[[WMG: Elena has extra incentive to feel concerned over Nate getting back into treasure hunting in Uncharted 4...]]
* In the behind-closed-doors demo of Uncharted 4, after an action scene, Nate, Sam, and Sully are discussing their treasure hunting plans at a hotel. Nate is [[http://goo.gl/yY6l1R surprised]] to find Elena at the hotel, [[http://goo.gl/YL2W4W looking angry]] and [[AngerBornOfWorry worried]]. Elena could be extra worried that Nate is risking his life again, because she wants him back home...because she is expecting.

[[WMG: Tomb Raider(2013) and Uncharted are set in the same universe.]]
Think about it. Both have localized paranormal events that don't seem to leave their specific area. They both have badass archeologists. And last, but not least, both games have a similar way of telling the story, such as having regular people attacking the protagonist first and slowly adding in paranormal elements.

[[WMG: Nathan Drake is a descendant of [[AssassinsCreed Altaïr]], and is secretly an Assassin.]]
* Think about it, both Altaïr and Ezio were proficient at parkour and navigating complex obstacles, like Drake. They also had a penchant for getting involved with items with supernatural powers. Plus, Nate and Desmond both share the same voice actor. Nate, in reality, is not a treasure hunter. That's merely a cover so that he can intercept dangerous, supernatural objects before the Templars could get them. El Dorado and the Tree of Life were merely one of the many Pieces of Eden the Templars were looking for. It's even possible that Nate and Desmond are relatives!

** Pieces of Eden are high technology left from Those Who Came Before after their civilization was wiped out, and [[AssassinsCreed Assassin's Creed 2]] establishes that they come in practical forms like staves and swords in addition to the "apples." El Dorado and the Tree of Life don't fit this pattern. Alternatively, El Dorado (or rather, the plague it contains) and the Tree of Life are simply ''natural'' holdovers from the way the world was before the solar flare that wiped out Those Who Came Before and nearly wiped out the first of humanity. The Tree of Life could've been what allowed humanity to rise up against their masters in the first place, and some of them couldn't help but overdose on it, becoming the Guardians.

*** That's actually pretty plausible, if you tweak some fine details... Nate was just a somewhat small-time treasure hunter until Abstergo contacted him to help them find Pieces of Eden. Nate went entirely voluntarily, unaware of their cover for the Templars. Because he went of his own free will, they only contacted him every once in a while. After a few sessions in the Animus, they temporarily let him go, and due to the bleeding effect, he became proficient in firearms and parkour. ''Drake's Fortune'' happens. Abstergo contacts him again, more sessions in the Animus. This time though, Nate learns a bit of their background, and secretly decides to oppose them, becoming an Assassin. More bleeding effects; this time Nate learns to be stealthy, as well as more climbing. Abstergo, unaware of his opposition, lets him go. ''Among Thieves'' happens; Nate opposes Lazarevic because fighting Abstergo taught him about what happens to power in the wrong hands (plus, y'know, for the money). Other stuff happens. Eventually, Abstergo re-captures him and holds him against his will; the bleeding effect comes into full force, and he goes insane. ''AssassinsCreed'' happens.

16th century English playwright ChristopherMarlowe's mother was named Catherine, with some sources [[SpellMyNameWithAnS spelling it as "Katherine"]]. He was also rumored to be a spy for Queen Elizabeth I, who had, among others, Sir Francis Drake as a part of her entourage. During his journeys, Drake, along with Marlowe, discovered the Atlantis of the Sands, the lost city in the Arabian desert, and found within it the Fountain of Youth. Katherine acquired the waters of the Fountain and used them to prolong her life indefinitely. The city was lost when Drake died, and now Katherine is trying to find it again, possibly to get more water (the effects of the Fountain may be finite) or to find her son Christopher (who may still be in the Atlantis of the Sands).

* C'mon! Who would pass up for adventures as Nathan Drake when he was a kid? It'd be like the TV show featuring young Indiana Jones! Or that movie featuring young Sherlock Holmes. The series is just screaming for it, and, from what we see of Kid Drake, he's got the skills. It could be set a few months after he first met Sully in the flashback we see in Uncharted III.

The protagonist will be the protege of an older Drake, who will have taken over Sully's role. The story will follow exactly the same formula as the first three games, only this time the heroes are looking for a ruined ''alien'' city.
