Drake's Fortune, the first game in the series, was released for PlayStation 3 in November 2007.{{cite magazine |title=Uncharted: Drake's Fortune Review |magazine=Game Informer |first=Matt |last=Helgeson |publisher=Cathy Preston |issue=176 |date=December 2007 |page=149 |url=http://www.gameinformer.com/Games/Review/200712/R07.1114.0939.00825.htm |access-date=November 24, 2008 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081121212627/http://www.gameinformer.com/Games/Review/200712/R07.1114.0939.00825.htm |archive-date=November 21, 2008}} The system carried the following two installments of the main series, after Naughty Dog agreed to exclusively release the games on Sony systems. Among Thieves was published in 2009, and the creative team were afforded a greater license to utilize a larger amount of the system's random-access memory (RAM), due to an improved proprietary engine. It subsequently introduced more locales, higher free roam and combat abilities, and a larger map. Drake's Deception, released in 2011, built upon this aspect, while it also added an improved online multiplayer mode.

The following main installment, A Thief's End, was published on PlayStation 4, and focused on realism and detail. The last in the series to feature the main protagonist, it added driving elements and improved other gameplay aspects, like stealth and role-playing, and comprehensive upgrades to multiplayer. It was released to massive financial success, breaking multiple records.{{cite web |last1=Dunning |first1=Jason |title=Nolan North: "I Would Certainly Come Back" for Uncharted 5 |url=http://www.playstationlifestyle.net/2016/05/16/nolan-north-certainly-come-back-uncharted-5/ |website=PlayStation LifeStyle |date=May 16, 2016 |publisher=Craveonline |access-date=May 22, 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160522153341/http://www.playstationlifestyle.net/2016/05/16/nolan-north-certainly-come-back-uncharted-5/|archive-date=May 22, 2016|url-status=live}} A free-to-play game for iOS and Android, Fortune Hunter, was released to tie in with A Thief's End.{{cite web |title=UNCHARTED: Fortune Hunter™ |url=https://apps.apple.com/al/app/uncharted-fortune-hunter/id1104415942 |website=Apple App Store |access-date=May 21, 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160706181534/https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/uncharted-fortune-hunter/id1104415942?mt=8&ign-mpt=uo%3D4|archive-date=July 6, 2016|url-status=live}}{{cite web |title=UNCHARTED: Fortune Hunter™ |url=https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.playstation.U4 |website=Google Play |access-date=May 7, 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160924063306/https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.playstation.U4|archive-date=September 24, 2016|url-status=dead}}

Golden Abyss was published in 2011, and is the first in the series to be released on PlayStation Vita, marking the series' first on a handheld console. It is considered a prequel to the main series, although, some developers have stated that it acts as a separate, original story.{{cite web |url=https://kotaku.com/uncharted-golden-abyss-delivers-a-home-console-experien-5805966 |title=Uncharted Golden Abyss Delivers a Home Console Experience |author=Brian Crecente |date=June 2, 2011 |work=Kotaku|access-date=May 21, 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110604145055/http://kotaku.com/5805966/playing-uncharted-golden-abyss-is-a-sublime-testament-to-the-ngp |archive-date=June 4, 2011 |url-status=live}} In 2012, a turn-based card game titled Fight for Fortune was released.

Drake's Trail is a now-defunct 2007 online game. The game was a browser-based game{{Cite web|url=https://www.pressreader.com/australia/playstation-official-magazine-uk/20160412/282724816079198|title=Uncharted: Drake's Trail|website=PressReader|access-date=April 25, 2020|archive-date=August 9, 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200809162718/https://www.pressreader.com/australia/playstation-official-magazine-uk/20160412/282724816079198|url-status=live}} with alternative reality elements. Consisting of ten chapters, the story, serving as a prequel to Drake's Fortune, recounts journalist Elena Fisher hiring a private detective to track down famous treasure hunter Nathan Drake believing he is onto something big. The game was played using a Google Maps plugin to locate game areas within the real world, in conjunction with a Flash Player to explore those fictional locations (such as Drake's apartment) for clues to the next location.

The Nathan Drake Collection is a remastered collection of the series' first three installments, and was ported to PlayStation 4 by Bluepoint Games in October 2015. It was released to compensate for the delay in production for A Thief's End, which was originally slated for release in summer 2015. The game also included a voucher for the beta for the multiplayer for A Thief's End.{{cite web |url=https://www.ign.com/articles/2015/06/04/uncharted-the-nathan-drake-collection-confirmed-with-release-date |title=Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection Confirmed With Release Date |first=Luke |last=Karmali |work=IGN |date=June 4, 2015 |access-date=May 21, 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190912070225/https://www.ign.com/articles/2015/06/04/uncharted-the-nathan-drake-collection-confirmed-with-release-date|archive-date=September 12, 2019|url-status=live}} The games feature enhancements such as new trophies, an in-game Photo Mode, and improved textures and gameplay.

The Lost Legacy was released as a standalone expansion to A Thief's End, and marks the first entry in the series not to feature Drake. It features the characters Chloe Frazer and Nadine Ross, who previously appeared in Among Thieves and Drake's Deception, and A Thief's End, respectively.{{cite web |last1=Good |first1=Owen |title=Uncharted: The Lost Legacy is coming from Naughty Dog |url=http://www.polygon.com/2016/12/3/13829028/uncharted-the-lost-legacy-sequel-playstation-naughty-dog |website=Polygon |date=December 3, 2016 |access-date=December 31, 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170321095513/http://www.polygon.com/2016/12/3/13829028/uncharted-the-lost-legacy-sequel-playstation-naughty-dog|archive-date=March 21, 2017|url-status=live}} It was released on PlayStation 4 in 2017.{{cite web |url=https://www.theverge.com/2017/4/11/15259202/uncharted-the-lost-legacy-ps4-release-date-august-22nd |title=Uncharted: The Lost Legacy is launching in August |last=Webster |first=Andrew |work=The Verge |publisher=Vox Media |date=April 11, 2017 |access-date=June 14, 2017 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170626150205/https://www.theverge.com/2017/4/11/15259202/uncharted-the-lost-legacy-ps4-release-date-august-22nd |archive-date=June 26, 2017 |url-status=live}} Uncharted: Legacy of Thieves Collection, a remastered version of A Thief's End and The Lost Legacy, was released on January 28, 2022, for PlayStation 5;{{cite web |url=https://www.videogameschronicle.com/news/uncharted-remasters-get-ps5-release-date-graphics-pricing-and-upgrade-details/ |title=Uncharted remasters get PS5 release date, graphics, pricing and upgrade details |last=Ivan |first=Tom |work=Video Games Chronicle |publisher=Gamer Network |date=December 7, 2021 |accessdate=December 8, 2021 |archive-date=December 7, 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211207234401/https://www.videogameschronicle.com/news/uncharted-remasters-get-ps5-release-date-graphics-pricing-and-upgrade-details/ |url-status=live }} a Windows version, developed in collaboration with Iron Galaxy, was released on October 19, 2022.{{cite web |url=https://www.gamespot.com/articles/uncharted-legacy-of-thieves-collection-hits-pc-october-19-system-requirements-and-features-revealed/1100-6507543/ |title=Uncharted: Legacy Of Thieves Collection Hits PC October 19, System Requirements And Featured Revealed |last=Makuch |first=Eddie |work=GameSpot |publisher=Red Ventures |date=September 15, 2022 |accessdate=September 16, 2022 |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20220915153100/https://www.gamespot.com/articles/uncharted-legacy-of-thieves-collection-hits-pc-october-19-system-requirements-and-features-revealed/1100-6507543/ |archivedate=September 15, 2022 |url-status=live }}

Gameplay in the Uncharted series is a combination of action-adventure elements and 3D platforming with a third-person perspective. The player is given various physical tasks which must be completed to progress through the storyline, such as jumping, swimming, grabbing and moving along ledges, and climbing and swinging from ropes. Other aspects, including shooting, combat, and puzzle solving, also regularly feature. In later titles, driving, boat riding, and other acrobatic actions were added or developed.

The Uncharted games grant a reasonable amount of freedom through the design of the maps. Later games contain elements of open world design, in order to encourage free-roaming to secure collectibles or stealth to avoid enemies.{{cite web |url=http://www.1up.com/reviews/uncharted |title=Uncharted: Drake's Fortune (PS3) |publisher=1UP |first=Greg |last=Ford |date=November 14, 2007 |access-date=August 3, 2008 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151004013031/http://www.1up.com/reviews/uncharted |archive-date=October 4, 2015 | url-status = live}} In A Thief's End, role-playing was expanded to include side discussions with other characters. The Uncharted series follows the structure of traditional action games, where players complete a single track series of levels with linear gameplay, and is navigated through a third-person perspective.

Shooting is central to the game's function, as players are also required to bypass a string of foes. Although a wide variety of weapons are present in the game, the player can only carry a sidearm such as pistol, a primary weapon such as a rifle or shotgun, and a handful of grenades. These weapons are obtained by picking up weapons dropped by a downed foe, or from those scattered around the various maps. If the player dies, they will respawn at a specific level checkpoint.{{cite web |url=http://ps3.gamespy.com/playstation-3/naughty-dog-ps3-project/835136p1.html |title=Uncharted: Drake's Fortune (PS3) |publisher=GameSpy |date=November 14, 2007 |access-date=May 21, 2022 |first=Sterling |last=McGarvey | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20220406062215/http://ps3.gamespy.com/playstation-3/naughty-dog-ps3-project/835136p1.html | archive-date = April 6, 2022 | url-status = live}}

In A Thief's End, the use of vehicles in an explorable environment was developed. It provides the player with freedom to take vehicles wherever they please, albeit, must be driven to a certain location to progress the story.{{cite web |last=Monacelli |first=Eric |title=E3 2015: Uncharted 4 Vehicle Chase Gameplay |url=https://blog.playstation.com/2015/06/15/e3-2015-uncharted-4-vehicle-chase-gameplay/ |date=June 15, 2015 |access-date=May 21, 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160420102157/http://blog.us.playstation.com/2015/06/15/e3-2015-uncharted-4-vehicle-chase-gameplay/|archive-date=April 20, 2016|url-status=live}}

In Among Thieves, multiplayer was introduced. It features both competitive and co-operative gameplay. The co-op multiplayer mode allows up to three players to take the roles of Drake and two other "hero" companions and features missions involving gunfights, platforming, and teamwork-based objectives.{{cite web |url=https://www.engadget.com/2009-04-27-joystiq-hands-on-uncharted-2-co-op-multiplayer.html |title=Joystiq hands-on: Uncharted 2 co-op multiplayer |date=April 27, 2009 |access-date=May 21, 2022 |first=Randy |last=Nelson |publisher=Joystiq | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20100306032251/http://www.joystiq.com/2009/04/27/joystiq-hands-on-uncharted-2-co-op-multiplayer | archive-date = March 6, 2010 | url-status = dead}} Players can also assist their comrades if they become critically injured or if they are grabbed by an enemy. The competitive multiplayer allows a maximum of ten players to play against each other in two teams of five. Six competitive modes are featured, including single or team-based deathmatches, and team-based objectives.{{cite web |url=https://www.engadget.com/2009-04-27-joystiq-hands-on-uncharted-2s-deathmatch-and-plunder-multiplay.html |title=Joystiq hands-on: Uncharted 2's Deathmatch and Plunder multiplayer |access-date=May 21, 2022 |date=April 27, 2009 |first=Kevin |last=Kelly |publisher=Engadget | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20100114020223/http://www.joystiq.com/2009/04/27/joystiq-hands-on-uncharted-2s-deathmatch-and-plunder-multiplay/ | archive-date = January 14, 2010}} In A Thief's End, survival mode was introduced, which features wave-based progression on swarms of increasingly powerful enemies, as well as completing other objectives. Furthermore, multiplayer allows players to accrue points and rank up, which can be used to purchase more skins for both heroes and villains.

The first game, Drake's Fortune, is set off the coast of Panama, in the Amazon rainforest, and an uncharted island off the coast of South America. The second game, Among Thieves, was the first in the series to experiment with several locales. The game is set in the snow-capped mountain landscapes of the Tibetan Plateau in southernmost China, a museum in Istanbul, the jungles of Borneo, and the urban landscapes of Nepal. Subsequent games followed this concept, with Drake's Deception featuring the streets of London and Bogotá, as well as a château in France, a castle in Syria, a city in Yemen, and the sprawling deserts of the Rub' al Khali. A Thief's End features a Panamanian jail, an estate in Italy, a cathedral in Scotland, several locations in Madagascar, and uncharted islands in the Indian Ocean near Africa to reflect Libertalia. Boston and New Orleans are also included, in both the past and present respectively, where the main character resides.

The prequel game Golden Abyss features a dig site and several other locales set in the forests of Panama, while the standalone expansion The Lost Legacy features locales set in and around the mountain ranges of Western Ghats in India, as well as a small bazaar and a city in Tamil Nadu.

Many of the featured locations were extensively researched for the series. The development team organized field research trips with tour guides and architectural historians, and captured photos and hours of video footage to properly reflect the settings.

{{main|Characters of the Uncharted series}}

The series has included a wide variety of voice actors, with the development team settling on the decision that prominent characters would be voiced by lower profile actors. Only three characters have featured in every main installment, while Chloe is the only other single-player playable character:

• Nolan North as Nathan Drake

: Nathan is portrayed as a professional treasure hunter with a shady background. He is physically fit, highly intelligent, self-educated in history and various languages, and a supposed descendant of Sir Francis Drake. Naughty Dog gave Drake a very strong personality, as they did not want him to act blandly, thus he often thinks out loud and comments on and complains about the absurdity of his situations.{{cite web |url=http://www.gamedaily.com/articles/news/interview-amy-hennig-on-making-uncharted-2-maximizing-ps3-and-more/ |title=Interview: Amy Hennig on Making Uncharted 2, Maximizing PS3, and More |last=IndustryGamers |date=November 2, 2009 |website=GameDaily|access-date=December 8, 2009|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100406021451/http://www.gamedaily.com/articles/news/interview-amy-hennig-on-making-uncharted-2-maximizing-ps3-and-more|archive-date=April 6, 2010|url-status=dead}} Although naturally handsome, Drake's appearance is generic and not excessively muscular, usually appearing in a plain shirt and jeans to portray the everyman persona. North also strongly mixed in his own personality with Drake's, ad-libbing portions of the character's dialogue and improvising numerous scenes.{{cite web |url=http://www.bitmob.com/articles/uncharted-2-deconstructing-nathan-drake |title=Uncharted 2: Deconstructing Nathan Drake |last=Hsu |first=Dan |author-link=Dan Hsu |date=October 22, 2009 |website=Bitmob|access-date=February 26, 2011 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110116110826/http://bitmob.com/articles/uncharted-2-deconstructing-nathan-drake |archive-date=January 16, 2011}}

• Emily Rose as Elena Fisher

: Elena is an investigative journalist, who often finds herself on the same excursions as Drake. They begin a relationship, and eventually marry and have a child. Naughty Dog initially designed Elena solely as a sidekick and a romantic interest to Drake, and her personality to complement his. However, she grows to be as capable as Drake at gun battles and resourcefulness.{{cite web |url=https://www.gamesradar.com/uncharted-exclusive-interview/ |title=Uncharted - exclusive interview |date=May 18, 2007|work=GamesRadar |access-date=May 21, 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220122110824/https://www.gamesradar.com/uncharted-exclusive-interview/|archive-date=January 22, 2022|url-status=live}} Rose commented that "in the first game, she's a lot younger, she's a lot more naive, and she looks at things as being very possible, and in the second [game], has seen murders and adventure... the way that any person grows, you see that in her. She's a little bit more hesitant, a little more cynical".{{cite web |url=http://g4tv.com/thefeed/blog/post/696538/uncharted-2-among-thieves-supporting-cast-e3-2009-interview.html |title=Uncharted 2: Among Thieves Supporting Cast E3 2009 Interview |last=D'Alonzo |first=Mike |date=June 12, 2009 |access-date=January 14, 2010 |archive-date=October 7, 2009 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20091007160620/http://g4tv.com/thefeed/blog/post/696538/uncharted-2-among-thieves-supporting-cast-e3-2009-interview.html |url-status=dead }} The games tell the story of her romantic relationship with Drake.{{cite news |last1=Freeman |first1=Will |title=Six of the best game romances |url=https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2013/sep/15/top-games-romances |work=The Guardian |date=15 September 2013 |language=en |access-date=July 2, 2022 |archive-date=September 29, 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220929095251/https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2013/sep/15/top-games-romances |url-status=live }}{{cite journal |title=Video games' greatest love stories for Valentine's Day |journal=The Telegraph |date=14 February 2019 |url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/gaming/what-to-play/video-games-greatest-love-stories-valentines-day |access-date=July 2, 2022 |archive-date=June 28, 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220628151954/https://www.telegraph.co.uk/gaming/what-to-play/video-games-greatest-love-stories-valentines-day/ |url-status=live }}{{cite journal |last1=MacDonald |first1=Keza |title=True romance: film, music and art to fall in love with on Valentine's Day |journal=The Guardian |date=14 February 2022 |url=https://www.theguardian.com/culture/2022/feb/14/true-romance-film-music-and-art-to-fall-in-love-with-on-valentines-day |language=en |access-date=July 2, 2022 |archive-date=July 2, 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220702171722/https://www.theguardian.com/culture/2022/feb/14/true-romance-film-music-and-art-to-fall-in-love-with-on-valentines-day |url-status=live }}

• Richard McGonagle as Victor Sullivan

: A former U.S. Navy officer, Sullivan is a skilled traveler, able to navigate planes and submarines. He is also able to engage in similar gun battles as Drake, and is adept at star-based navigation. Sullivan is Drake's mentor and father figure, having picked him up as a wandering orphan in Colombia. Naughty Dog also designed him to fit the everyman persona, as he clads himself in odd guayabera-style shirts, khaki pants, and smokes cigars. He is also constantly in debt, and often relies on other people to fund the pair's adventures.{{cite web |url=http://www.joystiq.com/screenshots/uncharted-2-characters#2335123#2335377 |title=Victor Sullivan|date=March 10, 2009 |website=Joystiq|access-date=April 5, 2010|url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100710003556/http://www.joystiq.com/screenshots/uncharted-2-characters#2335123 |archive-date=July 10, 2010}}

• Claudia Black as Chloe Frazer

: The only other single-player playable character, Chloe was designed to be a darker version of the main character, and a stark contrast to Elena. She is an impulsive and reckless adventurer, and is witty, devious, and fun-seeking.{{cite web |url=http://www.gamasutra.com/view/news/26661/Analysis_The_Sexual_Politics_Of_Uncharted_2.php |title=Analysis: The Sexual Politics Of Uncharted 2 |last=Cross |first=Tom |date=January 4, 2010 |work=Game Developer |access-date=May 21, 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100108033606/http://www.gamasutra.com/view/news/26661/Analysis_The_Sexual_Politics_Of_Uncharted_2.php|archive-date=January 8, 2010|url-status=dead}} Chloe is also a very sexually forward character, using it to help further her interests. At first, she appears selfish, caring little for anything but her goal, but is later seen as a very loyal and determined character. She is as skilled as Drake and Sullivan in gun battles and fights, while Black also ad-libbed segments of dialog to influence Chloe's personality.{{cite web |url=http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/uncharted-2-among-thieves-launch-interview |title=Uncharted 2: Among Thieves Interview |last=Purchese |first=Robert |date=October 16, 2009 |work=Eurogamer |publisher=Eurogamer Network |pages=1–3 |access-date=January 21, 2010|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100123024840/http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/uncharted-2-among-thieves-launch-interview|archive-date=January 23, 2010|url-status=live}}{{cite web |url=http://www.g4tv.com/thefeed/blog/post/692965/first-look-uncharted-2-among-thieves/ |title=First Look: 'Uncharted 2: Among Thieves' |date=February 3, 2009 |work=G4 |publisher=G4 Media |access-date=January 21, 2010|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121017205900/http://www.g4tv.com/thefeed/blog/post/692965/first-look-uncharted-2-among-thieves/|archive-date=October 17, 2012|url-status=dead}}

{{main|Uncharted Live Action Fan Film}}

In July 2018, director Allan Ungar posted a fan-made 15-minute short film, starring Nathan Fillion as Nathan Drake, who for years had been campaigning for the role. It was very well received, with particular praise given to Fillion's performance as Drake, and to an action sequence shot from an over-the-shoulder angle, similar to the shooting sequences in the video games. The short also features Stephen Lang as Victor Sullivan and Mircea Monroe as Elena Fisher, with appearances from Ernie Reyes Jr. and Geno Segers.{{cite web |url=https://www.inverse.com/article/47068-nathan-fillion-stars-in-uncharted-fan-film |title=Nathan Fillion Isn't Even the Best Thing About This 'Uncharted' Fan Film |website=Inverse |last=Francisco |first=Eric |date=July 16, 2018 |access-date=July 16, 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180716224218/https://www.inverse.com/article/47068-nathan-fillion-stars-in-uncharted-fan-film |archive-date=July 16, 2018 |url-status=live}}{{cite web |url=https://www.theverge.com/2018/7/16/17576712/nathan-fillion-uncharted-nathan-drake-fan-film |title=Nathan Fillion stars as Nathan Drake in what might be film's only good video game adaptation |website=The Verge |last=Stephen |first=Bijan |date=July 16, 2018 |access-date=July 16, 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180716185350/https://www.theverge.com/2018/7/16/17576712/nathan-fillion-uncharted-nathan-drake-fan-film |archive-date=July 16, 2018 |url-status=live}} The reception towards the fan film resulted in some speculation as to whether it would influence and alter the plans of the official film.
