T he final chapter in
the Uncharted
series, Uncharted 4:
A Thief's End, was originally
pitched to land in late 2015
before it slipped to March and
then finally (hopefully) to
April. Naughty Dog
showcased the Uncharted 4
multiplayer in a December
beta, and it was well-
received. Multiplayer was
introduced to the series in
Uncharted 2: Among Thieves,
and recently we spoke with
Naughty Dog's community
manager, Arne Meyer,
who told us that the studio
were happy with how it's
shaping up.
"With Uncharted 4 we think
we’ve created multiplayer
game, or mode, that is pretty
unique in the space," says
Meyer. "It's so unique to have
high vertical environments
that you can traverse and
have this different viewpoint
to the pace of the Uncharted
universe that’s obviously not
a Twitch-style multiplayer
game; it's very slow and
stealthy and deliberate.
"So I think we’ve really
gone to a unique place with
it. We feel that it’s not only an
important part of the game, it
also feels very natural."
Uncharted 4: A Thief's
End, the concluding part in
the compelling Nathan Drake
series, will release on April 27.

Brian Horton, the director of Rise of the Tomb
Raider, has left Crystal Dynamics for a role at
Californian studio Infinity Ward, the progenitors
of the Call of Duty franchise.
He joins Infinity Ward as studio art director,
presumably to work on the developer's next
Call of Duty title, due this year. This will be the
first CoD game from the studio after it moved to
Activision's new three-year development cycle
for the series. Although little is known at this
stage what the game will be, Infinity Ward's last
CoD title was 2013's Call of Duty: Ghosts.
