Uncharted 4 is set three years after the events in its predecessor, Uncharted 3: Drake’s Deception, when Nathan’s brother Sam needs his help (which comes as quite a surprise considering Nathan thought Sam was dead). This forced Nathan out of retirement to once again return to fortune hunting in search of pirate treasure.
“His greatest adventure will test his physical limits, his resolve, and ultimately what he’s willing to sacrifice to save the ones he loves,”reads thePlayStation website.
It wasn’t untilE3 2015where the true extent of the graphics and gameplay were revealed. During Sony’s E3 conference, we were given an opportunity to watch a demo of Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End and it looked amazing. It features Nathan and Sully wandering through a French-speaking market before being ambushed by military soldiers. As you can imagine, an intense chase ensues – but we don’t want to ruin the surprise for you, so you can enjoy the full demo below.
