PlayStation delists major first-party titles, Uncharted included amid reboot speculation

PlayStation has delisted a number of its own first-party games in several territories, with Uncharted among the franchises affected amid speculation of its imminent comeback.

Results vary by region, but reports have surfaced claiming that Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection, God of War III: Remastered, and Knack 2 have all been removed from certain storefronts.

While all three titles remain available here in the UK, it appears that they have been delisted within the US and Mexico, as reported by Kotaku.

Sony is preparing to launch an all-digital future from January 2028 with new titles no longer offered via physical disc.

It’s a shift that raises huge concerns around preservation in gaming as digital storefronts don’t stick around forever, and digital games can be pulled without any notice.

This batch of delisting plays into those concerns but thankfully, the disappearances of Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection, God of War III: Remastered, and Knack 2 seem to be temporary.

It’s believed that the three titles have been removed over a pricing error

Kotaku’s report adds that God of War III was listed on the Mexican PlayStation Store for around $0.50 / £0.38 which seems too good of an offer.

Admittedly, you wouldn’t think that adjusting an incorrect price like that would take very long but all three affected titles have been down for quite a number of hours.

It goes without saying that if you’ve purchased any of these games previously, you’ll still be able to redownload them and won’t feel the impact of this temporary blip.

Instead, this affects potential new buyers only and Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection and God of War III: Remastered may soon find themselves in high demand.

Naughty Dog is widely believed to be working on a secret reboot of the Uncharted franchise.

It was previously reported that alongside Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet, a second game has been in development at the studio for over three years, under the leadership of Shaun Escayg who previously directed Uncharted: The Lost Legacy.

Escayg fanned the flames of speculation earlier this year when he posted very Uncharted-esque images from Trinidad and Tobago, labelling them “research” on social media.

Insiders have since reappeared doubling down on the fact that Escayg’s project is not related to The Last of Us after it was confirmed that several new projects of that series are in the works.

If anyone is interested in hopping on the Uncharted hype train before this supposed reboot surfaces, then Uncharted: The Nathan Draje Collection is the place to start.

As for God of War, well, we know that Santa Monica plans to remake the franchise’s original trilogy although details are thin on the ground on the ambitious project.

It’ll mark the return of Terrence C. Carson as Kratos, but Christopher Judge will continue to star as the character in the modern era of games, next appearing in God of War Laufey.

Plenty of gamers are likely to want to play the original before they eventually experience the reimagined take on God of War III.

Hopefully these games return sooner rather than later. If only Sony could stop giving us additional reasons to worry about this digital-only future.
