[UPDATE] Collection Confirmed; Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection Accidentally Revealed Online
[UPDATE]
Sony PlayStation has went ahead and confirmed the Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection, which is due out on October 9. In addition, a new trailer was released for the set, which you can check out below.
Per Sony PlayStation, the older games in the franchise were rebuilt by Bluepoint Games with the power of the PS4 console. The collection will feature Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune, Uncharted 2: Among Thieves and Uncharted 3: Drake’s Deception. Players who purchase the collection will receive early access to the Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End multiplayer Beta when the Beta is available.
All the games will be playable at 1080p and 60fps and include improved lighting, textures, and models. New additions include Photo Mode and new trophies.
Following on the heels of the early reveal of Fallout 4, another reveal has dropped a bit sooner than the developer had hoped for. There had been rumors for awhile that the Uncharted franchise would be getting a collection with the first three games in it, most likely to get new gamers into the series before Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End. Also, it would give the crew at Naughty Dog a chance to “revamp” some of the games visually and the like to ensure it would be up to snuff on the PS4.
Again, these were just rumors until a listing showed up on the PlayStation Store this morning came up, then was subsequently taken down. You can check out an image of the premature listing below.
The title would be called, Uncharted: The Nathan Drake collection, which is a rather simple title. In addition, one that may continue the rumors that the Uncharted series will continue without Nathan after Uncharted 4 comes to an end. Ironically, the listing was soon taken down, and a tweet from Naughty Dog’s Neil Druckmann came to confirm what we saw and say that more is yet to come:
“Well… that hit a few hours too early. See you in the AM. G’night y’all.”
So The Nathan Drake Collection is real. We’ll bring you more details as they arrive.
