Differences from the Film[]
Nate and Chloe Unreleased Deleted Scene from CHP 18
There is a romantic scene between Nate and Chloe at the beach resort in chapter 18 of the Uncharted movie novelization. In this scene, Chloe tells Nate that she knows he's not Sully and that she's not Sully either. She flirts with him and then they kiss passionately. There's also more bonding between them in the book while at the beach resort, including implied sex.
At the conclusion of the movie novelization, instead of Chloe bitterly accepts defeat by saying "Bastards", she smiles and accepts it by uttering "Well played, Nate", while Nate looks at her from the helicopter. This was not included in the released deleted scenes
