Fans were expecting a story DLC for "Uncharted 4: A Thief's End" to be unveiled at this year's Playstation Experience, but Naughty Dog had something bigger in mind.

The developer has announced a standalone title for the "Uncharted" franchise titled, "Uncharted 4: The Lost Legacy," featuring the ladies of "Uncharted," Chloe Frazer from "Uncharted 2" and Nadine Ross from "Uncharted 4."

From Extension To Standalone Expansion

Meant to become only as a story DLC for "Uncharted 4," "The Lost Legacy" turned out to be a big title on its own.

"When we began to plot out the story and our vision for the game, we realized we were building something more than an extension of 'Uncharted 4', and instead, a standalone story in the 'Uncharted' universe," the game's creative director, Shaun Escayg explained on the Naughty Dog blog. "We wanted this adventure to feature all of the hallmarks of the series, from cinematic storytelling set within exotic destinations, to dynamic combat and intricate puzzles."

A Fan Favorite Returns

Naughty Dog knows what the community likes, and bringing back master thief Chloe Frazer has made most of the fans completely excited about "The Lost Legacy."

"She's also a strong and enigmatic character - in other words, perfect to be our lead protagonist in 'Uncharted: The Lost Legacy'," Escayg said.

Chloe is a well loved character in the franchise so this will be a surefire hit with the fans. It is also interesting to find out how Chloe ended up working with Nadine, and with Naughty Dog's great storytelling, fans are sure to have a great new adventure with these two.

But Where's Nathan Drake?

One question remains: Will Nathan Drake himself appear in the game?

Naughty Dog has previously confirmed that it is the end of the line for our charming protagonist, but that does not stop him from appearing in the new game. Nathan taking a lead role in "The Lost Legacy" may not be possible, but a cameo is highly likely.

Where Will The "Uncharted" Franchise Go From Here?

It is interesting to see whether or not Naughty Dog will continue "Uncharted" beyond Nathan Drake, telling a brand new story and introducing both new and well-loved characters into the franchise.

Will "Uncharted 4: The Lost Legacy" shine? We will find out when it gets released next year.
