'You Just Don't Want to Make a Kingdom of the Crystal Skull': Nolan North Is Staying in Shape Just in Case Sony Calls About Uncharted 5

North said he would return as Nathan Drake if Sony asks, while Naughty Dog reportedly has multiple games in development.

  • Actor Nolan North confirmed he would return as Nathan Drake for a potential Uncharted 5, speaking at the Gamergy show in Puerto Rico. North said he tries to "stay in shape" in case of a call.
  • Reports suggest Naughty Dog is developing a new entry in the adventure series, with director Shaun Escayg reportedly leading the project. The studio is also working on Intergalactic and Heretic Prophet.
  • North believes the franchise remains a massive opportunity for Sony. "I think it would be one of the biggest games ever if they decided to do it," North said, emphasizing the project's commercial potential.
  • While fans await new adventures, North emphasized that Naughty Dog must avoid the pitfalls of the Indiana Jones movie Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. Quality execution is essential to franchise success.
  • It has been 10 years since the last game concluded Drake's story, opening the possibility for a fresh adventure featuring his daughter, Cassie. This gap creates narrative opportunity for the studio's next entry.
