Sony has a number of new games to announce at Paris Games Week, with the format holder’s press conference kicking off later today at 5.00 pm GMT. One of the new games rumored to be unveiled is something called DriveClub Bikes, which was outed earlier today via PEGI.
Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End is scheduled to ship for PS4 on March 18, 2016. The game was originally due for release in late 2015, although was pushed back to afford additional development time, in part due to Naughty Dog want to ge the ending just right. Gamers looking to splash out on Drake’s next adventure may want to invest in the Special Edition or Libertalia Collector’s Edition, both of which feature additional, physical content. Uncharted 4’s multiplayer beta is due to kick off in December, with access to the teaser given away with the Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection on PS4.
Naughty Dog has made it clear that Uncharted 4 will be the final chapter in Drake’s story arc, and has admitted that continuing the series without him is difficult to imagine, though didn’t rule it out entirely. Set a few years after the events of Drake’s Deception, Uncharted 4 sees the lovable rogue and partner Victor ‘Sully’ Sullivan on the hunt for a legendary pirate treasure in Madagascar, and will be joined by Drake’s long-lost sibling, Sam. The game will feature larger environments, though still adheres firmly to the series’ established paradigm, and as such won’t incorporate a character progression system similar to The Last of Us.
