More to Come After Uncharted 3, Developer Thinks So

There very well could be more to the Uncharted franchise after Uncharted 3 releases later this year. Evan Wells of Naughty Dog said in a recent interview that the franchise wasn't "concieved as a trilogy". Since "Every single episode is a standalone adventure", the developer stated that they could continue to franchise in after Drake's Deception. "We feel like we can keep putting him in these scenarios that are self-contained that anyone can pick up and play, but if you have played and know the characters and storylines it can be an even more rewarding experience."

" I don't see why we wouldn't keep going and making more of those adventures as long as we've got the ideas." said Wells in a recent interview. And ideas aren't a commodity that Naughty Dog seems to be coming up short on. Both Uncharted games have had exceptional plotlines, with an incredible balance of storytelling, spetacular gameplay, and jaw dropping graphics. Everything we've seen thus far from Uncharted 3 looks like the developers have their sights set on topping what is widely regarded as the best action adventure game of the generation in Uncharted 2.

Naughty Dog Could Kill Off Drake if Uncharted 3 Called For It

Naughty Dog has recently made it perfectly clear that they have no qualms with axing off characters if it would move the narrative of the franchise forward. "If that's what it takes then that's what it takes, said Evan Wells of Naughty Dog when talking about the advancement of the franchise. It wasn't clear if the developer had plans to do this to Nathan Drake in the upcoming Uncharted 3, but I suppose anything is on the table according to the developer.

Wells continued, claiming that the company is "trying to keep things fresh and draw certain aspects of Nate's personality out as well as the characters he's surrounded with". It might not be Nathan Drake this time around, but is Naughty Dog softening the blow for the death of one of the other popular characters in the game? I don't know about you, but to me Sully looks like he could croak at any moment. [SOURCE]
