Sam is roughly five years older than Nathan Drake. If he isn’t a Drake, who is he? What has he been hiding? If this truly is his last chapter, Naughty Dog will likely flesh Nathan out and reveal all of the answers from his secret past. The focus of these moments will likely be on discovering who Nathan really is. There's also a chance this note hints at a more fantastical True Lies-esque situation in which Elena doesn’t know Nathan is on an adventure and he needs to check in with her frequently.Īs for Nathan himself, we believe we will see more of his story unfold in flashback sequences similar to those in Uncharted 3. However, if you look closely at Nathan's notebook in the PlayStation Experience demo, you can see a note that reads “Call Elena", suggesting a desire to stay in close contact with her. Conversely, we could find out that Nathan and Elena didn’t work in the domesticated setting. We wouldn’t be surprised if we learn about Nathan and Elena having a child or two. Three years is more than enough time for Nathan and Elena to have started a family. Naughty Dog has danced (not so lightly) around this adventure being Nathan’s last. The banter we’ve seen between the two brothers has an edge to it, potentially pointing at a lack of trust between them. Nathan is instead with his brother, a magnet for trouble who carries as much baggage as Nathan does secrets. Sully is a father figure of sorts to Nathan and a reliable voice of reason. He doesn’t have his trusty companion Sully at his side for a portion of this adventure.
Twisting his arm to get back into the game may not be tough. We know he’s addicted to the chase, the danger, and the adrenaline coursing through his blood when he’s on the hunt. He’s holstered his pistol to live a normal life at the side of his wife, Elena.Īt the request of his brother, he turns his world upside down for another shot at an impossible treasure. Nathan is noticeably older, showing crow’s feet under his eyes, and the occasional highlight of gray in his hair and whiskers. Over the next few pages, we’ve assembled all of the information we know about each of the characters in Uncharted 4, and also cast our own speculation as to how some of the series' familiar faces may be involved. He clearly isn’t going into this hunt with confidence, or people he can trust. Naughty Dog hasn’t revealed much in terms of character development, or even who the key players of Uncharted 4 will be, but has dropped a few names and hints that give us an idea of who Nathan might be up against and adventuring with.įrom the reunion with his brother, the strain of being away from his wife, and the race to find Avery’s riches before a band of rival treasure hunters do, Nathan’s life sounds like a whirlwind of chaos. Is part of that equation Sam? Elena? Could it be Sully? What about Nathan himself? The cost, from what we know, will likely be personal to Nathan. Whenever Naughty Dog’s scribes talk about Avery’s gold, the line ‘every treasure has its cost’ is delivered soon after. He’s on the island he believes holds Avery’s treasure and the fabled pirate colony called Libertalia.
He knows one thing: He’s in the right place. He doesn’t even know if Sam is still alive. He has no equipment or means of contacting anyone. Nathan's only option is to seek refuge in a cave. A tropical storm blankets his vision and prevents him from searching until the rain ceases. We learn that Nathan washes ashore with no knowledge of his brother’s location. They are separated by the harsh ocean currents.
SAM DRAKE UNCHARTED 4 SERIES
Through another series of events Naughty Dog is keeping shrouded in secrecy, Nathan and Sam find trouble on the high seas, leading to their boat crashing and the brothers being thrown overboard. We don’t know how Nathan is lured away from his domesticated life – either by his own volition or by another means linked to his brother – but he plunges back into his old adrenaline-seeking self, and travels with his brother by boat to a small island off of Madagascar. It also brings a price: coming out of retirement and turning his back on his family. Sam’s surprising return comes with a hope: a new clue that could lead to the location of Avery’s haul. Sam is Nathan’s long-lost brother – a sibling he thought died many years ago. He removed himself from the dangers of looking for dead men’s gold for approximately three years, until his brother Sam showed up. He abandoned his quest to find it, and recently put treasure hunting behind him altogether, settling into a life or normalcy with his other love, Elena. He’s chased it before, but has come up with nothing to show for his efforts. For thrill-seeker Nathan Drake, Avery’s haul has been somewhat of a white whale. Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End pushes players to unearth one of the greatest pirate treasures of all – Henry Avery’s stash, worth an estimated two to four hundred million dollars.
