drakesfortune | The Next Uncharted Game is Not Really an Uncharted Game

I told you not to get too excited. The next Uncharted game will be a "casino/card game", according to its Brazilian ratings clasification.

Called Uncharted: Fight for Fortune, it's for the PlayStation Vita, and given it's lack of marketing to the point where it's being revealed by ratings boards, you can bet it'll be a fairly simple and cheap affair.

Australian Classification Board Reveals Uncharted: Fight for Fortune

It is difficult to keep secrets in the gaming world. The Australian Classification Board has revealed details about Uncharted: Fight for Fortune in its listing.

The game has been given a "G" rating for its "very mild impact" violence and drug use.

The game is still being developed by One Loop Games and will be published by Sony. One Loop Games has previously developed downloadable content for Xbox 360, PlayStation Network and mobile phones. The studio has worked on gaming titles like mobile game adaptations of the God of War series, Ratchet & Clank: Going Mobile, Spider Man 3, Wheel of Fortune and James Bond: Casino Royale. It has also rolled out social or casual games. Some of the AAA titles it has worked on include Star Wars Episode 3, Full Spectrum Warrior and The Saboteur. [SOURCE]

'Uncharted: Fight for Fortune' classified as multiplatform 'card / casino' game

Nathan Drake may have alluded to settling down at the conclusion of “Uncharted 3: Drake’s Deception”, but developer One Loop Games may have other plans for the heroic treasure hunter. In what could have been an accidental leak by the Australian Classification Board on Monday, it was revealed that a new entry in the “Uncharted” universe, “Fight for Fortune” has been in the works.

Following this release of information was further confirmation from the Brazilian Ratings Board, which classified the game as a multiplatform “casino / card” game. Unfortunately, that’s where the information stops, and One Loop Games is remaining pretty tight lipped about the unconfirmed title. It can be assumed, though, that “Fight for Fortune” will make its way to the Playstation 3 and PS Vita gaming systems, potentially opening up cross-platform multiplayer.

Now that the information is out there, it’s time to speculate as to what “Fight for Fortune” will deliver. According to the Australian Classification Board, the entirety of the “Uncharted” series has been stamped with an MA 15+ rating, including the latest PS Vita title “Golden Abyss”. This mysterious entry, though, has been tagged with a G rating, citing very mild violence and drug use. Could Nathan Drake find himself much like Solid Snake did in the spinoff “Metal Gear Acid” series, relying on a deck of cards to determine his fait? Without Naughty Dogs involvement, "Fight for Fortune" may mark a complete separation from "Uncharted's" signature adventure.

Surely, now that the title is out in the open, One Loop Games may be forced to play their hand and divulge the public with an official announcement. As of now, though, the public will have to deal with the uninformative “Secret Project # 1” and “Secret Project # 2” designations on the company’s website. [SOURCE]
