PlayStation Fans Think An Uncharted Game Is "Desperately Needed"

Summary

• PlayStation fans are sorely missing Nathan Drake and the Uncharted series, with many wishing for the series or a similar game to come to PlayStation.
• It's been nearly a decade since Uncharted 4's release, and nothing truly has come close to replicating that level of action and adventure.
• With Indiana Jones and the Great Circle on the horizon, perhaps that Uncharted itch will be scratched.

Uncharted 4: A Thief's End is nearing a decade since its 2016 launch for the PlayStation 4. Yes, you read that right. It's been nearly a decade since Nathan Drake's epic story came to a fitting conclusion.

And in that near decade since release, few things have come as close to replicating Naughty Dog's blend of action, adventure, platforming, gunplay, puzzles and more. It turns out, that mish-mash of genres is something that is sorely missed, as evidenced by a massive Reddit thread titled, "This generation desperately needs its own Uncharted."

The thread, which has over 4,000 upvotes and nearly 1,500 comments at the time of publication, laments the lack of Uncharted, or an Uncharted-like game on the PS5.

An Uncharted Remake Has A Treasure Trove Of Potential

The rumored remake of Nathan Drake's original adventure would spell good fortune for fans.

Bring Back Nathan Drake Or Someone!

"Definitely agree, Last of Us is great but so depressing," one user wrote. "Uncharted was lighthearted fun and adventure, sometimes you just need that, especially with PS5 graphics."

If there is one thing that gamers have discovered over the last week or so, it's that games don't need to be some avant-garde story. Astro Bot is perfect, whimsical fun, which is exactly what games should be.

"We do need an intense, over the top action/adventure for this gen," another user commented. Perhaps Indiana Jones and the Great Circle will scratch that itch, though it's important to remember that its developers, Machinegames, are emphasizing hand-to-hand combat over gunplay.

Meanwhile, this user had a different idea entirely. "I'd like to see the Infamous series revived," they wrote. Certainly, Infamous would be ripe for a revival. That's another title that blends combat, discovery, platforming and an interesting story all into one package.

The rest of the thread is filled with similar sentiments, as well as ideas about where another Uncharted game could theoretically go. It's worth mentioning that Uncharted might not necessarily be dead.

Gamers might recall the "Live from PlayStation" trailer that Sony produced about a year ago. That trailer featured live-action cuts of multiple exclusives, including Spider-Man and God of War. Hidden in that trailer was a quick cut to a young woman with a torch exploring a cave. That's about as clear of an Uncharted homage as it gets.

Either way, it's clear that fans are missing Nathan Drake and company. We're right there with them, too, as Uncharted remains one of Sony's best series of all-time.
