Uncharted Franchise Officially Ended With Lost Legacy 7 Years Ago

Expert Verified By

It's Been Too Long Since Uncharted Went Away!

Story Highlight
  • Uncharted: The Lost Legacy was released on this day seven years ago.
  • It marked the end of the series, becoming the last release from Naughty Dog before it moved on.
  • The game was well-received since it focused on familiar characters like Chloe Frazer and introduced more open exploration elements.

The Uncharted franchise was around for a whole decade, pioneering genre-defining third-person action games on PlayStation. With witty characters, heart-pumping action, and memorable stories, this franchise always brought something unique to the table.

However, Naughty Dog concluded the series with Uncharted 4. The studio offered one last send-off with Uncharted: The Lost Legacy in 2017, bidding the series farewell forever.

Why it matters: The Uncharted series put Naughty Dog on the map, making the studio famous as one of the industry’s most talented teams in terms of cinematic offerings. This success was later continued with The Last of Us.

Uncharted 4 already ended on a high note after setting an exceptional bar for story-telling, visuals, and gameplay in the genre.

The Lost Legacy mostly offered more of the same without changing the core formula. However, this was hardly anything to complain about since fans already enjoyed Naughty Dog’s work on the last entry.

It is also important to note that Uncharted: The Lost Legacy came as a bit of a surprise. Following Uncharted 4, fans thought the series would be put to rest, but Naughty Dog had one last adventure as a treat for its audience.

This standalone release came with the same cinematic flair and well-written characters that everyone expected. However, it also expanded on the previous game’s open sections, allowing players more room to explore between the more focused narrative moments.

Familiar characters like Chloe Frazer and Sam Drake returned, while fans got to see another side of antagonist Nadine Ross. These characters were given more time to grow and develop, giving their adventure purpose and meaning.

Suffice it to say, Uncharted: The Lost Legacy carried the same strengths as its predecessor, serving as a solid last release.

Seven years later, the demand for a franchise revival is high. Naughty Dog also seems to be stuck in a vicious cycle of launching re-release after re-release, so fans hope to see the studio returning to the thrilling treasure hunts of Uncharted once again.
