All of the Uncharted games thus far have had a historical foundation within which Naughty Dog has inserted its fiction, and Uncharted 4: A Thief's End is no different. While a chunk of the title's backstory was pieced together back when it was first announced, the developer confirmed during a press event this week that protagonist Nate will be searching for Henry Every's haul.

The Brit is famous for rising to prominence as a pirate in the late 17th century, as he triggered the first international manhunt when he plundered the Mughal Empire's flagship vessel. However, famously, just two years after achieving fame and fortune, he disappeared, never to be seen again. Until now, of course, as Drake will be tracking the sailor – and his untold riches.
