Uncharted 4 Survival Mode spans 50 waves and 10 maps. Every 10 levels will culminate in an intense boss battle, including all-new Pirate Warlords. Surviving the increasingly hostile waves of enemies is not the only challenge players will face. Being able to defend an objective, take out marked targets or collecting treasures within a set time limit all make up part of the tests.
The new Survival Mode launches in December following the PlayStation Experience Event. It sounds as if completing all 50 waves will push even the most adept of players to the limit. According to PlayStation, certain levels will be hardened by something described as “Active Modifiers.” These modifiers may make only pistols, headshots or melee attacks cause damage to enemies. An added twist will be a link to the Uncharted 4 Story Mode, whereby some of the Founders of Libertalia arrive to take you down using their mystical powers.
If you plan on attending the PlayStation Experience on December 3rd and 4th, then check out the Uncharted: Survival Booth for a chance to try the new game mode for yourself.
