‘Uncharted 4’ The Nathan Drake Collection Confirmed With Beta Access, Release Date; Cover Art Possibly Outed

As E3 2015 closes in, fans of the much-awaited PS4 exclusive title “Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End” will be getting one of their most wanted wishes. Developer Naughty Dog has announced a full package of the franchise via the “Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection.”

Over at the PlayStation Blog, Naughty Dog Community Strategist Arne Meyer detailed the contents of the collection, which include “Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune,” “Uncharted 2: Among Thieves” and “Uncharted 3:Drake’s Deception” to get players ramped and ready for “Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End.”

The project is a work between Naughty Dog and Bluepoint Games, with the latter being tasked for remastering the three releases. The Uncharted trilogy will be remastered to 1080p and 60fps with additional features and options. Photo Mode, the successfully and widely-received mode offered for a couple of PlayStation exclusives, will also be included for the three titles. All of the additions to the remastered versions are all based on community feedback.

“We put together the list of these improvements and additions based on countless forum posts, messages, Tweets and even through personal conversations we’ve had with a number of you over the years,” said Meyer to PlayStation Blog.

For players who are raring to try out “Uncharted 4,” the collection grants players exclusive access to the beta version of the multiplayer. Naughty Dog’s Eric Monacelli, however, also confirmed that there will be no online multiplayer in the game collection for the three games.

The “Uncharted 4: The Nathan Drake Collection” is slated for release on Oct. 9. It’s already available for preorder, and players who do so will get the additional Nathan Drake Pack. This includes skins of Drake outfits for single-player use and two additional weapons, the Golden AK-47 and Golden 92FS guns.

In addition, it appears that Amazon may have also outed the box art sample for “Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End.” IGN spotted the listing, which shows a very familiar promotional image that has been used time and again for the game’s teaser, as seen in the link above.

A lot more is expected to come at E3 2015. WCCFTech reports that Naughty Dog appears to be hinting that the event will showcase a playable multiplayer of the game. Considering the teaser on the beta version of the multiplayer, it would be great to showcase what the public should expect with the access.
