It's Chloe Fraser. In India. Kashmir? Maybe. I can't quite tell yet. I was hoping they would have gone to India in the mainline game...

From the critically acclaimed developer, Naughty Dog, comes the first standalone adventure in the Uncharted series. Fan-favorite character, Chloe Frazer, must enlist the aid of renowned mercenary Nadine Ross from Uncharted 4: A Thief?s End in order to recover a fabled ancient Indian artifact and keep it out of the hands of a ruthless war profiteer. Together, they?ll venture deep into the mountains of India in search of the legendary artifact. Along the way, they?ll learn to work together to unearth the mystery of the artifact, fight their way through fierce opposition, and prevent the region from falling into chaos.

Dig the detail in Chloe's
dupatta*! The fine folks at Gamersyde have
a few screens from the trailer in 4K if you're interested.
*- A dupatta is effectively the Hindu equivalent of the hijab, but is also worn as a scarf, shawl, and head covering. It can serve the same purpose though when pulled tight to cover the back of the woman's neck and all her hair.
I'm still uncertain on whether or not this is a new, fully realized game or not, but it's starting to sound that way -- it will be released digitally, on physical disc in stores, and will be a lot longer than
Left Behind, the story-DLC for
The Last of Us. I never played, but people say it was around three-hours in length. If this hits seven hours,then it's about the same length as the original
Uncharted.
There's more information over at the official
PlayStation Blog, too.

Our video shows an early section of the game where we find Chloe in a war-torn city on her way to a rooftop rendezvous with her partner, Nadine Ross. Much like Chloe, Nadine is a formidable and interesting character whose complex nature we just started exploring in her Uncharted 4 debut. She?s a skilled tactician, whose cool, calculating nature offers an important contrast to Chloe?s improvisation and wit. As they venture deep into India?s Western Ghatsmountain range, they?ll need to work together to recover the long lost Tusk of Ganesh.
The Western Ghats, a.k.a., Sahyadri Hills, are several hours of south of Bombay (Mumbai) and slightly closer to Goa. Of note: the signage appears to actually be in Tamil, but the soldiers/mercenaries/whatever aren't speaking Tamil. That sounds like Urdu to my ear, which is common in the North and the national language of Pakistan. It could be Hindi as well since they're mutually intelligible, but that's beyond my immediate knowledge.
As for the Tusk of Ganesh, I have no idea. I know how he acquired his elephant head (in short, his father chopped off his human head) and how he lost one of his tusks (broke it off so his father could use it as a pen), but I would have to do more reading to see why it would be a worthwhile endeavor. I do find it amusing that they're using Ganesh, though. In addition to being the Remover of Obstacles, he's also the Lord of Beginnings. I'll let you figure out why that's symbolic.
I'll need to watch the PSX panel to glean any further information, but that seems to be everything that's pertinent as of now.
