PS5 ad teases Uncharted 5, PlayStation fans believe

A brand new PlayStation 5 advert seems to incorporate a mysterious tease for an unannounced sport that some followers imagine could be the subsequent Uncharted — one which doesn’t star Nathan Drake as its protagonist.

The brand new advert, titled “Stay from PS5,” presents Sony’s suite of exclusives, each from PlayStation Studios and third events like Sq. Enix, as live-action clips on a information broadcast. These clips spotlight video games like God of Battle Ragnarök, Marvel’s Spider-Man 2, Horizon Forbidden West, Returnal, and Gran Turismo 7. One other live-action clip, which is seen solely briefly, seconds-long bursts, exhibits a younger girl exploring a cave lit solely by a torch, and encountering an historic artifact and blowing the mud off it. The footage doesn’t seem to match any launched or introduced sport from Sony Interactive Leisure.

That’s why some PlayStation followers imagine it’s a tease for the subsequent Uncharted sport, and that it’s going to star Nathan Drake and Elena Fisher’s daughter, Cassie.

Cassie appeared as a younger teenager within the playable epilogue of Uncharted 4: A Thief’s Finish. Whereas the ending of the sport doesn’t reveal an excessive amount of about her character, it’s clear she has inherited her dad and mom’ sense of journey, and generally joins Nate and Elena on expeditions. However she’s unaware of the extent of her father’s treasure-hunting escapades — that’s, till she finds the important thing to Nate’s secret cupboard, and her dad and mom are pressured to return clear about their adventurous previous. Given Cassie’s pursuits and abilities — she has a love of historical past and archaeology, speaks Latin, and may scuba dive — she looks as if a pure match for the video gaming adventuring way of life.

The lady seen within the new PS5 advert seems to be much like a grown-up Cassie. She’s decked out in jungle fatigues and carrying a backpack and climbing gear.

Naughty Canine co-president Neil Druckmann (who co-directed Uncharted 4) just lately instructed Buzzfeed that the studio behind the Uncharted video games put its “closing brushstroke on that story,” saying it was completed and “shifting on.” However that doesn’t imply one other studio couldn’t decide up the place Naughty Canine left off, particularly with a brand new heroine. Different groups, together with Bend Studio (Uncharted: Golden Abyss) and Bluepoint Video games (Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Assortment) have had their fingers on the franchise. In any case, Sony Photos CEO Tom Rothman has stated final yr’s Uncharted movie adaptation is the beginning of a film franchise, so Sony’s not able to let the Drake household go.
