"100%, Absolutely": Nolan North Ready to Return as Nathan Drake in Uncharted 5

Mr. North gave no hints about the development of a new Uncharted.

Actor Nolan North, who lent his voice and likeness to Nathan Drake in the Uncharted series, stated that he would readily return to his iconic role if Sony decides to continue the franchise.

During a Q&A session at Gamergy in Puerto Rico, North was asked if he would agree to play Drake again in a new Uncharted installment. The actor responded unequivocally: “100%, absolutely”. According to him, he even tries to stay in shape in case such an opportunity ever arises.

North noted that working on the series lasted about ten years and became an important part of his career. He emphasized that during this time he had the opportunity to work closely with good friends and the development team, so he cannot imagine a situation in which he would refuse to return.

However, the actor did not confirm rumors about the possible development of Uncharted 5. North stated that he knows nothing about new announcements, but if Sony truly decides to revive the series, it will be one of the biggest events in the gaming industry.

The actor also admitted that he hopes to see Nathan Drake in action again someday. However, he emphasized that the return of the legendary series must be justified — in his opinion, it is important for developers not to repeat the fate of the film “Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull,” which he cited as an example of an unsuccessful return of an iconic franchise.

Nolan North voiced Nathan Drake in all four main Uncharted games, as well as in the spin-off Uncharted: Golden Abyss for PlayStation Vita. Despite numerous rumors about the continuation of the series, an official announcement of Uncharted 5 has not yet followed.
