I’m never bored.”The Uncharted series is famous for its incredible set-pieces(Image: Sony)As per VGC, this could mean that Uncharted: The Lost Legacy's Shaun Escayg and The Last of Us Part II's Anthony Newman could be working on this mystery project.‌"I fully believe this is a new Uncharted. It's one of their best-selling franchises, and we know they've already attempted to revive it once before," one Reddit commenter said.Others point out that it's unlikely Druckmann would be more "hands off" if the next game is The Last of Us Part 3, while the company might shy away from another new IP if they're already working on Intergalactic.Uncharted debuted in 2007 as a PS3 exclusive, and there have been four mainline entries as well as two PlayStation Vita titles and The Lost Legacy, a smaller title that launched in 2017.Article continues belowUncharted 4: A Thief's End, was a PS4 exclusive that launched back in 2016, while Sony Pictures released a movie based on the series featuring Tom Holland and Mark Wahlberg in 2022.For the latest breaking news and stories from across the globe from the Daily Star, sign up for our newsletters.‌‌‌
