Sony has revealed another short video, titled “The Arrival”.
Just a few days ago, Sony revealed “The Reload” video and this new short video seems to be a continuation of it, or a direct link.
You can watch the video here:
First thing’s first, the date that is show at the end of this video and the end of the Reload video was initially speculated to be a reference to the introduction of the new PlayStation Store in North America. But since the premise of the store has been delayed, this speculation is now invalid. Therefore, we can now easily assume that this is either a continuation of Sony’s “Michael” advertisement or a promotional video for PlayStation All Stars Battle Royale. The dates at the end could be for the release of the complete video.
In “The Arrival”, we see the same woman at the same desk as in “The Reload”. This time, she is typing a letter with symbols from the Ratchet and Clank series, which have been identified to read:
“Dear Copernicus we have received your letter and regret to inform you captain…”
Copernicus could be Copernicus L. Quark, a character from the Ratchet and Clank series. This character did not make it to the roster of PS All Stars Battle Royale, so perhaps that’s why this letter was being written to him. He does appear as a NPC in one of the maps though. This further supports the speculation that this video could be for PlayStation All Stars Battle Royale.
A jeep is later shown in the video which has a propane tank, similar to that in the Uncharted series, stored at the back. Then, a silhouette of a figure is seen, who can easily be identified as Nathan Drake as he gets out of the jeep.
The previous advertisement had us thinking about inFamous 3. But with this, it’s pretty clear that we were wrong. Everything points towards PlayStation All Stars Battle Royale, but can we be completely sure? It’ll all come to light soon.
Expect more videos like this soon.
