  "account": "Uncharted star Nolan North expresses eagerness to reprise his role as Nathan Drake for Uncharted 5, despite Sony yet to officially confirm the project. Naughty Dog has reportedly been working on multiple games, including the upcoming Intergalactic: Heretic Prophet, with Uncharted: The Lost Legacy's director, Shaun Escayg, leading a team on a new entry in the franchise. North confirms his willingness to return to the role and even attempts to maintain his physical fitness in anticipation of a potential call from Sony. He believes an Uncharted 5 would be among the biggest games ever, provided Sony aims to generate profits. North also cautions against ruining the beloved series, likening Kingdom of the Crystal Skull's reception to a failure. The decade since Uncharted 4's release has left fans yearning for new adventures, possibly featuring Drake's daughter, Cassie. North emphasizes his commitment to staying in shape if given the opportunity, stating that he wouldn't decline such an endeavor after a decade of work with his \"good friends, good people, and a great developer.\"",
