As if one awesome CG trailer for Uncharted 4 wasn’t enough, Naughty Dog has only gone and launched another! The flashy new teaser clocks in at thirty seconds and is to be shown in cinemas this weekend with the release of Batman Vs. Superman.
Again, it’s beautifully put together as Drake looks back on his life, questioning the decisions that have lead him to this closing chapter. Naughty Dog have said that Uncharted 4 will conclude this character’s story which has us thinking: will they actually kill him off?
We’ll find out when the game launched on May 10th, exclusively on PlayStation 4.

Awesome, cheers for that.

Do they really need to use “CG” when they’re the most realistic graphics ever?
Sam dies, calling it.

No way they’re going to kill off Drake. If it really is their last Uncharted game, they’ll want to go out on a high not on a downer.
If they do kill him, I can see the opening cinematic for Uncharted 5 being Drake waking up in the shower…

It could be their way of telling Sony that they refuse to do any more Uncharted games for the time being. But it would be both surprising and well, kinda dickish of ND to do.

Didn’t something similar happen to the original Tomb Raider games? Im sure I saw a documentary ages ago about how by the time the 4th TR game was being made, the whole dev team hated the TR games so much that it was decided early on to kill Lara off in TR 4 – so they wouldn’t have to make a fifth game.
She didnt stay dead long however as they released TR Chronicles a year or so later and it was implied that she was still alive.
I dont think ND hate Uncharted but they must know that while this is THEIR last Uncharted game, it probably wont be THE last Uncharted game so killing Nate would be pointless. Sony will find a way to bring him back if there’s still a decent amount interest in the character and money to be made.

I think with TR, the plan was to either force Sony or the publisher to give them a break by killing off Lara thus going “can’t. We killed her.” or to get away from it. Shame it didn’t work but i’ve not played TR and know little about it.
ND and Sony seem to be on good terms so i can’t see Sony forcing them to do UC. But if ND do kill Drake off just to prevent more UC game work for a few years, it’ll be understanable as i can see them being burnt out. Hell, i wouldn’t be surprised if TLOU was just them going to Sony and saying “We don’t mind UC, in fact, we love it but we’re going to do a new IP. Just a change.” and Sony going “Ok. Do what you want.”
TLOU 2 is bound to happen and i can see them making UC4 their final work for UC for at least 5 years to recharge or just because they feel they took Drake as far as they could. That and the North Baker war may have had something to do with it.

Unlikely they will off Drake as that would well, undermine the tone of the franchise and ND don’t really do dark endings. I can see the thief’s end being Drake ending his career as a thief along with, maybe getting an injury that forces him out as well. I can understand why if they do kill him off as i can see Sony going to them and telling them to keep doing UC stuff thus it being a case of them going “Feck this, Drake’s dead. Here’s the final game.” but it would be both shocking and surprising if they did that. That and Sony and ND tend to have a healthy relationship.
I do hope that if this is the final UC game, it will mean ND will focus on TLOU if they have decided to build that into their next franchise. And well, almost 10 years is rather long to be working on one franchise.

The Last of Us 2. Yes please! But hopefully with new characters. The first game was so perfect, I dont want them to risk spoiling it. I know it’s ND but still, a new story would be better IMO.

But Sony don’t tell them to do anything. It’s been stated more than once that they have full creative control.
They have a new IP in it’s early stages that’s “as big as TLOU or Uncharted”. That was from an interview with OPM in 2014 I think.
Starman
I think the franchise will continue with a son/daughter of Nathan becoming the new character.
