The developers could pull a spin-off from the Uncharted franchise for the standalone Lost Legacy.

Josh Scherr, a writer at Naughty Dog, talked about a possible spinning off of Chloe’s story with VentureBeat (), where he said the following:

„We could [spin it off]. One fun thing about the series, and about the genre in general, is that we’re drawing from the idea of this whole world out there of rogues and thieves and treasure hunters and all these things they do with and against each other. Potentially we could spin this off. But right now we’re just focusing on getting this out the door, and then we’re focusing on Last of Us Part II. There are no plans for anything beyond this.

What’s interesting about this is, because we have these brand new characters, in a way it’s like wiping the slate clean. We’re welcoming not only people who are fans of the series, who are familiar with the characters, but also people who are new to the series. Hopefully, they’ll discover Uncharted this way as well. We’re starting from the ground floor with these two, defining who they are, learning a bit about their backgrounds and how they came to be who they are, and how their pasts have to be reconciled through the events of the story.”

Uncharted: The Lost Legacy is out on August 22/23 (NA/EU), exclusively on PlayStation 4.
