Uncharted 4 Release Date, Collectors Editions Revealed
Sony Announces Uncharted 4 will be dropping Spring next year along with a host of preorder goodies to draw gamers in
Since Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End was first announced by former Crash Bandicoot developer, Naughty Dog, they have been teasing this will be the last we’ll see of protagonist Nathan Drake. After three games of running, gunning, and jumping from insane heights Drake’s days of adventuring appear to be over.
Naughty Dog has been refusing to confirm whether the rumors that this is Nathan Drake’s last appearance are true or not. Despite all the hints that fans have found in the trailers, pointing towards the older and more haggard Drake that we’ve been seeing. What they were willing to confirm this week is that Uncharted 4 will be coming out on March 18th, 2016.
In the past few months Sony had been promising fans that Uncharted 4 would be coming out in early 2016. The March release date shows the games development is right on track which should come as no surprise to fans. The Uncharted series is Sony’s biggest exclusive and they are doing all they can to make Uncharted 4‘s release a big one with multiple collectors editions.
On the Playstation Blog, Sony announced Uncharted 4 will be receiving digital and physical collectors editions. The physical edition, for gamers who love the feel of a game box in their hands, will have two collectors editions to choose from: the Special and Libertalia Collector’s Editions.
Inside the Special Edition will be a steelbook case designed by Alexander Laccarino, exclusive 48 page hardcover art book, Uncharted 4 sticker sheet, plus Naughty Dog points to unlock in-game content.
The Libertalia Edition is the end all be all of Naughty Dog goodness packing everything that comes with the Special Edition as well as: a 12 inch Nathan Drake statue, three exclusive multiplayer outfits (one based on Nathan’s outfit from Drake’s Fortune, one based on the heist scene from Among Thieves, and another inspired by Nathan’s desert outfit from Drake’s Deception), three exclusive weapon skins, three in-game hats based on real life fortune hunters, special sidekick outfits, a Phurba Dagger taunt, and an exclusive Uncharted 4 theme for the PS4.
Fans who prefer to pick up digital copies of their games won’t be left out of the fun. Gamers who preorder the digital standard edition of the game through PSN will land: two multiplayer outfits (the Drake’s Fortune and Among Thieves heist scene), two weapon skins, Phurba Dagger taunt, and a few Naughty Dog points.
Fans willing to drop the money for the Digital Deluxe Edition will gain the desert Drake multiplayer outfit, desert weapon skin, two multiplayer hats, extra multiplayer customization items, as well as the “Uncharted 4 Triple Pack” that gives owners instant access to future story and mutliplayer DLC.
All of these different editions make it clear that Sony is pulling out all of the stops to make this biggest Uncharted release yet. Whether gamers choose to take advantage of all these preorder offers or not it, one thing is for sure, Nathan Drake’s latest adventure will be one of his best.

Helldivers 2 has quickly become one of Sony’s top-selling games in the US
Helldivers 2 proved to be a surprising success, highlighting the unpredictable nature of the gaming industry. As per Circana analyst Mat Piscatella, it currently ranks as Sony’s seventh highest grossing game in the United States to date, trailing behind a trio of Spider-Man titles, a couple of God of War games, and Ghost of Tsushima. It’s only been on the market for less than three months and is not even being sold at full price.
According to Piscatella, a significant factor contributing to the game’s success is its release on PC. He mentioned that, based on Circana’s Player Engagement Tracker, the game has consistently ranked first in terms of active users on Steam in the US since its launch, including April. The release of Helldivers 2 on both PlayStation and PC has been an extraordinary triumph.
He stated that Helldivers 2 has already become the seventh highest-grossing Sony-published game in history. Without a PC, it would not currently be considered one of the top 20 games. While I’m emphasizing the success of the PC SKU, it’s important to note that I’m not disregarding the success of the PlayStation SKU. I just wanted to clarify that. This launch has proven to be incredibly successful.
Prior to the release of Helldivers 2, Sony made it clear that they would be launching their live service-style titles simultaneously on both the PS5 and PC. The success of this approach will undoubtedly strengthen their strategic vision. It will be intriguing to witness if the company reveals official sales figures in the near future, as the title appears to be one of the platform holder’s most successful sellers to date.

The developer of Stellar Blade for the PS5 Expressing gratitude to the fans for their unwavering support amidst a recent controversy surrounding censorship
Shift Up, the Korean developer, seems to be reconsidering its contentious alterations to the Stellar Blade outfit. In a message to fans, they have urged everyone to stay tuned for updates and expressed gratitude for the passionate feedback from players. For those who may not be aware, a petition gained significant attention over the weekend when gamers discovered changes made to a few of the game’s costumes through a day-one patch.
The launch day update includes a fantastic New Game + mode, but some players were disappointed by the changes made to protagonist Eve’s outfit. These alterations sparked debates about censorship. Director Hyung-Tae Kim later clarified that this was the studio’s original vision, but he acknowledged that it may require further persuasion to win over users. Internal discussions were also underway to address any concerns.
Thanks to all our Stellar Blade fans for your passion & feedback. Stay tuned for updates🤍 pic.twitter.com/jCRzM4OQBS

There is no definitive confirmation regarding the reversal of the outfits, but considering the language used in the statement and the widespread controversy surrounding the alterations, it is highly likely that a future patch will restore the original costumes.

Will Stellar Blade be available for PC?
It’s quite possible. Fans all over the world are interested in Shift Up’s highly anticipated action-adventure game, Stellar Blade. With its captivating post-apocalyptic setting reminiscent of Nier and a compelling protagonist named Eve, it’s no wonder the game has generated such widespread attention.
The game consistently impresses with its stunning visuals and high-octane action, leaving players in awe with each new trailer.
Yet, just like other noteworthy second-party and third-party game releases, fans are pondering: Will Stellar Blade be available on PC?
In this article, we delve into the details to determine the platform availability of the highly anticipated title.
Will Stellar Blade be available on PC? Allow me to provide you with the answer.
Unfortunately, Stellar Blade will not be available on PC, at least not initially. Currently, the game is only available on PlayStation 5 starting on April 26, 2024.
Regrettably, it appears that there is no indication of a potential PC release for Stellar Blade in the future. In most cases, trailers for PlayStation timed-exclusive titles conclude with a disclaimer that specifies the duration of their exclusivity.
In the Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth launch trailer, it is explicitly stated that the game will only be accessible on other platforms starting on May 29, 2024.
Regrettably, when it comes to the stellar blade, there is no indication of such.
It’s important to note that Sony Entertainment Interactive published Stellar Blade, unlike Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth. This means that the chances of it being released on PC or other platforms in the near future are even slimmer.
However, it is worth noting that there is a chance the game might be released on PC in the future, given PlayStation’s track record of bringing their exclusive titles to the platform. However, it could be a while before this comes to fruition.
