The reason for the discussions was reports that this project may be the studio's "secret game." The series has long been considered one of the key ones for PlayStation, and fans have been waiting for Nathan Drake's return for many years.
Insider Alir, who previously reported on the new God of War, shared the first details. According to him, the plot focuses on two characters, Nathan Drake and his daughter Cassie. This could be a new direction for the franchise. According to rumors, the project should be led by Sean Escayg, who worked on Uncharted: The Lost Legacy.
The game is allegedly in development for more than three years, and the release is tentatively scheduled for 2029. This is unexpected for many, as it was expected that the release of the new installment was still far away.
There is no official confirmation. But if the information is correct, we are talking about a large project that can simultaneously update the series and preserve the foundation.
If the rumors are confirmed, this will be the return of Nathan Drake in a new story and with an emphasis on the next generation of heroes.
