A new claim from an industry insider suggests that Naughty Dog may be developing a new entry in the Uncharted series alongside its already announced project, Intergalactic The Heretic Prophet. The information comes from Alir, who previously shared details related to a State of Play announcement.
Responding to a user who said, “Naughty Dog has been developing a second single player game alongside Intergalactic for a few years now.” When asked whether the project could be tied to the Uncharted franchise, the insider responded, “Yes, it’s indeed an Uncharted game.” This aligns with earlier reports pointing to a second ongoing project at the studio.
Naughty Dog has already acknowledged that it is working on another title in addition to Intergalactic. In March 2025, insider DanielRPK stated that the unannounced project was not The Last of Us III and was instead being directed by Shaun Escayg, known for his work on Uncharted: The Lost Legacy and Marvel’s Avengers. “Naughty Dog has a second project (not The Last of Us III), directed by Shaun Escayg (Uncharted: The Lost Legacy, Avengers),” he said, adding, “It’s been in development for three years now.”
Further speculation has been fueled by Escayg’s recent social media activity, where he shared a post captioned “Research…” alongside an image from Fort George in Trinidad and Tobago. The location has drawn attention due to its historical ties to maritime conflicts and lost treasure, elements that closely align with the themes traditionally explored in the Uncharted series.
Trinidad and Tobago has long been associated with stories of sunken ships, pirate legends, and lost cargo from the colonial era, making it a plausible setting for a new installment. Meanwhile, narrative threads from Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End, including the introduction of Nathan Drake’s daughter Cassie, have previously been seen as a possible direction for the series moving forward.
Naughty Dog has not issued any official statement regarding a new Uncharted title. The studio’s currently announced project, Intergalactic The Heretic Prophet, also remains without a confirmed release date.
