That’s why it’s a surprise to find ourselves 23 minutes into our sit-down and having a different conversation altogether. North is reflecting on the fact that Uncharted 4, which is due out next spring, is “quite possibly” the last one, after ten years of unreal adventuring. “I got into bed last night and thought, ‘I’m getting old.’ I remember meeting so many people - meeting you - what, four, five years ago? Things move so fast,” he says, without the ring of rehearsal that often comes with his stories. “Everything I’m looking at through my eyes looks the same - and then you look in the mirror and think ‘A little extra grey on the side.’ And I can do something about that, but, you realise…” - there’s a breath here, during which I wonder how directly the immortal Nathan Drake is going to address the inevitable press of time - “...it’s like when anything is getting close to the end. It’s just a little daunting.”
