In lieu of multiplayer in those games, access to the Uncharted 4: A Thief's End multiplayer beta is being dealt out out to those that pick up The Nathan Drake Collection. While that will be a disappointment to some hoping to kick the tires of Uncharted's online battleground on PlayStation 4, there's definitely an upside to the three-game package. Everyone who buys collection will get U4 MP Beta access and it’ll be a fun way to get ready for U4!" "We don’t want to split up our awesome U2 and U3 MP communities that we have right now either. There’s access to the U4 beta so you’ll get your multiplayer fix." Furthermore, Monacelli clarified that there are "no plans to release again," which rules out the possibility of the modes appearing as DLC down the road. According to the employee, the reason behind leaving out the online mode was to prevent a division amongst fans. The removal of multiplayer from those games was first revealed by Naughty Dog's community manager Eric Monacelli. Suffice to say, this will come as a blow for those hoping to get in on the action with friends on PS4. While this compilation will undoubtedly be a no-brainer purchase for longtime fans and casual consumers alike, Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection won't feature every mode that the original games did – with the largest piece left on the cutting room floor being the multiplayer options in Uncharted 2 and 3. The SKU that's bringing all of these games to the new system, aptly titled Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection, will allow players to relive (or experience for the first time) the unique settings and action-packed vistas that inhabit Nathan Drake's in-game universe. Despite being a poorly kept secret, PlayStation 4 owners were happy to receive official word that they'd be able to play all three main Uncharted games on their newer console.
