We also feel that a unified community happens through engagement. This will ensure that all players are kept together and experience new content at the same time. Maps and modes will be available to everyone on the same day. Unified Community: The idea of delivering our DLC this way was greatly influenced by the goal of having a unified community. No DLC item is available exclusively using Uncharted Points. Over time, Naughty Dog will release a variety of new maps, modes and gameplay items at no additional cost (including Co-op), that will introduce new rules and play styles.ĭLC Accessible to Everyone: It was our goal from the start to give players the ability to earn DLC items through gameplay. Each Chest will contain new gameplay items.Īn Evolving Experience: We intend to keep the Uncharted 4 Multiplayer experience as fresh as possible for as long as possible. We will be putting future gameplay items ranging from Mysticals to Boosters into DLC Gameplay Chests. To do this, we made Relics, a currency that can only be earned through gameplay and will be able to unlock all DLC, present and future. We went back and forth with how we wanted players to experience this, and we created a few core philosophies.įairness First: We strongly believe that players must be on an even playing field. It was a long process to determine how all this should work. Our DLC release approach will represent an entirely new direction for Naughty Dog, and we are confident it will have a hugely positive impact and keep the Uncharted 4 Multiplayer community thriving. This means that the Uncharted 4 Multiplayer community won’t be fragmented by different types of DLC, and that those who are loyal in participating in the community will be rewarded. Right off the bat, we want to highlight that all future maps and modes will be included with Uncharted 4 at no additional cost, and all vanity and gameplay in-game store items will be unlockable through gameplay! That ends today, as we fill you in on what to expect as well as the philosophy behind some of the new directions we took with multiplayer. And while we’ve talked a lot about the single-player campaign, many multiplayer details have remained under wraps. Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End will hit store shelves on May 10.
