Uncover the truth in UNCHARTED 3!

616 4

No need to scan that headline twice and make sure you read it right – UNCHARTED 3 is real.

This morning, Entertainment Weekly revealed the next chapter in the critically-acclaimed, top-selling UNCHARTED franchise – UNCHARTED 3: Drake’s Deception.

UNCHARTED 3: Drake’s Deception continues to evolve all of the core principles we laid out for the UNCHARTED franchise, most important of which is creating an unmatched and extremely compelling interactive cinematic experience. In addition to having a compelling story and authentic characters that all of our fans can relate to as key facets to creating this type of experience, we push ourselves and the capability of the PlayStation hardware through constantly refined gameplay mechanics and technology innovation. Our dedication to creating the best interactive cinematic experience can be seen in our last two games – UNCHARTED: Drake’s Fortune and UNCHARTED 2: Among Thieves. We’re especially honored and humbled that both titles have been so successful, selling nearly 8 million units combined and earning more industry awards and accolades than we can keep track of. We’ve set the bar very high for us to outdo the past successes of our previous UNCHARTED games. We’re looking forward to taking on this challenge to top ourselves and create a truly unforgettable interactive cinematic experience that everyone can enjoy.

So, if you’re wondering what UNCHARTED 3: Drake’s Deception has in store for you, we wanted to share some early details.

UNCHARTED 3: Drake's Deception


UNCHARTED 3: Drake’s Deception features the return of famed fortune hunter Nathan Drake and follows him through a gripping, action-packed storyline that will take you all over the world. In his search for the fabled “Atlantis of the Sands,” Nathan Drake and longtime friend and mentor Victor Sullivan set off on a daring trek into the heart of the Arabian Desert. But when terrible secrets of this lost city are uncovered, their journey becomes a desperate bid for survival that will force Drake to confront his deepest fears.

Throughout UNCHARTED 3, you’ll be taken to spectacular new locations around the globe that will showcase all of the work we’ve taken on to take acclaimed physics, particle and visual effects to a new level.

Competitive and co-op multiplayer will return as a key ingredient to the UNCHARTED 3 package, where all of the new features we have planned will combine with our signature single-player cinematic gameplay to create a unique action-adventure multiplayer experience that can only be found in the UNCHARTED universe.

Oh, and there’s one more thing – UNCHARTED 3: Drake’s Deception fully supports high-resolution Stereoscopic 3D.

We’re looking forward to exploring it all with you in the months to come. Be sure to hit up your local newsstand tomorrow and pick up a copy of the December 17 issue of Entertainment Weekly – you’ll find a ton of additional details on UNCHARTED 3 and the new art shown above in glorious, full color print. Enjoy!

  • We really, really can’t wait. Maybe you should give us Drake’s Deception mp characters for UC2 for Christmas this year. What do you think? You are going to give us double cash and special characters anyway, were’nt you?

  • YES!!!!!!
    just did my happy dance this plus resistance 3 omg PS3 is KING
    about to play some uncharted 2 :)

  • I’m really happy so see U3 coming out next year but what about Jak and daxter .

  • YEEEEEEEEEEEEHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!! ND YOU ROCK!!!!!!
    ONE QUESTION… WILL YOU UPLOAD A BETA MULTIPLAYER LIKE U2 ‘TIL THE GAME IN STORES???

  • This is EXCELLENT news! I’m in love with the two first games and have played through them multiple times. I’m certain that #3 will be a hit just as the other two.

    Kinda disappointed that there’s no Uncharted for this christmas though, kinda been a tradition of mine the past two years to dedicate a weekend to go through the game with a few friends.

    But, I’m sure it will all be worth it, cause I’m waiting for something that will blow my mind away!

  • SUPER AWESOOME AMAZING UNCHARTED 3, I honestly can’t wait for this game, my Fiancée loves this game also so if there is coop mode that can be played with 2 players that would be super.

    But let’s be honest this will probably be yet another breakthrough for video games. Naughty Dog you guys and girls just rock. I appreciate all the great things you have done with Uncharted and Uncharted 2, and can barely wait for Uncharted 3.

  • 3 Uncharted games, but not one proper Jak & Daxter game for the PS3? What’s happening to the Jak & Daxter franchise?

  • I was going to make the clown joke as well…but looks like others have beat me to it…oh well.

    I’m excited to see the game in 3D.

  • Drakes jaw looks a little funny… Oh well :P I hope it explores more of the caribbean area more, as growing up in Florida made the forts in Drakes Fortune a lot more… wont say relatable but definitely could see the relations to the spanish forts I grew up around :P

  • I shall be preordering it as soon as i find out who has the best preorder bonus. I hope its Amazon as I really cant stand gamestop and Amazon sometimes gives out bonus game credits.

  • Very excited. Though I think Drake’s Decepticon would be a better title. :p

    Also, are those last two pics concept art, CG stills or in-game screens? I can’t tell. O_O

  • I have GTA IV and Resident Evil 5 sitting on my shelf, only half-played because of Uncharted games.

    I am going to have to finish my unplayed collection fast because UC3 will take about six months out of my gaming life. Nothing else will get played, I know it.

  • Naught Dog, you are the greatest! Simply can not wait for the next adventure.

  • Make sure the matchmaking for multiplayer doesnt suck this time around.

  • Such an excellent franchise from such a quality team. I am sure time will be taken with this to make it a blockbuster release rivaling even movies, as the previous games have done.
    Uncharted games have always set the standard. I’m curious to learn what new directions the game will take.

  • I CAN HARDLY DEAL WITH THE ALL THE AWESOME. Uncharted is THE high water mark in current gen gaming, nothing compares. I can’t wait to get my sweaty hands all over this.

  • Will Uncharted 3 have underwater environments that Drake & his friends will explore?

  • What a Rip.. I want to see more.

  • please i hope u guys put more into the co-op. im really not a fan of competitive online.

  • Uncharted is a great game; it can only get better. When is it going to be released?

  • Looking good. I think anybody with a pulse didn’t know the teaser for VGA would be Uncharted 3. Good to hear details about the game. My fears are that in your conquest to challenge COD, you going to follow in their footsteps with a 4 hour single player campaign.

  • Can’t wait! I am hope there is a camel chase, hut, hut :D

  • AWESOMEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!

    this is my favorite accion adventure game! it only does uncharted! XD

    this is more than gold!! can´t wait for it!

  • thank you Naughty Dog:D

  • Who the hell rated this blog post less than a 5?! This is exactly what everyone wanted Uncharted 3 to be. Amazing!

  • Heck yes!

  • good, even if somewhat expected news, i’ll take it this is sony’s ‘unrevealed game’ that will have a longer trailer released during the VGAs this weekend?

  • I was just going to ask for a release date, lol until I saw post 50. :-O

  • And there was much rejoicing! Best IP of this Gen is coming back! WOOT!
