Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End Cutscene Reveals One of Drake’s New Rivals

UNCHARTED 4: A Thief's End - The Game Awards Trailer | PS4

Sony revealed a new character from Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End in a short cutscene shown during The Game Awards 2015 Thursday night.In the scene, Nathan Drake literally bumps into a woman named Nadine Ross, who says she’s “not in the mood for games,” as she challenges him to a fight over a crucifix they’re apparently both looking for. Though Ross’ name isn’t mentioned in the clip, developer Naughty Dog confirmed her moniker in a tweet, adding that the character is voiced by video game voice acting mainstay Laura Bailey, who you may have heard recently in Halo 5 and Tales From the Borderlands, among others.

Sony described Ross as a “decidedly less than friendly character” on the PlayStation Blog Thursday, which seems like an understatement based on the clip. However, at the risk of speculating, Sony’s vague language and the pair’s banter seems to leave the door open for Drake and Ross to become friends down the line.

In Uncharted 4, a retired (and married) Nathan Drake returns to action when his long lost brother Sam returns to ask him for help tracking down a fabled pirate treasure.

The single-player news accompanied the start of the Uncharted 4 multiplayer beta, which opened yesterday and runs through December 14. Sony packaged codes for the beta inside Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection, which compiles remastered versions of the first Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune, Uncharted 2: Among Thieves, and Uncharted 3: Drake’s Deception for the PlayStation 4. The beta allows users to play a single game type, team deathmatch, on two multiplayer levels. In the beta, players can control some of the series’ central characters, including Nathan, Elena, Sully, Sam, Katherine Marlow, and Lazarevic.

Looking forward, Naughty Dog will host a panel with the voice acting cast of Uncharted 4 about making the game at Sony’s PlayStation Experience convention in San Francisco this weekend. Fans will be able to try Uncharted 4 multiplayer offering on the PlayStation Experience show floor, as well.

Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End will be available on PlayStation 4 on March 18.

In a company interview with CEO Yves Guillemot posted on the Ubisoft website Thursday, the executive reveals that there are remakes of Assassin's Creed games in the works, although he doesn't specify which ones.

"Players can be excited about some remakes, which will allow us to revisit some of the games we've created in the past and modernize them," he says, implying that it could pertain to games made before Odyssey. "There are worlds in some of our older Assassin's Creed games that are still extremely rich."

Surfaced patent shows what an Xbox streaming console would’ve looked like

An Xbox Series X sits next to both Series S models.

There have been a few Xbox devices that have never come to fruition, one of which was Keystone, a prototype for an affordable game streaming device you could hook up to your TV or monitor. Thanks to a surfaced patent, we've gotten an even closer look at what it would've potentially looked like.

The patent, first spotted by Windows Central, gives us a more complete view of the device. We've previously seen the Keystone in the flesh. Microsoft Gaming head Phil Spencer is known for hiding teases and interesting collectibles on the shelf in his office. In a 2022 X (formerly Twitter) post congratulating Bethesda on Fallout's 25th anniversary, you can see a small white device on the top shelf that's actually a Keystone prototype. Xbox told Digital Trends that it was a version of the device made before it decided to "refocus our efforts on a new approach.”
