Sony's Uncharted movie, based on the popular Naughty Dog video game franchise, was recently delayed to March 2021. It was the latest in a series of delays which have marred the production over a number of years, but according to a Naughty Dog head the future may still be bright for its popular game series.

He relates that to the challenge of following up the original Uncharted, and goes on to say they have not yet worked on a follow-up to 2016's Uncharted 4: A Thief's End, but that "maybe one day we will." North, who voices the series' protagonist Nathan Drake, says "we'll talk about it" before rightfully assuming the Internet would take what they said and run with it.

The entire interview is a pretty blatant advertisement for the upcoming The Last of Us 2, which would have released last week if not for its own delay, but there is a lot of fun behind-the-scenes commentary and footage throughout the video for eager fans to latch onto. However, the briefly mentioned possibility of a new Uncharted game seems to overshadow the topic at hand.

Tom Holland, who will play a younger version of Nathan Drake in the Uncharted movie alongside Mark Wahlberg's Victor "Sully" Sullivan, has talked about how Uncharted 4 will be a major influence on the film despite it being a prequel. That leaves plenty of room for the Naughty Dog team to write another sequel to Nathan Drake's story should they desire it.

For now all the developers' attention is focused on getting The Last of Us 2 out the door, which by all accounts should be a harrowing experience given its "M" rating from the ESRB. After that, who knows what the future holds for the ever-popular treasure hunter once his movie (hopefully) makes it safely to the silver screen.

Uncharted is scheduled to release in theaters on March 5, 2021.
