Four new images from new Uncharted film teases the movies plot

While video game movies have had a hard time of it in the box office, Sonic the Hedgehog came along and showed everyone that it was possible to make a good film based on a video game. With that in mind, we really hope that the latest Uncharted film does justice to the amazing series of games that came before it. We’ve already reported that Tom Holland will be playing a young Nathan Drake while Mark Wahlberg will be playing his elder brother, Sully, but now, it looks like we’ve got a new set of images from the film.

Posted by the official Uncharted movie Twitter account, the images show off a map, a crucifix and two other cryptic images. Could these artefacts have anything to do with the plot? Who knows. We’ll just have to wait for the to be released to find out. The film is set to premier on July 16, 2021, but with the way things are going, we may just see the film being released online.

OnePlus CEO Pete Lau has previously gone on record to reveal that the company is planning to launch the much-awaited OnePlus Watch in early 2021. OnePlus was developing a smartwatch back in 2015 but shelved the project to focus on its smartphones. However, the company is now working with Google to improve the smart wearable ecosystem and how users interact with different smart devices.

“What we're trying to do is work with Google to try to improve the connectivity between the Wear OS ecosystem, Android TV, and Android smartphones to create this ability for better device interoperability across the ecosystems,” CEO Lau told InputMag in an interview. 

The OnePlus Watch was teased during the launch of OnePlus 8T, and it is likely to feature a round dial running WearOS out-of-the-box. Moreover, there have been several rumours and leaks now about the upcoming OnePlus 9 series that could launch as early as March 2021. The OnePlus Watch could make an appearance alongside the new smartphones while the fitness band is likely to launch soon.

Call of Duty: Mobiles On The Brink feature event to start this week

Call of Duty: Mobile’s On The Brink feature event for season 13 is due to start sometime later this week. Details of the event are not yet known, but over on their official blog, Activision has teased a few things players can expect in the new mode. As per their teasers, the event seems to have an overarching espionage theme with players tasked with activating and deploying sleeper agents to infiltrate city centres.   

“Expect to activate new spies by playing Multiplayer and Battle Royale. On your way, you can unlock weapon sets that provide a recruitment bonus. Get the job done to earn new Epic items, along with an assortment of other Rare and Uncommon weapons and items.”

That is pretty much all that we know about the event we know for now. However, looking at the thumbnail for the event on Call of Duty: Mobile’s ‘Event’s menu suggests that players might be looking at unlocking a new Epic Weapon blueprint for the Outlaw sniper rifle. 

Last season's feature event was called Knights Divided. The event saw players choose between the Red Team and the Blue Team. Tasks were assigned each day and completing these tasks earned points for their team. The team with the most points at the end of each day won territory and the team with the most territory won a special item. The accumulated points also gave players the chance to earn certain team specific items. However, in order to ensure fairness, the items on offer for each team were the same, except for a difference in colour.
