Since this will the last Uncharted game, Naughty Dog added a lot of fanservice to the multiplayer, giving birth to the mysticals.
With the PS4 Naughty Dog could do things with AI that couldn’t be done with the PS3. That’s why they cresated the sidekicks.
In the presentation at Paris Games Week, the Cintamani Stone mystical followed the player. Now it’s a ranged grenade-like ability. It has a quite big area of effect.
The Wrath of Eldorado mystical isn’t a one hit down, but it just does damage.
The Staff of Ayar Manco is a new mystical: upon activation a staff appears on the ground and pulses periodically, it reveals the enemy team location on the radar. The radar is a new element, and you appear on it when you shoot your gun. The staff can be destroyed by the enemy for cash.
Indra’s Eternity is another newly introduces mystical: the player throws a dagger on the battlefield. It activates a large area of effect field that slows down the enemy team. They can still get out of it, shoot and throw weapons, but they’re slowed down until they are free.
Sidekicks can earn cash for you as they act on your behalf. The enemy team also gets more cash when they are killed as the sidekick performs.
The message of the day will give you periodic updates on what’s happening with the game. There will also be surveys.
The challenge popup appears every time you log into the game. It gives you an overview on the challenges that you can accomplish and gain “Relics.”
Relics are used to purchase items in the out of game store.

The beta will be periodically updated as it runs.
The cash price of items during matches increases the more you use them, that will prevent players from using them over and over.
