An New Uncharted Game Could Still Happen, Teases Naughty Dog Dev
A New Studio Can Unearth The Treasured Uncharted Series
While Nathan Drake is the star of the first four Uncharted games, a potential reboot of the series could possibly introduce a brand-new protagonist. The success of the 2017 spin-off The Lost Legacy proves that the Uncharted series doesn't need Nathan Drake, considering the game instead starred Chloe Frazer and Nadine Ross as its protagonists. An Uncharted reboot could possibly follow this heroic duo, or another popular character like Sam Drake. The rumored reboot could also follow the adventures of a grown-up Cassie Drake, Nate's daughter that players are briefly introduced to at the end of Uncharted 4.
Naughty Dog is the creator and dedicated caretaker of the Uncharted franchise, but the beloved developer may be handing off the franchise to focus on other projects. The studio has already unveiled an Last of Us multiplayer game, which will let players team up or compete to survive in the post-apocalypse. Rumors actually point towards three new games from the Uncharted developer, which likely includes The Last of Us Part 3 and another rumored Naughty Dog fantasy title.
The Uncharted series has been carefully cultivated by Naughty Dog over the last 15 years, but it might be time for the developer to hand the reins to a fresh new studio. An Uncharted reboot could tell the story of a younger Nathan Drake, or it could follow up the previous game by focusing on an adult Cassie Drake instead. While the project remains a mere rumor for now, an Uncharted reboot from a new studio could put a unique spin on an aging PlayStation franchise.
