On Gameplay:Speaking to the Official PlayStation Magazine UK, creative director Shaun Escayg stated: “It [will] be tonally different, but in the same context of the Uncharted world.
“India’s got really nice iconography: hidden temples and weird deities we can play off of, so it’s a perfect setting for Uncharted: The Lost Legacy.”
On Relationship and Animation:Game director Kurt Margenau added that the core gameplay will also be a bit of a departure from Uncharted 4, stating: “I would say we’re going a little more wide this time. I don’t want to give too much away, but it’s something we’re excited about on the gameplay side, this kind of contrast of an urban setting and a rural setting; a tighter experience and more open experience."
Escayg also explained why the title is being released as a standalone story expansion rather than simply a piece of downloadable content for Uncharted 4: “It started as DLC, but we couldn’t find… well, we needed a longer time for the story to develop, and now I would say it’s a story expansion. That’s how we’re terming it.”
Naughty Dog has commented on the relationship between the protagonists in the upcoming Uncharted 4 story expansion, The Lost Legacy, while confirming that it has recaptured “a lot” of animations for the title.
Speaking to the Official PlayStation Magazine UK, game director Kurt Margenau said: “The idea of the chemistry of Nadine and Chloe together, it gets the gears turning and it’s exciting to think about the prospects of where that relationship could go.”
The developer added that it wanted Lost Legacy heroine Chloe to have her “own personality”, distinct from series protagonist Nathan Drake, and that it had rethought and “recaptured” a lot of animations as well as her fighting style, which includes all-different melee moves.
