Update: We have more codes to give!

On Tuesday June 28, one of the year’s biggest title, Uncharted 3: Drake’s Deception, will begin beta testing its multiplayer. As it stands there are three ways to gain access to that beta: Buy Infamous 2 and receive the code, be a member of the PlayStation Network or receive one from a magnanimous tech website by being among the first 20 people to post below in the comments section and let us know what you would like to see in the game. Simple as that!

The multiplayer for Uncharted 3 will have several new features over Uncharted 2. To begin with, there will be a more cinematic flair to the multiplayer, in keeping with the campaign.  Certain levels will now have events that will change the way you approach each map. One example shown was “The Airstrip,” which begins on a cargo plane with trucks chasing it and players jumping back and forth. Once the plane takes off, the map switches to the runway and hangars.

Boosters have also been significantly altered. There will now be a set of paid boosters that you can drop cash on during a match to activate. You can also activate kickbacks which are awarded when you collect enough medals. Once you do, you can use them to unleash things like RPG attacks and many other perks to give you the edge.

Uncharted 3: Drake’s Deception will be one of the biggest games of the year, the Naughty Dog is making sure that the multiplayer can live up to the promise of the campaign. So what do you want to see from the multiplayer? Sound off below in the comment section, and the first twenty people to reply with what they hope to see in the multiplayer will receive a code to grant them access to the multiplayer beta that goes active on Tuesday. And go!

Ok, so the original 20 codes were claimed within minutes!  So we asked, and we were able to get our hands on 200 more.  So, if you missed out on your chance to win a beta key for the upcoming Uncharted 3 multiplayer, here’s your chance!  Simply post in the comments below, and next 200 people that chime in will receive codes!

Developer Digital Eclipse is working on a surprising project: Volgarr the Viking 2. The 2D retro sequel will launch on August 6 for PlayStation 4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, Nintendo Switch, and PC.

The news is an out of left field reveal. The first Volgarr the Viking game released in 2013 and was made as an ode to 1080s classics like Ghosts 'n Goblins. Despite being a small release, it sold over 1 million copies over the past decade. As revealed during today's Guerrilla Collective stream, the series is coming back with a new sequel by Digital Eclipse, the team behind this year's Llamasoft: The Jeff Minter Story.

3 Days of Play PS Plus games to try this weekend (June 7-9)
Key art for Streets of Rage 4.

June 2024 is shaping up to be a pretty great month for PlayStation players. Not only are we coming off an entertaining State of Play showcase, but a new Days of Play initiative surrounding all the video game showcases this month is bringing a lot of new PS Plus additions with it. Many of those games hit PS Plus this week, and three in particular stand out to us.

For owners of Sony's oft-neglected PlayStation VR2, the first game is one of its rare exclusives that take full advantage of the headset's eye-tracking by seeing how often players blink. The next is a new PS Plus Essential game that's a revival of Sega's classic beat-'em-up series for the modern gaming era. Finally, the last title is an atmospheric and eerie fishing game that should entice fans of Lovecraftian horror.

3 first-party Xbox Game Pass games to try this weekend (June 7-9)
Gears 5 Kait Hero Close Up

Microsoft will hold an Xbox Games Showcase and Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Direct. this Sunday. These shows will provide a much better idea of what to expect from Xbox over the course of the next year or two. That's really needed right now, as Microsoft has struggled to keep online discussions around Xbox positive as it went multiplatform with some games, laid off thousands of developers, and outright shut down the developers of Hi-Fi Rush and Redfall. Based on leaks and my personal expectations for the showcase, there are three games you can play on Xbox Game Pass this weekend to prepare for the event.

The first is the latest first-person shooter in a long-running series by id Software that might be getting a medieval-set spinoff. After that, we have the fifth entry in a sci-fi Xbox series that still looks fantastic on Xbox Series X/S even though it came out in 2019. Finally, you can prepare for Avowed with the latest RPG from Obsidian Entertainment, a satirical sci-fi game where player choice is critical.
