If Drake's Fortune saw lots of water and dense jungles, Among Thieves had snow and ice, what would be next for Drake's Deception? From what we've seen in the videos so far, it's got a lot of desert sand and some fire. It seems hot is the word for the next title.

"We’re always on the lookout for new technical challenges and we’re really happy with what we’re achieving with our fire effects," Meyer said. "It’s not just a static asset – the fire deteriorates the wood realistically and there are blowback effects, like you would expect. The smoke is looking much better this time around."

But just because the wood burns, doesn't mean the whole thing will come crashing down if you wait long enough. "You could sit down and watch the chateau burn around you, if you sit there long enough; however, we want the player to proceed through the game at a decent pace so that’s not going to happen," he explained. "Even in this demo, you can see beams deteriorating as they burn, and you can even take cover behind them when they give way and fall to the floor, only for that cover to disappear when the beam has burned away completely."

For locations, we visited regions such as the Amazon and the Pacific for Drake's Fortune, Borneo, Tibet, etc. in Among Thieves, so where to next? "Drake is going to be exploring many locations across the world," Meyer revealed. "We’ve only shown two of them, the desert and the chateau, but he’s going to be exploring many different places. We like to drop hints everywhere so you should probably keep your eyes peeled."

Speaking of hints and eyes peeled, this video might help you with that.
