Evan Wells, co-president of Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune developer Naughty Dog was asked about Uncharted 2 recently. His answer was favorable for the future! To quote:
“Question: Are you considering a sequel? There are more treasures to be found out there after all. Perhaps some in old Italian cities, like Venice.
Answer: We developed Uncharted as a franchise. The pulp action/adventure genre lends itself perfectly to serialization and continued episodes which is one of the reasons we were attracted to it. Right now we are brainstorming on what Naughty Dog’s next project will be, but even if we don’t do an Uncharted sequel right away, you can pretty much count on us doing one in the near future.”

Update: A PSM3 magazine October issue rumor suggests that Uncharted 2 might arrive as early as 2009.
