Sony today unveiled the Special Edition contents for its series-spanning PS4 compilation Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection, revealing that early buyers will receive a batch of bonus goodies wrapped in exclusive packaging.

Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection Special Edition includes a steelbook case, an exclusive slipcover, and a sheet of Uncharted-themed stickers featuring the series logo, developer Naughty Dog’s imprint, and a still image of franchise star Nathan Drake himself.

The package will also deliver a 48-page art book. Titled “The Art of The Uncharted Trilogy,” the mini-tome features “a hand-picked selection of concept art from Drake’s Fortune, Among Thieves and Drake’s Deception.”

Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection includes the single-player campaigns from 2007’s Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune, 2009’s Uncharted 2: Among Thieves, and 2011’s Uncharted 3: Drake’s Deception. All featured games are newly optimized for the PlayStation 4, running at 60 frames-per-second and maintaining a 1080p presentation throughout.

Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection also includes a digital code granting access to the upcoming Uncharted 4 multiplayer beta. Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End, due to launch for the PlayStation 4 in 2016, drags Nathan Drake out of retirement for an all-new adventure with his long-lost older brother Sam.

Sony has issued remakes of several of its most popular games over the last several years, bundling the results in compilations like The Sly Collection, Ratchet & Clank Collection, and The ICO & Shadow of the Colossus Collection. Recently, the publisher released an upgraded PlayStation 4 edition of its 2010 hack-and-slash action game God of War 3.

Another Naughty Dog-developed standout, The Last of Us, hit the PlayStation 4 for the first time last year with the launch of The Last of Us Remastered.

A special edition version of Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection has thus far only been confirmed for Europe; release plans for an equivalent special edition for North America were not announced. Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection is set to launch on October 9.

The Last of Us Part II: All workbench locations
the last of us part ii all workbench locations 2 featured

You could classify The Last of Us Part II under multiple genres, but the weapon upgrade system shows the game's survival horror roots. Like the first game, you can only upgrade your weapons by using a workbench, and there are a limited number of them scattered throughout the campaign. In this guide, we're going to show you the locations for all the workbenches in The Last of Us Part II, from Chapter 4 to Chapter 44.

It should go without saying, but let this serve as a spoiler warning. There are 25 workbenches in The Last of Us Part II, and finding all of them will earn you the silver trophy In the Field and the gold trophy Prepared for the Worst. Technically, you don't need to interact with each workbench to earn these trophies, just stand near them. The distance isn't clear, though, so it's a good idea to interact with every workbench you come across, even if you're not going to upgrade your weapons.
