The original Uncharted games, starting with Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune (launched in 2007), have received a sudden update. Originally developed by Naughty Dog and PlayStation, the Uncharted series also included subsequent releases like Uncharted 2: Among Thieves (2009) and Uncharted 3: Drake’s Deception (2011), during the PS3 era. The fourth mainline game, Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End, came out in 2016, marking the conclusion of the series on the PS4. Since then, there has been no new content from this well-liked PlayStation franchise except for one spin-off release, Uncharted: The Lost Legacy, in 2017.
