A new gameplay trailer has been released this week providing a further look at the new Uncharted: The Lost Legacy game which will be officially launching next month on August 22nd, 2017 and will be available exclusively on the PlayStation 4.
The latest gameplay trailer released by developer Naughty Dog shows Chloe and Nadine exploring the Western Ghats in order to find an ancient Indian artifact. This new installment promises to deliver the same thrilling adventure and intricate storytelling that fans of the Uncharted series have come to expect.
Gameplay and Mechanics
As a standalone expansion to the Uncharted series, players control Chloe Frazer, who seeks the Tusk of Ganesh in the mountains of India in the midst of a civil war, with the help of mercenary Nadine Ross. The game is played from a third-person perspective; players use firearms, and can use melee combat and stealth to defend against hostile enemies.
Players solve puzzles, incorporating several platformer elements to advance the narrative, and navigate the game world on-foot or by vehicle. In combat, players can use long-ranged weapons, such as rifles and shotguns, and short-barreled guns such as pistols and revolvers; handheld explosives such as grenades and C4 are also available.
The game also introduces new mechanics and features that enhance the overall experience. For instance, the grappling hook, which was a popular addition in Uncharted 4, makes a return, allowing players to swing across chasms and reach otherwise inaccessible areas. Additionally, the game includes more open-world elements, giving players the freedom to explore the lush, detailed environments of the Western Ghats at their own pace.
Characters and Storyline
Chloe Frazer, a fan-favorite character from previous Uncharted games, takes the lead in The Lost Legacy. Known for her wit, resourcefulness, and complex moral compass, Chloe’s character adds depth to the narrative. Her partnership with Nadine Ross, a formidable mercenary introduced in Uncharted 4, creates a dynamic duo that brings a fresh perspective to the series.
The storyline delves into Chloe’s background and motivations, providing players with a richer understanding of her character. As they journey through the Western Ghats, Chloe and Nadine must navigate not only the treacherous terrain but also their own conflicting personalities and pasts. This character-driven narrative is complemented by the game’s stunning visuals and immersive sound design, which bring the world of Uncharted to life.
The Lost Legacy also explores themes of heritage and legacy, as Chloe seeks the Tusk of Ganesh, an artifact of great historical and cultural significance. The game’s setting in India offers a vibrant and diverse backdrop, filled with ancient temples, bustling markets, and dense jungles. This rich environment is not just a visual treat but also plays a crucial role in the gameplay, with numerous hidden paths, secret areas, and challenging puzzles.
The new gameplay trailer has certainly heightened anticipation for Uncharted: The Lost Legacy. With its compelling characters, engaging storyline, and refined gameplay mechanics, it promises to be a worthy addition to the Uncharted series. Fans and newcomers alike can look forward to an unforgettable adventure when the game launches on August 22nd, 2017.
