The game focuses on returning characters Chloe Frazer and Nadine Ross who first appeared in Uncharted 2 and 4 respectively. The first ever stand alone release for the series, The Lost Legacy will be as rich as a full game, with a complete story and cinematic cut scenes.
As mentioned before, the release will be a first for the series while it tries to refocus the story of Uncharted from protagonist Nathan Drake to the supporting characters surrounding him. The two new protagonists will likely act in a similar manner to Victor Sullivan and Drake, and share similarities with their goal to capture the Tusk of Ganesha in India – but we will find out for sure on August 22. On December 3 2016 Naughty Dog stated:
The future of the franchise could be spelled out by the direction and fan reception of the game as it will differ from the usual main story outlook but still hold most elements of the series. For instance the new standalone will take place in India but still take pieces of religion, in this case Hinduism, to influence the game’s art, puzzles and more.
Unlike Drake, Chloe has been said to be less of a brawler and more stealthy in her approach. Drake, who usually falls into scenarios and trouble will be flipped with Chloe, a treasure hunter, looking for the danger.
The game itself will be available for digital download as well as physically in stores, and players who have Uncharted 4 Digital Deluxe Edition or the Explorer’s Pack, will get Uncharted: The Lost Legacy as a download at launch. This is bundled for those who pre-order with Jak and Daxter: The Precursor Legacy on PS4.
