Uncharted 4 Designer Gives Fans a Taste of New-Gen Nathan Drake

Uncharted 4: A Thief's End lead game designer Kurt Margenau is teasing series fans with another look at protagonist Nathan Drake in next-gen form.

Tweeted via Margenau’s account, the photo was captured at the Naughty Dog 30th Anniversary Art Show held at the Gallery Nucleus in Alhambra, California. The PS4-rendered image depicts an older, gruffer Drake as he smolders at something in the distance.

Naughty Dog initially teased the new Uncharted PS4 game during Sony's PlayStation 4 All Access event last November and officially revealed it at E3 2014. Uncharted 4 is set several years after Drake’s last adventure as he “embarks on a globe-trotting journey in pursuit of a historical conspiracy behind a fabled pirate treasure.”

Naughty Dog co-president Evan Wells explained last month that the upcoming Uncharted installment will remain a light-hearted romp even though its development is spearheaded by The Last of Us heads Bruce Straley and Neil Druckmann.
