Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End Multiplayer Clip Swings Into Action, Beta Slated For Mid-December

Arguably the crown jewel among Sony’s roster of first-party studios, Naughty Dog took to the stage at Sony’s Paris Games Week showcase earlier today to talk all things Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End.

Specifically, the developer touched based on the sequel’s much-touted multiplayer component, revealing a frenetic trailer that showcased some of the online gameplay fans can expect when the final build launches in March. From the team-based combat to the swashbuckling sense of adventure that has defined ND’s franchise, there’s plenty to get excited about in the footage above, and Uncharted 4 has fast become one of our most anticipated games of 2016.

Eager to get your hands on A Thief’s End ahead of time? Those who picked up Bluepoint Games’ PS4 compilation Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection will gain instant access to the multiplayer beta when it goes live on PlayStation 4 come December 4. It’ll run until December 13 on the console, before Naughty Dog take the beta offline to implement any feedback and gameplay tweaks in the build up to the game’s arrival a mere few months later.

Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End launches exclusively for PlayStation 4 on March 18. Meanwhile, the sequel’s online component will go live for testing between December 4-13, though you’ll need to own a copy of The Nathan Drake Collection to gain access.
