More information about Uncharted 4's plot surfaced on the interwebs just recently.
In an article published by International Business Times, it was suggested that the game will take place 3 years after the last Uncharted game. Drake was reportedly living a normal and peaceful life with his young family for once, until Sam, the brother he thought was dead, paid him a visit.
"Sam appears and is in need of Drake. Sam's life depends on him finding an artefact from Henry Avery, a certain benefactor. Drake feels indebted to his brother, although he can't resist getting back on the treasure hunting tracks of the past. There on, the story takes Drake and Sam to Libertalia which is 'a mythic Madagascar colony purportedly founded by pirates,'" the article said.
The site also explained that unlike previous Uncharted games, Uncharted 4 will veer away from the linear approach to "break away from the usual norm and introduce multiple paths."
The highly anticpated release boasts of outstanding and realistic visuals. And while some are currently not blown-away with the gameplay previews Naughty Dog has released, many are saying that the new game will be awesome on the next-gen console PS4.
As Business Insider noted, "The 'next-generation' gaming consoles, the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, have been on the market for exactly a year now. So even though they're technically "current-generation," people still have yet to see a game that truly uses the power of these new machines."
The 4th and last installment has been previously rumored to have a July 2015 release date, but Brett Helwani of GameNow has reported that the Sony hackers have uncovered documents alleging that the Uncharted 4 release date is set for October 2015.
With new Uncharted 4 rumors circulating, Sony Computer Entertainment Australia and New Zealand Managing Director Michael Ephraim still play coy when asked about any release date updates.
"We don't know, that's the honest answer. We're very excited about it and I think that title will be massive. It's a very popular franchise; in fact it's our number one first-party franchise," he told Stevivor.
"Of course, Uncharted will be the highlight of the year for us though."
