Uncharted, the popular video game franchise, is getting the movie sequel it deserves. Fans of the series can rejoice as Sony Pictures has officially confirmed that a second Uncharted film is in the works. This news comes shortly after Nintendo announced the release date for their highly anticipated Mario sequel in Japan.
The trend of turning video games into movies seems to be continuing, with the success of the first Uncharted movie and the announcement of The Super Mario Bros. Movie 2. While there are no details yet on who will be reprising their roles, it's likely that Tom Holland and Mark Wahlberg will return as Nathan Drake and Victor Sullivan. After all, the first film was one of the highest-grossing video game adaptations ever.
As for the plot of the sequel, it's speculated that it will be a direct adaptation of the first game in the series, Drake's Fortune. The end of the first film already hinted at the introduction of Nate's brother Sam and the possibility of the villain Gabriel Roman making an appearance. Fans of the games will also be excited to see how the movie incorporates elements from the games, as the first film had very few direct connections.
While Naughty Dog, the developers of Uncharted, have stated that they will not be making any more games in the series, Sony is not ruling out the possibility of other developers taking on the franchise. In fact, a LinkedIn post from April 2022 revealed that new teams were being formed to continue the "legacy of Uncharted."
The first Uncharted movie had a budget of $120 million and grossed $407 million worldwide, making it a major hit for Sony. However, it still falls behind The Super Mario Bros. Movie, which earned an impressive $1.36 billion on a $100 million budget. It's no wonder that video game adaptations are becoming more and more popular, with other recent examples including Gran Turismo, Mortal Kombat, Detective Pikachu, and Sonic The Hedgehog. And let's not forget the success of TV adaptations such as The Last of Us and Fallout.
As for the future of the Uncharted franchise, there is still a possibility for a fifth game to be made.
