The Uncharted franchise, was once among PlayStation’s best first-party releases, however the last one came out in 2017. Naughty Dog confirmed it moved on after Uncharted 4, leaving fans yearning for more content from this beloved franchise. However, recent leaks suggest that a new Uncharted game might have been in the works.
Bend Studio, the team behind Days Gone, was reportedly considering creating a new Uncharted game in 2020. A screenshot shared by a Redditor from the recent Insomniac leaks reveals that Bend Studio and Sony contemplated a sequel to Days Gone and Uncharted for the team’s next project.
Bend Studio had previously worked on the Uncharted IP with the PS Vita, which was considered one of the better offerings of the handheld. This past experience likely gave PlayStation the confidence to provide the team with a AAA budget for Days Gone.
The Redditor posted a screenshot that says that Uncharted required 80 more hires compared to 30 for Days Gone Sequel. Since the Days Gone game looked more budget-friendly, the developer may have postponed Uncharted. But it is also worth noting that Days Gone 2 did not come as well.
The Uncharted, as a franchise is not over yet. The first movie adaptation was rather a success, so why did the developer stop with new games? There is still a huge demand for the game and if Uncharted 5 comes out, it will surely be a big hit.
Will there be a Uncharted 5?
Now that we know that there was a planned Uncharted 5 game and also the success of the Uncharted movie starring Tom Holland, suggests that a new Uncharted game could arrive in the next few years. Moreover, a report from PlayStationLifestyle also agrees on this point.
While the future of the Uncharted franchise remains uncertain, these leaks and rumors have certainly ignited excitement among fans, keeping the hope for a new Uncharted game alive.
