20 Things You Didn't Know About Uncharted

15. Elena's Hair Was Originally Brown

Just like movies, TV shows, comic books, or any other art form you care to name, video games go through a ton of different revisions on their way to completion.

Sometimes, massive changes to the core gameplay loop are applied, but other times, it's the small details that are given a quick paint job. And in the case of Drake's Fortune's Elena model, we use the term "paint job" quite literally.

Throughout a good chunk of development, the character's hair was brown in colour - see the image above - but for the final build, it was changed to blonde.

Why? Apparently, Naughty Dog "just preferred her blonde". Fair enough.

He has been writing and video editing for 10+ years, and first got a taste for content creation after making his own Doctor Who trailers and uploading them to YouTube (they're admittedly a bit rusty by today's standards). If you need someone to recite every Doctor Who episode in order or to tell you about the making of 1988's Remembrance of the Daleks, Danny is the person to ask.
