Uncharted 4 Multiplayer Update Gives King Of The Hill A Permanent Spot
Uncharted 4 is getting another multiplayer update this week, which adds a new mode and several new items and weapons. It also features a few new character outfits that might be familiar to The Last of Us superfans.
King of the Hill is going to be permanently added to the list of game modes when the update goes live on March 17. In case you missed it when it was a timed event (or haven't played a shooter before), two teams battle over capture points to hit a predetermined score. Uncharted 4's take adds one wrinkle, in that victory only comes by seizing control of the appropriately named Victory Hill. Fail, and it gives the other team one last chance to come back from defeat.
Players can also equip new cosmetic items as well as a pair of new long guns and a scoped pistol. If you played The Last of Us and paid attention to the Savage Starlight comics that were scattered throughout the world, you may get a kick out of some new outfits that are inspired by those comics' characters.

Our Take
I haven't spent a whole lot of time with Uncharted 4's multiplayer, personally, and I'm not sure that this update is enough to nudge me toward it. I'll always cheer for studios who continue to support their games post-release, however.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
