To celebrate the increased supply of PS5 consoles, PlayStation has released a new trailer with live-action spots for its biggest games. It features fictional news reports referencing several big names, from God of War Ragnarok, Returnal and Horizon Forbidden West to the upcoming Final Fantasy 16 and Marvel’s Spider-Man 2.
However, one scene isn’t immediately recognizable. It sees a young girl holding a torch in a cave, happening upon an artifact of sorts. She’s shown dusting it off before seemingly reacting to something. While not confirmed, this could be the next Uncharted.
PlayStation Blog says the trailer “hints at the breadth of extraordinary experiences taking place in the PS5 universe through the style of a live news channel,” and asks fans to “spot all the game references.” Given how Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End concluded (mild spoilers incoming), the young woman could be Cassie, Nathan Drake’s daughter.
Though Naughty Dog co-president Neil Druckmann said the studio is “done” with Uncharted, a different studio seems to be working on a reboot. Christina-Marie Drake McBrearty was brought on as a primary Recruiter to build future teams “for not only new titles but for the legacy of Uncharted.” Sony is also establishing a new internal development studio in San Diego with PlayStation Studios Visual Arts to work on “an exciting new project in a beloved franchise” with Naughty Dog.
All signs point to a new Uncharted, but we’ll need to wait for more details. Stay tuned in the meantime.
