The latest PS4 blockbuster is a gorgeous and dangerous romp through India
The blockbuster "Uncharted" video game series has always been a mix of "Indiana Jones" with "Tomb Raider," starring a devilish, charming protagonist named Nathan Drake. But in the brand-new "Uncharted: The Lost Legacy," the series' formula is finally getting mixed up: Instead of the same old Drake, two new female protagonists are taking the lead.
Rather than attempting a sequel to the notably conclusive "Uncharted 4: A Thief's End," the story of "The Lost Legacy" is a spin-off set in the wake of the last game. But don't get things twisted: This is definitely an "Uncharted" game still, from third-person shooting to swinging on vines to exotic locales.
Better yet: "Uncharted: The Lost Legacy" arrives this coming Tuesday, August 22, on the PlayStation 4. As such, we've put together everything we know about the game ahead of launch.
This is Chloe Frazer, one of the two protagonists in "Uncharted: The Lost Legacy." She's who you'll actually play as, while your compatriot assists (like Sculley in previous games).
This is Nadine Ross, a mercenary with ties to the game's antagonist (who we'll meet in a moment). The relationship between Chloe and Nadine isn't exactly positive, which is one of the central tensions in the story of "The Lost Legacy."
This bespectacled gentleman is known only as Asav. He's a rebel leader, and he's got a past with Nadine — he's also the bad guy.
In a Game Informer piece from March, the game's creative director Shaun Escayg said Asav "has history with the government; he feels left out in solving the conflicts the government solved at one point and he’s now a lone rebel trying to create war and profit from it."
We know he also used to work for the government, so it sounds like he has a chip on his shoulder about something from the past. Could that "something from the past" have involved Nadine as well? We shall see.
