Uncharted 3 – is a PS4 sequel already underway?

British actor Dominic Monaghan has implied he’s working on a new Uncharted game with The Last Of Us developer Naughty Dog.

Best known for his roles as Charlie from Lost and Merry from Lord of the Rings, Monaghan is currently appearing in a live action promotional series for The Bureau: XCOM Declassified.

During a conference call about the role though he mentioned a ‘new Uncharted’, despite Naughty Dog not having announced a new sequel.

‘I’ll always stay focused on the gaming world and see what’s coming up,’ he said according to GameSpot. ‘The new Uncharted I’m really excited to see how that’s going to be and obviously both new gaming systems.’




Although that seems pretty unambiguous we should point out that actors are historically the most unreliable source possible, somewhere just below ‘my dad’s mate at work’.

They frequently get confused as to the exact title they’re working on and often imply official announcements are imminent when they’re anything but.

In this case Monaghan clearly has been at Naughty Dog talking about something because he tweeted the image below. But whether it’s actually a big budget Uncharted 4 game for PlayStation 4, a portable spin-off, or maybe even another live action series we’ll have to wait and see.

As one of Sony’s top internal developers Naughty Dog has admitted they’ve already started work on something for the PlayStation 4, but they’ve given no hint as to whether it’s related to Uncharted, The Last Of Us, or something completely new.

They did however rule out a new Jak And Daxter game, which is who Monaghan is standing next to in the photo. They were prototyping a new sequel before starting work on The Last Of Us but claim they couldn’t come up with any compelling new ideas for the franchise.

Nathan Drake seems to have shrunk in the wash
