Oak Island
Where: Nova Scotia, Canada
Status: Rumoured
People have been digging for 200 years at ‘The Money Pit’ – an underground network of elaborate shafts and tunnels believed to hide an immense pirate fortune - after a coded plaque thought to read ‘forty feet below, two million pounds are buried’ was found there in 1804. Several high-profile digs have taken place at the Money Pit; the area is now littered with new shafts and the site has claimed the lives of six people in accidents
Could it be a game?
An ancient plaque, immense treasure, an area littered with tunnels and the decaying remains of previous explorers. The description sounds like it was lifted straight out of Drake’s “my next adventure” book.
The winding tunnels would be a perfect way to show off the dynamic lighting effects we knowthe Naughty Dog team are capable of and the surrounding area is covered in lush greenery and blue seas.
Given that we already know Uncharted’s game engine can handle this sort of setting with ease, and that Oak Island is surrounded in so much mystery, this looks to be the prefect location.
