Skills & Progression | |
Uncharted 4 does not feature a traditional RPG skill tree or extensive character stat upgrades for Nathan Drake. Progression is primarily through acquiring new weapons and gear found in levels or dropped by enemies. There are no craftable upgrades for Nate's personal abilities. Gameplay mastery comes from improving player skill in combat, stealth, platforming, and puzzle-solving. Some weapon 'upgrades' are simply finding more powerful versions or attachments. The grappling hook is a key new tool that enhances traversal and combat options. |
Lincoln's skills improve through gameplay. As he takes over rackets and assigns them to his three underbosses (Vito, Cassandra, and Burke), he unlocks new perks and upgrades. These include increased health and stamina, improved weapon handling, and unique abilities like calling in enforcers, cutting phone lines to prevent police reinforcements, or having a car delivered on demand. |
public World & Exploration | |
World & Level Design | |
N/A | The open world of New Bordeaux is comprised of nine unique districts, each with its own distinct culture, population, and criminal rackets. These range from the swampy Bayou Fantom and the industrial Tickfaw Harbor to the affluent Frisco Fields and the bustling French Ward. |

extension Editions & DLC | |
Available Editions | |
Available in Standard Edition, Special Edition (SteelBook, artbook, Naughty Dog points), Libertalia Collector's Edition (12" Nathan Drake statue, SteelBook, artbook, Naughty Dog points, sticker sheet, multiplayer outfits/weapon skins). Later released as part of the 'Uncharted: Legacy of Thieves Collection' for PS5 and PC, which also includes 'Uncharted: The Lost Legacy' and features enhanced graphics and performance options. |
The Definitive Edition is the all-in-one package. It includes the full base game, all three story DLCs ('Faster, Baby!', 'Stones Unturned', and 'Sign of the Times'), and all bonus weapon and vehicle packs that were previously sold separately. |
Post-Launch Content / DLC | |
The primary post-launch content was the standalone story expansion 'Uncharted: The Lost Legacy' (starring Chloe Frazer and Nadine Ross), which was also included in the 'Legacy of Thieves Collection'. The original PS4 version of Uncharted 4 received numerous free updates for its multiplayer mode, including new maps, modes, weapons, and cosmetic items. No single-player story DLC directly for Nathan Drake's Uncharted 4 story was released. |
All post-launch content is included in the Definitive Edition. The three story expansions are: 'Faster, Baby!' (a story focused on high-speed car chases and stunts in a new rural town), 'Stones Unturned' (a global spy-thriller adventure with CIA agent John Donovan), and 'Sign of the Times' (a dark, horror-themed investigation into a violent cult). |

|
build Technical Details | |
Graphics & Visual Fidelity | |
Powered by Naughty Dog's proprietary engine, Uncharted 4 is renowned for its groundbreaking visuals, especially at the time of its PS4 release. It features incredibly detailed character models with realistic animations and facial expressions, breathtaking and diverse environments, advanced lighting and shadow effects, and spectacular cinematic set pieces. The level of environmental detail, from foliage and water effects to material textures, is exceptional. The PS5 and PC versions in the 'Legacy of Thieves Collection' offer enhanced resolutions, frame rates, and graphical settings. |
The game captures the look and feel of the 1960s American South with a distinct, often sun-drenched visual style. It features detailed environments, authentic period vehicles, and a cinematic presentation that enhances its narrative focus. |
Audio & Soundtrack | |
Original score composed by Henry Jackman, featuring sweeping orchestral themes, adventurous melodies, and emotionally resonant pieces that underscore the narrative's highs and lows. The music dynamically adapts to gameplay, building tension during combat and enhancing the sense of wonder during exploration. Sound design is top-notch, with impactful weapon sounds, detailed environmental ambiances, and stellar voice acting. |
The game is widely praised for its exceptional licensed soundtrack, featuring over 100 iconic songs from the 1960s, including tracks by Creedence Clearwater Revival, The Rolling Stones, and Johnny Cash. The music is delivered through multiple in-game radio stations. |
User Interface (UI/UX) | |
Features a minimalistic and cinematic HUD, displaying ammo count, equipped weapon, and contextual prompts for interactions, stealth, and combat. A simple objective marker guides players. No traditional mini-map during gameplay to enhance immersion; players rely on environmental cues and Nate's journal. The journal contains sketches, notes, and puzzle solutions. |
Features a standard third-person shooter UI with a mini-map, health and armor indicators, and an ammo count. The world map is used for navigation and tracking racket objectives. The story is presented through a unique documentary format, framing the gameplay as a retrospective investigation. |
Accessibility Options | |
Naughty Dog has been a leader in accessibility. Uncharted 4 (especially in the Legacy of Thieves Collection) offers a wide array of options: extensive control remapping, subtitle and caption customization (size, color, background, speaker names), options for motion blur/camera shake, aim assist lock-on, options for QTEs (hold vs. tap), high contrast modes, audio cues for collectibles and combat, navigation assistance, and more. |
