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!

  • So just to clarify, the Co-op modes are back right?? Besides the single player that was favorite mode in the game.

  • I can’t wait.

  • Co-op needs to take a permanent vacation for this generation. Just let me game already. I don’t need your help.

  • Have you noticed Drake looking a bit older? id say 5-10 years older than UC2. What are u planning Arne?

    BTW, character aging will make us feel really connected to them. Its really engaging to watch them get older as we gamers do too.

  • my ps3 just started weeping tears of joy…no, wait, that was me. I want to know everything but at the same time know nothing so i can be totally blown away when the game starts up on my screen. oh the terrible task ahead of waiting for release dates, and the huge question…what will the special edition be, and will it be just as limited as the fabled uncharted 2 special edition?

  • Wow… this is the best news this whole year, I can’t wait… I really can’t

  • I Can’t wait I have both Uncharted 1 and 2 both great games sad Ign and other publishers don’t rave about great ps3 exclusive games Probably because xbox pays them not to and sony isn’t naive enough to pay them when we have franchises like GOW and UC that makes you unable to buy games

  • NOVEMBER 2011 FOR SURE!

  • @241 Believe me, I’d prefer a solid, lengthy single player experience too(Without the inclusion of MP). I Didn’t like the MP in Bioshock 2 and AC:Brotherhood, they’re only fun for so long before you get bored.

    I guess developers see the addition of MP as way too extend the life of their game, They want their fans to keep playing their game long after they’ve finished the single player portion.

  • Oh, and Arne, please make Nate’s journal more important to gameplay. I really liked it but it was only relevant for puzzle solving. i think you could really use it in a deeper sense, maybe to discover clues on our own, or use photos in it to find people or places. just my 2 cents.

  • Yes This is exactly what we all have been waiting for. Oh and what a few other people have said already, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE bring back Chloe and Elena. Those two are my favorite, maybe more banter between the two as well :)

    Next Year will be impossible to handle with SO MANY great PS3 exclusives to Play.
    -LBP2
    -Killzone3
    -Socom 4
    -Infamous 2
    -Sorcery
    -Motorstorm Apocalypse
    -Twisted Metal
    -Ratchet&Clank All4One
    -Resistance 3
    -And now Uncharted 3

    Oh and PLEASE Sony don’t do what you did this year, have a stellar line up then postpone many of them just because of the COD craze. I personally don’t even play COD of duty so you left me with very little to buy this Christmas season :( Maybe try releasing at least ONE HUGE Exclusive each month.

  • I think I just cried a little!!! LOL!!!

  • Oh Sony, you are going to make me even more poor than I already am once 2011 hits :)

  • BOUGHT!!! Collector’s Edition needed.

  • I…I think I need a new pair of pants…

    I can’t wait to see more!

    I’m not a big fan or supporter of 3D, but hearing that UC3 is going to be available in 3D makes me want to go out and buy a 3D TV!

  • on deck…such a great series…cant wait

  • Ok after LBP2 I’m pre ordering this *this is the first part of my comment* *Burst into tears* I LOVE YOU GUYS YOU HAVE MADE MADE DAY AND I’LL BE SURE TO PRE ORDER THIS I CAN’T BELIEVE IT I FEEL THE SAME WAY AS IFELT THE DAY LBP2 WAS ANNOUCED GET THE HELL OUT THE WAY I GOING TO PRE ORDER THIS AND YOU BETTER HAVE A CE LOL

  • So the rumor was true. Uncharted 3 has been announced and I haven’t play the second one yet. Kudo to you Naughty Dog for letting us know that Uncharted 3 is real. Is it the exclusive game has benn announcing on December during Spike’s VGA show.

  • FREAKING AWESOME, SOLD SOLD SOLD, I don’t need to see anymore, OK, that’s not true lol, YAY WOOHOO, U3 FTW, you ROCK ND!!! 8)

  • @256 DONT FORGET THE NEW GAME WE SHALL BE SURPRISED WITH ON DEC 12 ;) BEING A PLAYSTATION GAMER JUST GETS KEEP GETTIN BETTER

  • U3 OMG! Next year is going to be something special.

  • How will this top the last one? Games like these prove that single player gaming is still relevant and it is possible to craft a great multiplayer along side it.

  • I hope Naughty Dog Take their time with this piece of art, i dont care it i wait 3 years as long as it is a masterpiece like 2.

  • Let the jaws hit the floor.

  • OMG! U3. Now i am i bit happy with this news compared to the casting of the movie.

  • Please DO make a Collector’s Edition but please DON’T make it impossible to get like the Uncharted 2 Fortune Hunter Edition. Granted, that package was sexy, but only 200 existed. I’m sure a high-quality package like that wasn’t cheap to produce, but can we get one that is available to all parties interested this time around? Thank youuuuuu!

    LOVE TO SEE CO-OP THROW THE STORY OF UNCHARTED 3: Drake’s Deception

  • Any chance we’ll be getting co-op for the entire main campaign?

  • @265 This is it I believe

  • Just another reason why I’m so devoted to PlayStation.

  • awesome can’t wait.

  • @272

    Nice trolling, troll.

    Keep crap-op out of my single player game.

  • I’m in a public setting and can’t seem to wipe this stupid grin off my face… I also have an uncomfortably warm, fuzzy feeling inside (literally). …But I don’t mind it.

  • I take back everything negative I’ve said in the last few weeks. Bless the chips is all I have to say.

  • The feeling I have right now is the feeling I had when Gran Turismo 5 finally came out. I’m so freakin’ excited!

  • WHOA!!! I never thought they would NEVER make Uncharted 3.I really like the graphics and story. I couldnt wait until Uncharted 2, now I cant wait for Littlebigplanet 2 and Uncharted 3!!

  • 3D, YES!!! I’m really enjoying my 50″ 3d plasma, and was thinking God I wish Uncharted 3 would have a 3D option. I just finished CODBO in 3d, what a difference it makes. (other great 3d games..Motorstorm Rift 3D, StardustHD, Tumble, GT5)

    Some ideas/suggestions..

    -Make the puzzles harder, and/or don’t give out hints to solve them so quickly.
    -Add some first person perspective sections to the game, or options for it in multi player.
    -Add some sandbox map sections, giving more freedom to explore on your own, like Half-life2 maps. Call of Juarez did this, a linear game with a couple free roam sections.
    -Drivable vehicles in some sections. (Jeeps, planes, hang gliders)

    I guess what i’d really like is a game that combines Just Cause 2, Half-life 2, and Uncharted(s) all in one game! Probably way to much to ask, so just do whatever your doing, and thanks for supporting 3d!

  • i cant stop looking at this post and getting goosebumps its that FREAKING AWESOME.

  • Hey Naughty Dog! You’d better release a COLLECTOR’S EDITION this time! not only a Limited Edition extravaganza that only a few lucky souls can “win” in a contest or something. I want a true Collector’s Edition, fairly priced and with many goodies!

  • deception, a cigar! i hope we dont decieve sully!!!

  • ATTENTION SONY/Naughty Dog

    TAKE MY MONEY NOW! I want this game so badly!

    Looks EPIC!!!

  • nice , i cant wait !!! so whats the ps3 exlcusive reveal thats supposed to happen on the 12th ?

  • YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Is this the big announcement that was suppose to be on the 12th?

  • Oh YEAH! INFAMOUS 2 ALSO!,HOLLY COW!! 2011, the best year for PLAYSTATION. LittleBIGplanet 2, Infamous 2, Killzone 3, Twisted Metal, Uncharted 3, Motorstorm Acolyspe. A LOT of sequels!!!!

  • when I seen this I was singing “HALLELUJAH HALLELUJAH HALLELUJAH!!!”

  • O_O *faints*

  • Can’t wait for this game.
