The story is set sometime before Uncharted: Drake's Fortune. Nathan Drake is younger and slightly less cynical than his older counterpart, though still a capable treasure hunter. He is currently tracking the trail of his old friend and mentor, Victor "Sully" Sullivan, whom he hasn't seen in some time. Uncharted - Golden Abyss -Asia- -EnZh-
Drake tracks Sully to a seedy bar in Panama, where he finds him in the middle of a high-stakes poker game. Sully owes money to some dangerous locals, but he is also involved in a new scheme involving a "deadly" Spanish sect known as the Sete Cidades (Seven Cities). Sully introduces Drake to his current partners: Jason Dante, a shady rival treasure hunter, and Marisa Chase, the granddaughter of a renowned archaeologist who has gone missing.
