I have a distinct feeling that many of you might have been expecting that this day would be coming real soon … Today, we’re beginning to reveal more about our next project here at Naughty Dog – Uncharted 2: Among Thieves.
Surprised, right?
You can catch the first glimpse of our next game on GameTrailers.com, which is hosting a video we’ve put together advertising the 2008 Video Game Awards on Spike. Our VGA ad will also premiere on the air tomorrow, Tuesday, December 2, at 9:25 PM during UFC Unleashed on Spike. Oh yeah, that means we have something much bigger lined up …
The world premiere of our first trailer for Uncharted 2: Among Thieves!
This trailer will be shown during the 2008 Video Game Awards show, airing on December 14, 2008, at 9:00 PM on Spike. Don’t forget!
On top of that, Game Informer has revealed the cover for their January 2009 issue today, which features none other than – you guessed it – Uncharted 2. The January 2009 issue will hit subscribers and newsstands in mid-December and will give you the first in-depth look at what lies in store for Nathan Drake.
Keep an eye out for a lot more about Uncharted 2: Among Thieves in the coming months!
I say drop the 2 and just call it “Uncharted: Among Thieves”
Oh and give the poor man a coat, he’s going to catch a cold!
Uncharted is my favorite PS3 game (or game in general) aside from MGS4. You have my money day 1.
Sweet, the first was awesome.Now, all we need is a multiplayer mode. The gameplay is so good, that would make a great online experience. Add in some deathmatch, team deathmatch and maybe a capture the artifact type thing. please, just do it!
Great news, let’s get this out sooner rather than later ;)
Amazing news!!
Whoot!
Own and love the first one…
can’t wait to see what’s in store for us in the second installment of this wonderful game.
I agree with 151; drop the number 2 in the title. PLEASE. Would be a lot cooler that way, like another one of Drake’s many adventures. It would make it easier to do games out of chronological order if necessary. When the series is done, get Sideshow Collectibles to sculpt some awesome bookends for the games.
We definitely need a collector’s edition of this game. Maybe package it in a treasure chest complete with map, Drake’s ring, dagger and clever clues to the inevitable and welcomed third game.
As for the free climbing mechanic, sounds great. Hope the platforming isn’t as automatic as the first.
Thank you for ruining the surpirse. WTF is the point in a mag if now everyone is gonna know whats in it a month before it come out.
So good job on killing the surpirse. Lets just hope this series doens’t turn into a Tomb Raider. Bad enough you got to go and make a squeal.
AHAHHAHAHAA AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hope this game doesn’t end like the last Uncharted ended, because when you really was getting into it, it was over.
Anybody else recognize that dagger as being very similar in appearance to the one from the Alec Baldwin “The Shadow?”
WANT WANT WANT WANT WANT
I need my dose of uncharted… Harry up guys I’m dying… lol
Definitely can’t wait. Uncharted was a huge success, and tons of replay value. I’m sure Uncharted 2 will be the same.
PLEASE tell me you NG guys are going to make Jak 4!
The Jak trilogy was amazing!!
i hope its colourful. also a multiplayer mode would be nice
:D
Great News…So it’s the time to announce a new Syphon Filter and Dark Cloud 3
Oh wow, this has made my day. Naughty Dog FTW.
can’t wait until it comes out
Finally, this game gets a sequel. I have to say this is one of the most expected games I’ve waited to see after the first game. Day one purchase from me. Also Naughty Dog if you and Insomniac can work together. Create a Jak&Daxter game along with Ratchet&Clank. Those 4 characters in one game will only sweeten everything.
Exciting news here Sony!! Already looking forward to more delicious information.
I’ll have to make sure collect all the treasures, and run the Uncharted (1) trough on difficulty hard and crushing before Uncharted 2 is out! But I bet there’s plenty of time…
Can’t wait!
Oh my gosh, finally.
Uncharted 2, Heavy Rain, KZ2, MAG, Infamous….my purchase list is just getting longer and longer!
Cooooooooooooooool! Uncharted is one of the best games till yet! I hope we will get Uncharted 2 in 2009! You made my day guys! Thank you so much for creating Uncharted 2! Greetings from Europe!
Uncharted 1 was awesome. I can not wait for part 2. Thanks.
Best game of 09 was announced! Can’t wait.
Best holiday gift ever.
Amazing news! For me, Christmas has come early.
Can’t wait for this game, the first was great.
Great news! I wish you luck on putting videos of future PS3 titles on freaking GAMETRAILERS.com. That website is so insanely biased it’s not even funny…
OMG! OMG! Can’t wait – looks awesome!!
Cool! Any chance we could see a PSP version in the future? I know the PSP has a major lack of first party titles in the works and a crap load of third party games. But I liked the first one on the PS3 alot and thought it would do great on the PSP as well. If Sony Bend was at the helm I can bet it would be another killer PSP game.
We need developers to push the PSP into even better looking games, and even more action and larger scale gameplay then we have now. Currently StarWars: The Force Unleashed, God of War: Chains of Olympus, WipEout: Pulse, and Killzone: Liberation are the only epic games on the platform other then Final Fantasy: Crisis Core. Sure we have another Final Fantasy game in the works in Final Fantasy 13 Portable, and yes both Phantasy Star Portable, and Resistance: Rretrobution are comeing as well next year but I think we need more of games that show off the PSP as a turly hardcore handheld system, Another SOCOM game that uses the same engine as Resistance: Retrobution, and a few new fighting games that use it as well would do wonders for PSP fans.
finally another good Sony exclusive!
I’ll buy it. [ Sony needs more games! ]
I still have not beat the first one yet … I know I am a disapointment as a gamer.
I need to quit my job and game all day!
YES!
Yeah when Sony said 08 was the year of the PS3 they really meant 09.
PS3 FTW!
Yay! A number two.
OMG!!!
What a freaken suprise!!!
Best game for me so far!!!
I agree with mywhitenoise(151) also, dropping the “2” would sound way better and would make it feel more like a set of adverntures(Indiana Jones) rather than a trilogy
I’m a huge fan of you guys ever since Crash Bandicoot.
Uncharted is without a doubt my most favorite PS3 game. The story, the atmosphere, Nathan (which slightly looks like Jason Rubin, only, if you ask me :-D), just “the” perfect game. To think I’m normally not a real shooter fan, though this girl finished the game on Crushing. A huge performance if I say so myself haha.
I can’t wait for Uncharted 2 and meet up with my number 1 hero Nathan again. I read about a possibly Jak & Daxter 4 release on the PS3. Only that confirmation needed and with White Knight Chronicles, Uncharted 2, 2009 has already full filled my gaming needs :-)
Good luck with the game guys, wish you all the best at Naughty Dog.

Oh yah, forgot to mention, Uncharted is like the only game so far I’ve finished about “6” times and I shouldn’t think about the game too much before I drop the disc in my PS3 and totally ignore my desperately-need-to-be-played games :D
What about the Jak & Daxter series?
I sure love Uncharted, but the little ottsel miss me…
Anyway, I hope it will be a massive game, with less graphical bugs than the previous ND game ^_^
OMG YES!!!!
holly kiwi batman, are you peeps serious about this.. another uncharted game, praise jesus… i can’t freakn wait for this one… i love the first one and now the second, sony keeps getting better and better
Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune is a must-play for any privileged PS3 owner. now hopefully, Uncharted 2 will be bigger, better, & badder, everything a sequel should be. btw, i agree w/ u guys who are saying to drop the 2 in the title. Uncharted: Among Thieves will suffice.
Arne, I would like to thank you for coming over from Microsoft and reminding SCEA how marketing is done. It is something that many at SCEA and those affiliated with SCEA have been woefully inept at during this generation of consoles. They could really use someone like you over at Insomniac. Sorry James Stevenson, I think you spent too much time on NeoGAF during the past two years, doing nothing but circle jerking Wollan and Co.
i loved the first one and i hope this one is as good :)
pshome
Waoh, a beard now, eh? ^^
Looking great, I can’t wait for more. :)
Cheers,
Chris
PS: Naughty Dog rocks! :)
Woot *Throws arms in the air screaming “Yes Yes Yes” and running in cicles…and then spilt my beer :(
Finally my favorite game of this generation gets a sequel. When do we get a release date?
Put up Uncharted on the PSN (like Criterion did with Burnout). I will buy it 100%.
I want to play it before getting into Uncharted 2 news, and can’t manage to get my lazy but to a video game retailer.
