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.

Sony Shows Off Uncharted 4 Collectors Editions

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.

Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora has received an exciting update that introduces a new graphical mode, elevating the game’s visual experience. With a smooth frame rate of 40 frames per second and enhanced resolutions, players can now immerse themselves in even more stunning and detailed environments. Now downloadable on PS5 with the latest patch 3.2, this mode is compatible with 4K TVs that can handle up to 120 Hz. Before this update, Avatar PS5 only offered quality and performance modes. However, with this new option, players can now enjoy the benefits of both modes after downloading the 2.4GB update.

Throughout the PS5 era, 40fps modes have been a rarity, much to the disappointment of the hardcore community. Insomniac Games first introduced them in Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales and later added the feature to Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart. They also included it in Marvel’s Spider-Man 2. Other PS5 titles, such as Hogwarts Legacy, Lies of P, and God of War Ragnarok, also offer 40fps modes.

In addition to that, Patch 3.2 for Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora brings along the following:

Worldwide:

  • Research Station Alpha now features a convenient Fast Travel option
  • The issue of controller re-mapping and resetting on game restart has been resolved
  • Addressed multiple instances of crashes
  • I corrected a few spelling errors
  • Addressed the issue of voice lines overlapping during dialogue

Primary Objectives & Optional Objectives:

  • [Main Quest: Shadows of the Past] This main quest is an intriguing journey into the depths of history. Addressed a bug that previously hindered quest progression in co-op mode

More bug fixes have been implemented.

  • [Available on all platforms] The rescued human characters no longer return to the Resistance HQ wearing masks
  • Available on all platforms. There is a noticeable improvement in the visibility of NPCs when they are at the edge of the Player’s vision

Fear not; for those worried about potential censorship issues with the PS5-exclusive Stellar Blade, set to release on April 26th, Sony has got you covered. ShiftUp, the developer, proudly assures players that the game will maintain its uncensored content across all regions, including Japan.

We have to admit, we didn’t anticipate this as a potential issue or a potential selling point. The main character, Eve, and her revealing costumes have been heavily showcased in the game’s pre-release marketing. Nevertheless, it is pleasing to witness ShiftUp’s evident enthusiasm as their vision prepares to reach the hands of a vast number of players.

Regarding Stellar Blade, Yoko Taro believes it surpasses NieR: Automata, and we were pleased to learn that the game will be considerate of your PS5 storage capacity. The demo is now available for you to try, and it has nearly doubled the daily active users of Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth. This is quite impressive, especially considering it is the game’s first console showing.

Will you be there to experience Stellar Blade on its release day? It’s certainly a relief to witness the game remaining uncensored until the last moment. Feel free to share your thoughts in the comments section below.
