uncharted series.

Currently, it is merely speculative whether the Uncharted series will make a comeback, as Neil Druckmann, the co-president of the studio, stated that Naughty Dog was finished with it. However, it is possible that Druckmann's statement was regarding the conclusion of Nathan Drake's story rather than the entire franchise. Moreover, the studio has ample motivation to continue the series, given the success of the Uncharted movie adaptation in 2022 and the promising update for a sequel from its producer. The series has also had a significant impact on the gaming and entertainment industries, evident in movies such as Mission Impossible: Dead Reckoning Part 1 and Extraction 2, which feature scenes inspired by the spectacular sequences in Uncharted 2: Among Thieves.

Furthermore, another reason why the revival of Uncharted is plausible is because Naughty Dog is currently developing multiple AAA games. Among these, the only confirmed game thus far is the Last of Us multiplayer title. However, recent rumors suggest that Naughty Dog is working on not one, but two multiplayer games, and there are also suggestions of a sci-fi game in the works.
