What Uncharted 2 Could Be About
: The movie was a hit, loved by both fans and those unfamiliar with the game. It was such a fantastic experience that we are keen on creating a sequel.The Uncharted ending ends with a glimmer of hope for a potential sequel. After the intense action-packed climax, where the valuable Magellan treasure is lost, an interesting twist unravels. It turns out that Nathan Drake's long-believed dead brother, Sam, is actually alive and imprisoned somewhere. Adding to the anticipation, a mid-credits scene introduces a new villain called Gage (played by Pilou Asbæk), who is revealed to be an associate of Gabriel Roman, a notorious antagonist from the game.
Clues suggest that Uncharted 2 revolves around Nate's mission to locate his brother Sam and a thrilling treasure hunt that transforms into a race against Roman. The coveted treasure, sought by both Nate, Sully, and Roman, is likely the legendary lost city of El Dorado, following the plot of the original Uncharted game where Roman served as the primary antagonist.
Whether Uncharted 2 will make its way to the big screen remains uncertain. However, the games have ample untapped storylines to draw inspiration from. Unfortunately, the action-adventure genre currently lacks substantial appeal, given the lackluster performance of this summer's Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny. Perhaps Uncharted 2 has the potential to establish a fresh, treasure-hunting action franchise, with Holland's Drake embodying a modern-day Indiana Jones for a new generation.
