Sony-owned developer Naughty Dog
has produced some of the greatest games of the last 15 years. Specifically, all four
Uncharted
games and the first two parts of
The Last of Us
have all been met with glowing reviews. While making a name for themselves with series’ like
Jak
and
Crash Bandicoot
in the ’90s and early 2000s
,
Naughty Dog has become one of the most respected developers of the 2010s.
This is much in part to their engrossing storytelling mixed with grounded action and open-world exploration. All signs have pointed to the
Uncharted
series being a thing of the past after
Uncharted 4
and
Uncharted: The Lost Legacy
. However, the
Uncharted
story is getting a retelling through an upcoming film starring Tom Holland and Mark Wahlberg.

Even
The Last of Us
series is expanding beyond gaming, with an upcoming HBO series in the works.
Despite Sony moving forward with these well-known series’, it appears there may be even more to uncover from their previous installments.
NEWS
Former Naughty Dog Game Designer
Rodney Reece revealed
a connection between
Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune
and
The Last of Us.
The remnants for a plane seen on the “beach” map in
The Last of Us
is the same plane Sully flew in
Uncharted 1.
The full tweet can be seen below:
You know, here is an easter egg I’ve been holding onto since 2013.
In the Last of Us on the map “Beach,” there are remnants of a propeller plane. That plane is Sully’s plane from Uncharted 1.
Not saying that’s canon. But I took it from U1, broke it into pieces, & put it there. pic.twitter.com/SQjFXn68HZ

WHAT THIS MEANS
Obviously, this means Tom Holland’s Nathan Drake is going to make an appearance in the HBO
The Last of Us
show…kidding, but we live in a world where it is no longer inconceivable. In reality, this is a very fun Easter egg that Reece has revealed, especially for PlayStation gamers that spent hours on both of these
Naughty Dog
classics. While it would be exciting to dream of an expanding Naughty Dog-verse, this will probably be one of the few crossovers we will ever see.
It is important to note, however, that Reece writes
“not saying that’s canon,”
which is a politically correct answer that leaves it up for debate. The point of Easter eggs is to not be blatantly obvious and leave the gamer amused or curious about what it could mean.
The idea of the
Uncharted
universe lying within
The Last of Us
isn’t too outlandish. Will this mean that an eventual fifth installment of
Uncharted
will feature Sully and Nathan Drake killing zombies on the way for the next hidden treasure? Only one way to find out.
