We knew it was coming, but it's awesome nonetheless: Uncharted 2 will feature multiplayer.
Yes, you heard that right; the sequel to the celebrated PlayStation 3
action spectacular is venturing into the online arena. And, even
better, you'll be able to get your hands on it as early as June 3. A Kotaku
reader snapped a picture of a Best Buy pre-order box for inFamous,
which says that every retail copy of the game will include a voucher to
download the Uncharted 2: Among Theives multiplayer beta.
This is undoubtedly the mystery announcement that Sony planned to reveal on Monday.
Sony is clearly emulating Microsoft's 'Crackdown' strategy; Microsoft
included the Halo 3 beta on retail copies of Crackdown, which went on
to sell over a million units. It's funny, actually, just how similar
the two situations are. Both full games are original, open-world action
games with a focus on super powers, and both betas are for high-profile
sequels.
If we had to guess, Sony's strategy will work like a charm, just like it did for Microsoft.
