E3 2014: Sony Teases Us With New ‘Uncharted 4’ Footage
While it shouldn’t have been much of a surprise, I was a little taken aback when a new Uncharted title was confirmed to be in the works for the PS4 late last year. With the success of The Last Of Us, I fully expected developer Naughty Dog to fully focus their efforts on expanding that universe instead of returning to the world of thieves that was so thoroughly explored across three games starring Nathan Drake. Still, the thought of a new title in the popular series is easy to get excited about, which is why Sony closed their E3 press conference with a glimpse at what we can expect come 2015.
Seemingly taking place years after Drake’s last adventure, the treasure hunter is spotted waking up in the middle of the jungle while a conversation plays in the background between him and his longtime companion, Sully, explaining how they’re going to chase after one last job together. But Nathan is older. He’s been out of the treasure hunting game for years. It’s hinted at that he might not know what he’s dealing with anymore. But this last job will be an easy one… or will it? As Sully says, they’re never easy.
Some heavy themes are being hinted at with this fourth game, now titled A Thief’s End. Will this really be Drake’s final adventure? Or is the title hinting at a different tragedy is in the cards for one of his friends?
The trailer doesn’t give us a whole lot to go by, so let the speculation begin! What are you hoping to see in what can potentially be the last Uncharted game? Sound off below!
