With Amy Hennig returning to direct Skydance’s Marvel projects, Uncharted is sure to have some influence on the new game.
Skydance’s new Marvel project will be Hennig’s first title she will direct after leaving Naughty Dog, which leads fans to believe her previous work like Uncharted could influence the Marvel game. This has not been named yet.
While Skydance New Media’s Marvel projects will have to bring Marvel’s superhero culture as original as possible, studio director Amy Hennig is responsible for bringing the project’s soul to the project. Her work from the Uncharted series is critically acclaimed, and many fans will wonder how this might affect the game. Hennig has had an extensive and influential career in the gaming industry since as early as 1989, she has worked on a number of familiar classics such as Jak 3 and several Legacy of Kain games. But she rose to fame directing the original Uncharted trilogy and as a commentator on the PS Vita exclusive Unharted Golden Abyss.
However, Hennig’s departure from developer Naughty Dog in the Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End sequel leaves her with the freedom to move on to other projects with other studios, such as Luminous Productions with the upcoming Forspoken , and now Skydance with its new Marvel project. The canceled Visceral Games Star Wars project aside, this will be Hennig’s first title she will direct after leaving Naughty Dog, which leads fans to believe her previous work could be influence on this still unnamed Marvel game. Given Uncharted’s relationship to historical real-world mysteries, its blend of science fiction and fantasy, and the unusual setting of the Skydance project, Hennig’s direction could turn the project upside down. project to become the most special Marvel game ever seen to date.
Combining everything that makes the difference for Uncharted
For now, the similarities between the project and Uncharted are being evident, with plenty of real-world locations, history, and great sci-fi technology present.
In the past, despite being likened to a male Lara Croft, Uncharted has clearly worked hard to make Lara and Nathan Drake able to coexist as treasure hunters with their own personalities. In the end, many striking elements have come together to make the Uncharted series so popular, whether it’s Drake’s charisma and wit that makes him such a likable character or There are various exciting action sequences filled with fascination such as Drake climbing out of a derailed train hanging from a cliff or being thrown out the door of a cargo plane mid-flight.
However, Uncharted isn’t just about spectacles, as its stories not only provide complex character development but also delve into real-world and historical mysteries. The game’s stories see Drake searching for lost treasure or mythical locations, but ultimately these discoveries have twists somewhat inspired by the supernatural. Uncharted is primarily about cursed relics and demon possession, however Drake realizes that the mystery is rather less supernatural and more scientific, where the curses are actually ancient mutant viruses or discovered that the ghost was only due to the hallucinogen in the water.
Similarly, Skydance’s project will explore a unique part of Marvel’s history, as it is set during World War 2 and will span different global settings from occupied France to the hidden Wakanda advanced technology. For now, the similarities between the project and Uncharted are being evident, with plenty of real-world locations, history, and great sci-fi technology present. This could be the first sign to players that the upcoming Marvel project will take a lot of inspiration from Uncharted.
How can Uncharted bring its features into Skydance’s Marvel project?
It’s possible Hennig will introduce bloody action sequences like the Uncharted cargo plane scene to force characters like Captain America and Black Panther to fight for their survival.
While Skydance doesn’t need to limit itself to storylines that already exist in Marvel comic books, it’s likely that the developer will at least consider taking some inspiration from them. This has led some to speculate about what kind of historical Marvel characters might appear in the project as well as how the story might develop in the game. Thanks to the game’s setting being removed from modern times, it provided Skydance with enough room to exercise some creative freedom, especially since it’s a title about a Black Panther and Black Panther collaboration Captain America.
Since Hydra is expected to be in the game since the trailer revealed both Hydra’s material and emblems, it’s likely that they will be the main villains, and this only begs the question. about what kind of threat they would pose enough to make Black Panther and Captain America join forces. One possibility is that Hydra would attempt to invade and conquer Wakanda with its technology, which would then result in Steve Rogers spontaneously siding with Wakanda to fight his enemies, but there are other approaches that Skydance and Hennig can take.
For example, it would be interesting to see Hydra experiment with Wakandan technology, using it to serve the Nazi cause. As far as Uncharted is concerned, this experiment could lead to the creation of a weapon similar to Uncharted’s relics, such as the virus from Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune that the villains intend to sell as a bioweapon. learn. Additionally, combined with advanced technology and the range of contexts that Skydance can utilize, it’s possible that Hennig could introduce action sequences like the Uncharted cargo plane scene to force the characters to come. Animals like Captain America and Black Panther fight for their survival.
