Naughty Dog Pegs Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End Multiplayer Beta For December

Eager to get an early peek at what’s in store ahead of the release of Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End in March? Naughty Dog has finally confirmed that the sequel’s multiplayer beta will go live in December, with a PlayStation Plus subscription and a copy of Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection being required to gain access to the vertical slice.

News arrives on the heels for the latter compilation, with the studio showcasing the visual and gameplay improvements that have been made to the original swashbuckling trilogy. It’s due to hit PS4 in a mere few weeks, ultimately paving the way for the release of A Thief’s End – a title many consider to be Nathan Drake’s swan song.

Per Naughty Dog:

We know you are all looking forward to hearing more about what’s new in multiplayer, what’s new with gameplay, and what new modes and maps you can expect. We’re planning a grand reveal that will answer many of your questions about Uncharted 4 multiplayer before the Beta goes live this December.

Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End will launch exclusively for PlayStation 4 on March 18, 2016. Lagging behind on Nathan Drake’s globetrotting adventure? Fear not: Naughty Dog will debut Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection on October 9 in North America, which will open up access to that aforementioned beta.
