Video Game developer Naughty Dog has announced Uncharted 4: Survival, a surprise new cooperative and solo mode that will be coming to PS4 next month. The co-op mode in Uncharted 4 is one of the most popular features in the game’s’ multiplayer road map announced back in May, and with gamers clamoring for new co-op features, Naughty Dog has now responded by revealing the upcoming fresh new content.
Uncharted 4: Survival is a wave-based co-op mode in which up to three players can team up to take on unique challenges and ever powerful foes. The new mode from Naughty Dog was built upon the popular Co-Op Arena mode from Uncharted 2 and 3 but given completely new objectives and more variety.
In the new mode players will take on increasing stronger enemies in their swarms, new bosses, and varying enemy types. So survival will test your skills, strategy and teamwork.
The upcoming Uncharted 4: Survival co-op mode comes with a new dedicated progression system and players will also have an expansive upgradable arsenal at their disposal.
As time passes during your navigation of 10 maps and 50 waves, your foes will become more aggressive, better equipped, and more accurate. There are all new Pirate Warlords, mercenaries, hunters, snipers and much more to face, culminating in intense boss battles every 10 waves.
In Survival, the Founders of Libertalia arrive to hunt you down, including Adam Baldridge himself as a Warlord boss. You can check out a Djinn-wielding Baldridge in the Uncharted 4: Survival co-op gameplay trailer below:
More Challenging Objectives and Greater Rewards
By progressing through the game, you earn in-game cash which you can use to build up your arsenal of weapons. The gear available includes everything from pistols and long guns to Mystical, heavy weaponry, and a whole host of other deadly tools. As complete your objectives, you’ll also earn upgrades for your weapons and gear that is exclusive to Survival.
But Survival mode is not only about decimating your enemies, players will have to also have to use their battle wits in order to survive. This is because objective modes can range from having to defend a particular area, dispatching particular enemies, or finding treasures within a set time.
Naughty Dog also says that sometimes a modifier will make it so that only pistols, headshots, or melee attacks can do damage to enemies during a particular time-period. Once you manage to complete Survival Mode, you will then be able to unlock the toughest mode of them all, one the developer has decided to call ‘Crushing Mode’
Lastly, there will also be vanity items that can only be earned through playing Uncharted 4: Survival, but at least you’ll still be able to use the gear in the Multiplayer mode as well in addition to Survival.
