Ever since the release ofThe Last of Us 2, fans have been clamoring for information on Naughty Dog’s next project. The studio, on the other hand, has been maintaining an eerie silence on what it’s working on. Even thoughUncharted 4concluded Nathan Drake’s saga on a high note, it left enough for a potential sequel. And while Naughty Dog refuses to comment onUncharted 5whereabouts, fans are clinging to Nolan North, Drake’s actor, for more information.
It seems though, North has finally cleared the air aroundUncharted5. Answering a fan during the Get Good Live’s latest episode, he says," If they are making a newUncharted, I don’t know about it." In true Nolan North fashion he says," if they are, and I don’t know about it, and I’m not in it, I’m gonna throw some hands. We are gonna have some problems."

If North’s track record is anything to go by, he isn’t very good with the leaks. Back in 2015,North confirmed the existence ofThe Last of Us 2during a Q/A panel at Metrocon by saying," I know they are doing aLast of Us 2." So it may be that he isn’t involved with the project, or it’s still in the pre-production stage. Either way, it seems it will be a while before fans actually get new information on the nextUnchartedgame.
Earlier this year, eagle-eyed fans had noticed an interesting piece of information in regards toSony’s not-so-secret San Diego Studio, the one that has hired plenty of former Naughty Dog employees. The studio is currently rumored to be working on a newUnchartedgame, and the former PlayStation head Micheal Mumbauer’s LinkedIn profile revealed that he worked as the studio head with an entirely new team in San Diego until November 2020. San Diego studio has been established to work on existing PlayStation franchises and, according to descriptions, is working on a AAA action-adventure game.
Although there isn’t any confirmation that this rumored project is a newUncharted, it wouldn’t be surprising if it turns out to be, given it’s one of Sony’s biggest franchises. Naughty Dog, on the other hand, has its own hand full withseveral cool projects that will likely be announced soon. One of them could be the PS5 upgrade forThe Last of Us 2, something that fans have been asking for quite some time.
In the meantime,Unchartedfans have a lot to look forward to, with the upcoming release ofUnchartedmovie featuring Tom Holland.Unchartedwill be the combination ofIndiana JonesandJames Bond, according to Holland, and will release on July 25, 2025.
