It is hard to believe that we are rapidly approaching ten years since the last Uncharted entry but despite the decade-long hiatus, Naughty Dog is seemingly in no rush to bring usUncharted 5.
Check out the trailer for theUncharted: The Nathan Drake Collectionbelow!
Consisting of eight games altogether but four of them being main entries, the Uncharted series has gone from strength to strength over the past twenty years with its most recent entry,Uncharted 4: A Thief’s Endbeing released back in 2016.

However, with Naughty Dog working on releasing multiple remasters forThe Last of Usas well as announcing its brand-new IPIntergalactic: The Heretic Prophet,it would seem as though the studio is pushing the Uncharted series to the back burner.
Despite fans beingunhappy about it, they are still holding out hope thatUncharted 5will be released one day but if it is, who could replace Nathan Drake if he wasn’t to return?
That very discussion kicked off a few years back over on r/uncharted with one userasking, “If Nathan doesn’t return forUncharted 5,who would you like to be the main character?”
The question was posted alongside three potential candidates: Sam Drake, Chloe Frazer or Cassie Drake.

Each of these choices would make sense, especially Cassie carrying on her father’s legacy but as you can imagine, fans had their own thoughts on our next protagonist.
Lady_Gaysun added, “They said Nathan’s story is done, so if they make more Uncharted I have a feeling we would see more Sam, if Troy would say yes.
I’d honestly love any of them to return, I’d adore the legacy-trio to save the world some more.”

However, Wolf_Sis4evr believes the series should end with Nathan.
They said, “I honestly don’t think they should touch the games again.
I think it’s perfect to leave the way it is unless you want more from Chloe and Nadine and Sam.”
It remains to be seen if Naughty Dog will continue the Uncharted series, and if so, with who at the helm but for now, we can look forward to its brand-new IP coming soon.
