Developer of video games, Naughty Dog, announced that the Survival mode will launch next week along with a multiplayer update for its action-adventure game Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End.
The news comes from an official blog post from Naughty Dog, in which the company confirms claims that the content of the update will not only provide Survival’s solo and cooperative capabilities, but also new content for Uncharted ‘s competitive multiplayer mode. Those who are interested in checking out what the upcoming patch will bring to the game have also been invited to watch a Naughty Dog livestream on Tuesday, December 13 at 11:00 AM PT to show off more Survival content and the new multiplayer DLC.
Just like with previous outburst of add-ons for Uncharted 4, the upcoming Survival update is going to be a piece of DLC that’s totally free. Apart from the new mode and multiplayer aspects, Naughty Dog is also planning to include new maps, weapons, skins, boosters, vanity items, and even more for the characters in the game as well.
Although fans have certainly been satisfied with Naughty Dog’s decision on extending the shelf life of Uncharted 4 well beyond its launch date earlier this year, it’s a safe bet that players are still holding out for any information on the game’s single-player DLC. Up to this point, the developer hasn’t shared any details on the issue, stating that news for the solo expansion is a long way off, but that didn’t stop fans from speculating what it could contain. Interestingly enough, rumors circulating on the internet have pointed to the possibility of the story DLC starring Sam Drake, Nathan’s brother.
Naturally, there’s really no telling so far as to when Uncharted 4’s single-player expansion will make its way to market, especially when one stops to consider how many irons Naughty Dog currently has in the fire. As it happens, not only the developer used PlayStation Experience 2016 to announce a standalone adventure in the series with Uncharted: The Lost Legacy, but also – and maybe most important – the company capped the event off by confirming there will be a followup to its original post-pandemic title with The Last of Us: Part 2.
Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End is now available for PlayStation 4.
