The Uncharted film adaptation lost director David O. Russell last week, something that will inevitably push back production of the movie. Luckily fans of the franchise still have Uncharted 3 to look forward to later this year as well as the multiplayer beta that kicks off in about a month.
The beta will run for more than two weeks, from June 28 until July 13, IGN reports. Players will only get access in June if they’re a PlayStation Plus subscriber or have the voucher included with specially-marked copies of Infamous 2, coming out on June 7. Those who don’t meet either of those criteria will have to wait until July 4 to get in.
Players will be able to reach level 25 and check out the new boosters, medal kickbacks, and weapon mods. There are two maps (the airfield and a French chateau) and nine multiplayer modes included, three of which are unrevealed co-op modes. The competitive multiplayer stuff sounds pretty standard-fare, like team deathmatch and capture the flag (or treasure, in Uncharted’s case). The exception is High Stakes, where players can gamble their XP and cash not entirely unlike Call of Duty: Black Ops‘ Wager Matches. None of the competitive multiplayer modes allow for more than 10 players total, and some cap out with fewer players.
