Uncharted Sequel Buzz Spurred by Naughty Dog Creative Director’s Recent “Research” Photo

by

Despite hinting at future plans for The Last of Us, Naughty Dog’s Neil Druckmann is currently prioritizing Intergalactic, which is reportedly aiming for a release around mid-2027. Meanwhile, creative director Shaun Escayg appears to be involved in a different project – possibly a new Uncharted game, based on a recent post on Instagram.

The photo shows a historic cannon positioned on a wall, with a coastal city spread out below. It looks like a typical vacation snapshot, except for the caption Escayg added: “Research…” What is he researching? He doesn’t specify, but given how closely it matches the adventures of Nathan Drake – traveling the world, discovering ancient sites, and facing off against pirates – it’s a pretty clear hint about the game Uncharted.

It’s likely we’ll see another game from this series soon. Naughty Dog has stated they’re developing several new, original single-player games – meaning they aren’t remakes. Plus, rumors suggest that one Naughty Dog employee has been quietly working on a secret project for nearly four years, and it might be the same one another employee is currently producing.

It’s possible we might see something unexpected, like a new Jak and Daxter game. However, considering it’s been almost ten years since Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End, and that Escayg also co-directed Uncharted: The Lost Legacy, it seems more likely Nathan Drake will be back. Hopefully, we’ll find out more details later this year.
