Many PS4 gamers went wild when they heard their Uncharted adventures would continue with Chloe and Nadine in The Lost Legacy last year. The initial disappointment of the DLC not following our beloved Drake was quickly followed by excitement at a fan favorite and rather badass character making a return. At the time we didn’t know why Chloe and Nadine were chosen, but thanks to PlayStation Blog’s Sid Shuman we do now. Mr. Shuman recently sat down with a few minds over at Naughty Dog and specifically with Creative Director, Shaun Escayg.

He revealed that Chloe was revisited because the team saw her as an interesting character with a darker moral compass compared to Drake. “They’re both treasure hunters. Drake has a bit of a hero complex, but Chloe looks out for number one, first and foremost.” Nadine makes an appearance because Chloe would need someone with military expertise to attain the Tusk (the treasure currently sought after). It just so happens that Nadine fits that role in particular because of her actions in Uncharted 4. She’s in need of work and desperate.

If you haven’t played the fourth Uncharted entry, skip to the next paragraph now! Nadine was the leader of an efficient mercenary group called Shoreline. They were hired by antagonist Rafe to help him find Libertalia. Long story short, Nadine was getting fed up with the defeats she was given (although not in combat that’s for sure) and was tired of wasting resources. She was going to take Shoreline and leave, but Rafe paid her group more money then she ever could. Of course, Nadine trapped Rafe into a 1 on 1 battle with Drake when she could and left.

Escayg also explained how these two opposites would attract and benefit from one another. “They’re opposites. Chloe is spontaneous and impulsive, where Nadine is by the book, structured,” Escayg explained. “That made for a good pairing.” Plus, their roles have been swapped as Chloe is running the show and Nadine is the hired gun instead of vice-versa.

Uncharted: The Lost Legacy is expected to drop later this year, but as to when is anyone’s guess. However, we have been informed the standalone expansion will be longer than Last of Us: Left Behind and shorter than Uncharted 4. Is anyone really that surprised by the latter though? Hit us up in the comments below on your thoughts about two badass female characters teaming up. Anything you’re looking forward to specifically? Let us know!

There hasn’t been much buzz surrounding Suicide Squad since its release in February. Warner Bros. was let down by the game’s underwhelming sales, but they remained committed to turning their live service vision into a reality. An exciting new DLC update has been released, introducing The Crown Prince of Crime to the game.

As the game’s first live season begins, players will have the chance to take on Green Lantern and, in the end, unlock The Joker as a playable character. Which Joker are you referring to? This is quite intricate. Furthermore, players can look forward to the inclusion of a Battle Pass, a variety of new shop items available for purchase, exciting Incursions and Strongholds to partake in, as well as an expanded selection of Infamy Sets and Notorious Gear to amass.

While Sony may not classify Gran Turismo 7 as a live-service game, the team at Polyphony Digital certainly approaches it with a similar mindset. The game continues to impress with every new update, and although v1.44 may be smaller compared to previous versions, it still manages to enhance the already extensive content of this simulation racer.

The update, now available worldwide, introduces three new cars: the Audi R8 Coupé V10 Plus ’16, the Lamborghini Urus ’18, and the Toyota GT-One (TS020) ’99. Furthermore, it introduces three fresh events to World Circuits, an extra menu to conquer in the GT Café single-player campaign, and a collection of livery stickers inspired by the upcoming Highspeed Étoile anime, set to debut next week in Japan.

If you’re not already acquainted with Highspeed Étoile, you can watch a trailer right here. “Sony has announced that a collection of 26 stickers, consisting of 8 title logos and 18 main character stickers, will be made available for a limited time,” stated Sony on the PS Blog. In addition, Fukushima will be included as a backdrop in the title’s beloved photography mode.
