Jak & Daxter - Was The Return Of Gol & Maia Planned For 'Jak 4'? Jak 3 Hint!

According to the official guide of Jak 3, Gol & Maia were hinted at possibly returning in the future. Samos in Jak & Daxter 1 believed that the dark eco could've maybe not killed them.

Jak entered the precursor catacombs in Jak 3, and it is believed that Gol & Maia could have escaped the dark eco but are looking for a way out.

Was their return planned for Jak 4 all along?

They have bathtubs in the catacombs. But they are bathtubs filled, with dark eco.

I for some odd reason imagine Gol and Maia having fused into some sort of single insane mutant form. "Gol and Maia... are no more... There is only... GAIA!"

[sploinky]

Just imagine how badass of a boss fight this could be in Jak 4. We may never know, but there’s always hope.

[manbanasiak]

If they do comeback then they'll see jak's new upgrades.

[agentmooseman]

Imagine how surprised they'd be to see jak had only aged like 3 years when they get out LOL

Thank you for still keeping our hopes alive for Jak 4. Great content!

I always felt like Gol and Maia were never really explored in J+DTPL. It was like, they were just the bad guys and the levels were more important. "Oh they just experimented on Dark eco" is not enough lore for me. The other 4 safes obviously knew about dark eco and it's dangers and yet they just let Gol and Maia just have fun with it.
I always felt like there should have been lore books in the citadel that note what they had found on their expirments. Thoughts and diaries that showed them descend into this dark corrupt way even finding out WHY they wanted to plunge the land into darkness using the dark eco silos.

Oh Jak 4 I'm still hoping one day it will be a Jak 4.😓

Gol and maia: finally!! We get out of the catacombs after a hundred years ( enter jak and daxter)
Gol and maia:i think we stay on the catacombs:'v

The only possible way I can see if Naughty Dog or another developer are going to continue this franchise is to bring back Gol and Maya. That way they can bring back old fans from the series and also new ones. And if they do that they should really try to bring the light tone from the first game combined with the dark one from Jak 2, kinda like Jak X because the story was serious, dark and humorous when it had to be without having issues with the story having too comedy or seriousness.

Super late to the game but you imagine the reactions between jak daxter samos Gol snd mya after meeting again hundreds of years later? What a fantastic plot.

[WenderPottery]

Gol becomes the metal head leader after hundreds of years of exposure. They even fall into the dark eco in a METAL HEAD

[Theottselmaster]

Idea: Gol died in that time and drove Maia even more insane. She blames Jak for it and contacts the dark makers resulting in a full invasion.

[SuperGodzilla]

i would love to see these two make a come back, i was so hyped when i read this in the book.
fingers crossed

[JustALilBrit]

I will love them to come back. They was interesting characters. That be awesome to jak and daxter face them in jak 4.

[DomtheDevilsRival]

Them and clockwerk need to return to their respective franchises.

[VongolaXZax]

By this time, Gol and Maia probably mastered dark eco by now, if they do come back, most likely they'll prove a real challenge for Jak.

[NaterBaiterGamer]

It feels hopeless, as Jak and Daxter seem to be 6 feet under now😔😔 let’s pray for this franchise to rise up from the vault 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

[GhostFan-evdi]

speaking about the sages 2:36 ever since Jak 2 and onward the three sages(blue, red, and yellow)have never been mentioned ever again or brought up again by any of the characters, since Jak 2 I've always wondered what happened to them, we know that samos is from the future and he would have been born years after these sages, do you think they could have been killed by the metal heads?

[thefurrygamer]

Maia was always a hottie and I bet if they bring her and Gol back, she will still be as hot
