Uncharted 4's Multiplayer Maps Will Eventually Become Free for Everyone

Naughty Dog has a new multiplayer model for Uncharted 4, “DLC accessible to everyone”.

Plans for Uncharted 4’s multiplayer were detailed today and the biggest announcement was that all maps and modes will eventually be released for free. This still means that certain items will be locked through the in-game store.

“This means that Uncharted 4 Multiplayer community won’t be fragmented by different types of DLC” lead game designer, Robert Cogburn stated. In addition “those who are loyal in participating in the community will be reward. Our DLC release approach will represent an entirely new direction for Naughty Dog, and we are confident it will have a hugely positive impact and keep the Uncharted 4 Multiplayer community thriving.” 

“We strongly believe that players must be on an even playing field. To do this, we made Relics, a currency that can only be earned through gameplay and will be able to unlock all DLC, present and future. We will be putting future gameplay items ranging from Mysticals to Boosters into DLC Gameplay Chests. Each Chest will contain new gameplay items…Over time, Naughty Dog will release a variety of new maps, modes and gameplay items at no additional cost (including Co-op), that will introduce new rules and play styles.”

Relics can be earned by completing daily challenges and winning matches. You’ll be able to pick between a DLC Vanity Chest or a DLC Gameplay Chest. When opened you’ll earn items and neither chest will ever give you duplicates.

Support for Uncharted 4’s multiplayer is planned until 2017, with Ranked Team Deathmatch, Command, Team Deathmatch, Lunder, Warm Up Playlist, and Trials all available at lunch.

The Triple Pack, which is the season pass and comes with the Deluxe Edition, will have 2 multiplayer packs and one single-player story add-on. 

Could this mean that all future Naughty Dog titles will follow this formula? If so do you applaud Naughty Dog's new direction and why? Let us know in the comments below!

Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End launches on May 10th for PS4.
