Nathan Drake's story is over, but Uncharted may not be.

Creative director Neil Druckmann teased that Naughty Dog may return to the Uncharted series during a recent livestream with Troy Baker, Ashley Johnson, and Nolan North - respectively the voices of Joel and Ellie from The Last of Us, and Nathan Drake from Uncharted.

"We're lucky that we have the freedom that Sony gives us where we can choose," Druckmann said of the studio's future plans. "We made Uncharted 4 and we haven't made another Uncharted since. Maybe one day we will, we'll see."

"We'll talk about it," North adds. "And by the way, what you just said, the internet just exploded."

Uncharted 4 and The Last of Us creative director Neil Druckmann discussed how Sony gives its first party studios the freedom to choose their own projects, instead of forcing them to pursue sequels.

Druckmann is a lot like God of War director Cory Barlog in that any time he so much as discusses potential projects, fans' eyes light up and their imaginations run wild, as North pointed out. But it's worth noting that this is just an off-the-cuff remark from Druckmann. There's no reason to believe that Naughty Dog is even actively considering an Uncharted 5, especially with the studio buckled down to ship The Last of Us 2.
