UNCHARTED 4: A Thief's End - The Game Awards Trailer | PS4

Sony revealed a new character from Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End in a short cutscene shown during The Game Awards 2015 Thursday night.In the scene, Nathan Drake literally bumps into a woman named Nadine Ross, who says she’s “not in the mood for games,” as she challenges him to a fight over a crucifix they’re apparently both looking for. Though Ross’ name isn’t mentioned in the clip, developer Naughty Dog confirmed her moniker in a tweet, adding that the character is voiced by video game voice acting mainstay Laura Bailey, who you may have heard recently in

Halo 5 and Tales From the Borderlands, among others.

Sony described Ross as a “decidedly less than friendly character” on the PlayStation Blog Thursday, which seems like an understatement based on the clip. However, at the risk of speculating, Sony’s vague language and the pair’s banter seems to leave the door open for Drake and Ross to become friends down the line.

In Uncharted 4, a retired (and married) Nathan Drake returns to action when his long lost brother Sam returns to ask him for help tracking down a fabled pirate treasure.

The single-player news accompanied the start of the Uncharted 4 multiplayer beta, which opened yesterday and runs through December 14. Sony packaged codes for the beta inside Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection, which compiles remastered versions of the first Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune, Uncharted 2: Among Thieves, and Uncharted 3: Drake’s Deception for the PlayStation 4. The beta allows users to play a single game type, team deathmatch, on two multiplayer levels. In the beta, players can control some of the series’ central characters, including Nathan, Elena, Sully, Sam, Katherine Marlow, and Lazarevic.

Looking forward, Naughty Dog will host a panel with the voice acting cast of Uncharted 4 about making the game at Sony’s PlayStation Experience convention in San Francisco this weekend. Fans will be able to try Uncharted 4 multiplayer offering on the PlayStation Experience show floor, as well.

Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End will be available on PlayStation 4 on March 18.

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.
