We already know that Naughty Dog were looking to highlight their latest Uncharted project during the Sony E3 2017 conference.

And having spoken to a member of the team since the big presentation, it makes perfect sense why Uncharted The Lost Legacy was given the full limelight over The Last of Us Part 2.

While the story may only involve certain characters from the main series, the footage we saw during E3 2017 certainly reveals a full-blooded Uncharted adventure.

With Chloe Frazer enlisting the aid of renowned mercenary Nadine Ross, we find the game’s heroes battling some well-equipped enemies through a series of ancient structures that makes for another excellent backdrop.

But how were Naughty Dog able to put together a project like this in such a short space of time?

Well it appears that Naughty Dog’s full team started working on the new project weeks after Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End was wrapped up.
