The Drake's Fortune subtitle is a reference to the fictional main character, Nathan Drake, who believes himself to be a descendant of famed explorer Sir Francis Drake. A 400-year-old clue in the coffin of Sir Francis Drake sets the modern-day fortune hunter on an exploration for the fabled treasure of El Dorado, leading to the discovery of a forgotten island in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. The search turns deadly when Drake becomes stranded on the island and hunted by mercenaries. Outnumbered and outgunned, Drake and his companions must fight to survive as they begin to unravel the terrible secrets hidden on the Island.

A New Composer Took Over the Score

This was the first mainline Uncharted where Greg Edmonson didn't handle the main score. Henry Jackman stepped in instead and wrote a new take on Nate's Theme, blending the old melody with a rougher, more piratey feel for a track simply titled A Thief's End.
