Uncharted 2: Among Thieves trending on Twitter, more than a decade since release

By

Uncharted 2: Among Thieves, originally released in October 2009 for the PlayStation 3, is trending in Twitter over a decade later.

With about 3,500 tweets at the time of writing, Uncharted 2 has resurfaced due to a question by the official PlayStation account on Twitter.

What's the most impressive video game sequel?

— PlayStation (@PlayStation) May 24, 2020

There has been a variety of answers, including God of War 2, released for the PlayStation 2 in 2007, and Batman: Arkham City, released for the PlayStation 3 and other platforms in 2011. Red Dead Redemption 2, launched in 2018, has also been mentioned, though it is a prequel to its predecessor instead of a sequel.

The dominant answer from players, however, appears to be Uncharted 2, Naughty Dog’s sequel to 2007’s Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune.

Uncharted 2, the second adventure of Nathan Drake, follows the explorer as he searches for the treasure known as the Cintamani Stone from the fabled city of Shambhala. The sequel brings back journalist Elena Fisher and introduces fellow treasure hunter Chloe Frazer, who becomes the protagonist of 2017’s Uncharted: The Lost Legacy.

The series is fresh on the minds of PlayStation fans as Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection, a remastered collection of the first three Uncharted games that was released for the PlayStation 4 in 2015, was given away for free as part of Sony’s Play at Home Initiative. The free download is no longer available, but it allowed PlayStation owners to wear Nathan Drake’s shoes again, or for the first time.

A film adaptation of Uncharted is also currently in the works, with Tom Holland as Nathan Drake and Mark Wahlberg as Drake’s mentor Victor Sullivan. Also in the cast are Antonio Banderas, Sophia Ali, and Tati Gabrielle.

Will The Last of Us 2 succeed like Uncharted 2?

Also a popular answer to the PlayStation account’s question on Twitter is the unreleased The Last of Us 2, another sequel from Naughty Dog that will launch on June 19. Unfortunately, massive spoilers have been leaked for the highly anticipated game.

Like Uncharted, a screen adaptation for The Last of Us is in the works, though not as a movie but rather an HBO series. The show will cover the events of 2013’s The Last of Us, but may also include events from the upcoming sequel.

How to revive dead companions in Baldur’s Gate 3
Withers offering services to the player in Baldur's Gate 3.

You're given a good bit of leeway during battles in Baldur's Gate 3 before you or a companion actually bites the dust for good. While in battle, if a teammate does take enough damage to drop, they aren't dead then and there. Instead, they will be downed with a chance to roll every turn to get back up. If they roll successfully three times, the battle ends, or you use another character to pick them up, they're good. If they fail that roll three times, however, they will be completely dead. That can be harsh when you've become attached to certain characters and want to further their stories, so you'll be looking for any way you can to bring them back. Thankfully you do have a few options for reviving companions in Baldur's Gate 3, but just like respeccing, they aren't so obvious.
Pay Withers to bring them back

Withers is a friendly undead you can find in a secret room in the Dank Crypt found inside the Overgrown Ruins. After finding and speaking to him in his sarcophagus, he will offer you various services, one of which is bringing back any dead companions. He won't do this out of the kindness of his heart (probably because it isn't beating) and will charge you a heavy fine of 200 gold to do so. Still, that's a small price to pay to bring back a beloved character. Once paid, that character will appear in your camp where they would normally be, so there's no need to go back to their corpse and find them.

Every video game delay that has happened in 2023 so far
The player skates toward the moon in Skate Story.

Few things feel as inevitable in the video game industry as delays. Ever since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, game delays have only become more and more common as developers find previously set timelines unrealistic and adjust their release plans accordingly. More than halfway through 2023, we've already seen some notable AAA games like Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, Skull & Bones, and Pragmata delayed pretty heavily. Because video game release date delays are so common, it can be tough to keep track of every game that has had its launch date shifted in some way.
That's why, just as we did in 2021 and 2022, Digital Trends is rounding up every game delay that's announced throughout 2023. Here are the high-profile ones that have happened so far, listed chronologically by their new intended release dates.
The Dark Pictures: Switchback VR (March 16)

As Until Dawn: Rush of Blood is one of the best games for PlayStation VR, The Dark Pictures: Switchback VR, Supermassive Games' PlayStation VR2 successor, is a highly anticipated launch title for the upcoming VR headset. Unfortunately, it will no longer make PlayStation VR2's February 22 launch and will instead be released on March 16. On Twitter, a message from Supermassive Games says this delay will ensure that players "receive the most polished, terrifying experience possible" at release. The game was released on that date to mixed reviews.

Is Remnant 2 cross-platform?
Three characters shoot at a boss in Remnant 2.

Aside from the focus on firearms and integrating some randomly generated environments, the Remnant series sets itself apart from other souls-like games mainly with its focus on co-op. Both titles encourage you to team up with two friends to fight your way through the mutated monsters that await. After so many years of progress in terms of multiplatform games incorporating full cross-platform support, you might assume Remnant 2 will follow suit and let you make a group with anyone regardless of what platform they're on. However, the truth may be a bit more disappointing. Before you make plans with your squad, here's what you need to know about Remnant 2's cross-platform support.
Is Remnant 2 cross-platform?

Unfortunately, Remnant 2 does not have cross-platform play between PS5, Xbox Series X or PC -- and there's no word about it being added in the future.
