Uncharted: Legacy of Thieves Collection, A Cinematic Musical Atmosphere<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Uncharted<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Composers: Greg Edmonson, Henry Jackman<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Uncharted: Legacy of Thieves<\/strong> collection including the 4th episode, A Thief’s End, as well as the stand-alone, The Lost Legacy, is available starting January 28th<\/strong>. We are therefore not facing new adventures with Nathan Drake but rather remasterings of the PS4 games<\/strong>. Naughty Dog<\/a><\/strong> is still in top form and the music hasn’t changed. Of course we find Henry Jackman<\/strong> at the soundtrack’s helm. But we’ll also take advantage of this release to discuss the music of the entire franchise, from the first 3 episodes whose soundtracks were composed by Greg Edmonson<\/strong>, to the last episodes of this collection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Uncharted<\/strong>‘s music has left its mark thanks to its main theme song, Nate’s Theme<\/em>, which we find under this name in the first 3 releases, then under the name “A Thief’s End<\/em>” with new instrumentation by Henry Jackman<\/strong>, even if the leitmotif <\/strong>is obviously always recognizable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whether it’s Greg Edmonson<\/strong>‘s compositions or those of Henry Jackman, Uncharted<\/strong> offers a completely cinematic and purely orchestral musical atmosphere<\/strong>. Where in the first episodes, brass and percussion took a prominent place<\/strong>, as in “Sir Francis Drake<\/em>” (Uncharted 1) and “Cat and Mouse<\/em>” (Uncharted 2), the last adventures put more emphasis on the strings, as in “Hidden in Plain Sight<\/em>” (Uncharted 4).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Uncharted <\/strong>immerses us in a way that is so rare, its universe is so captivating. This is definitely thanks to its production, but also because the series’ soundtrack perfectly accompanies the action as well as Nathan Drake’s emotions<\/strong>. As one of the scenes of Uncharted 4 <\/strong>reminds us after so many episodes, we have had many adventures with its heroes, but we’re still surprised by how much we appreciate its soundscapes, even today!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
