Bisher hatte das Naughty Dog Projekt für die PS3 keinen Namen. Dies scheint sich nun allerdings geändert zu haben:
Bereits im August 2006 ließ Sony Computer Entertainment of America sich den Namen Uncharted: Drake's Fortune schützen. Forscht man mithilfe von Suchmaschinen etwas nach, so findet man diesen Titel tatsächlich im Zusammenhang mit Naughty Dog:

Der Titel des Spiels könnte auf Sir Francis Drake, einen englischen Entdecker deuten, welcher zu seinen Lebzeiten unter anderem in der Karibik unterwegs war und dort einen Schatz hinterließ. Auch der Trailer zum Spiel deutet auf einen Schauplatz in der Karibik und einen verschollenen Schatz hin.
