Naughty Dog: Uncharted: The Lost Legacy is a bit of a departure from A Thief’s End

Naughty Dog had a pretty major showing at PlayStation Experience 2016. While most of the focus was on The Last of Us Part II, there was another trailer that made a quite a few waves for how unexpected it was. I'm talking of course about Uncharted: The Lost Legacy. As you can see from the trailer above, The Lost Legacy does not bear much resemblance to Uncharted 4: A Thief's End. If anything, it looks a lot closer to The Last of Us, given its slower and more methodical pace.

Official PlayStation Magazine UK caught up with a couple of higher-ups from Naughty Dog who gave a little insight into what we can expect from The Lost Legacy.

Creative Director Shaun Escayg said:

"It [will] be tonally different, but in the same context of the Uncharted world. India’s got really nice iconography: hidden temples and weird deities we can play off of, so it’s a perfect setting for Uncharted: The Lost Legacy."

"It started as DLC, but we couldn’t find… well, we needed a longer time for the story to develop, and now I would say it’s a story expansion. That’s how we’re terming it."

"I would say we’re going a little more wide this time. I don’t want to give too much away, but it’s something we’re excited about on the gameplay side, this kind of contrast of an urban setting and a rural setting; a tighter experience and more open experience."
