Beyond the Drake Saga: Chloe Frazer enlists the help of Nate's nemesis Nadine Ross. Together, Chloe and Nadine try their damnedest to stop a warlord from igniting an uprising in India; and the salvation of India's future may lie in the fabled Tusk of Ganesh, a long sought-after treasure which Chloe's father died trying to obtain. The Uncharted Legacy lives on.

The old Marco Polo minigame, first seen as a lighthearted moment between Nate and Elena back in Uncharted 2, shows up again here as a small optional distraction, a nice quiet callback for anyone who's been with the series a while.
Usman Ally, the Obie Award-winning stage actor behind antagonist Asav, has built a career out of playing bad guys across TV and film, and that experience shows in just how calm and unsettling he manages to make the character sound.
Meenu, the sharp young girl Chloe crosses paths with while shopping in India, was a brand new character created for this game, and voicing her marked actress Tierra Rorls's very first video game role.
The game picked up recognition well beyond gaming's usual circles, landing nominations at the BAFTA Games Awards for Best Performer for both Claudia Black and Laura Bailey, plus nods from the Annie Awards, the Visual Effects Society and The Game Awards.
It launched on PS4 in August 2017, but the game's journey didn't stop there, a remastered PS5 version arrived in January 2022 as part of the Legacy of Thieves Collection, followed by a PC release that October, letting a whole new wave of players hunt for the Tusk of Ganesh.
Naughty Dog made a deliberate choice to keep Chloe's core gameplay near-identical to Nate's, same weapons, same melee, same traversal, but they still put real care into her climbing, fighting and general movement so she'd feel like her own person rather than a reskin.
There's an unlockable item in this one that pulses whenever a nearby treasure is worth investigating, a handy little nudge for anyone who wants to comb through every corner of the Western Ghats without missing loot.
Scattered supply crates and lockboxes across the game usually hold ammo and grenades, but crack one open with the simple lock-picking minigame and you might land some of the best guns around, including the Silenced Pistol, an RPG, the China Lake shotgun-launcher, or the Harbinger sniper rifle.
