It appears that Naughty Dog was, at one point, working on a remake for the first Uncharted game, Uncharted Drake Fortune. And, earlier today, X’s member ‘Speclizer’ provided some proof of this.
Speclizer has discovered some references to the Uncharted Drake Fortune Remake in The Last of Us Part 2. For instance, there was a level definition referencing the plane crash scene in U1.

There was also a state script named “ss-cin-seaplane-animated-bg.bin” for the plane crash scene that is built to run on the latest ND engine.

Now I’m not saying that this project is still in development. For all we know, Sony and Naughty Dog may have put it on hold (or even canceled it). After all, these references were included in the 2020 build of TLOU2. So yes, at one point, ND was indeed working on it.
Recent rumors suggested that Sony was working on remakes of the first three Uncharted games for PS5 and PC. And, since we’ve never gotten the first three Uncharted games on PC, I’d welcome these remakes. Still, I couldn’t find any credible sources of this recent rumor. So, as with all rumors, I’d suggest taking this with a grain of salt.
To be honest, I was expecting Sony to first release Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection on PC. That would make more sense. Instead, we got the UNCHARTED: Legacy of Thieves Collection.
In case you’re wondering, no. Apart from those references, nothing else has been leaked. In other words, there haven’t been any leaked videos or screenshots. And if you find some online, they are most likely fake.
Stay tuned for more!
