In a recent post on Instagram, Naughty Dog director Shaun Escayg posted a photo with a caption simply reading “research”. The photo itself was simply of a landscape, with a beach, city, and forest-like area being seen in the background, and an old-timey canon being seen front and center in the foreground. While Escayg provided no specifics of what he was researching at this location, the image quickly reminded many of the Uncharted series, as this environment is quite similar to those that have been seen throughout past games. As a result, it prompted many to deduce that Escayg could be teasing that a new Uncharted game is now in development at Naughty Dog.

This Uncharted Revival Would Make Perfect Sense
If Escayg’s tease is indeed tied to the Uncharted series, then it would make a ton of sense. For starters, Escayg previously served as the director of Uncharted: The Lost Legacy. While he would leave Naughty Dog soon after the launch of The Lost Legacy, he returned to the studio in 2021 and has since been quietly toiling away on an unknown title. Given his history with helming an Uncharted project, it would be logical for those in charge at Naughty Dog to tap him to direct a new installment in the series.
