Many of you have been waiting anxiously for news and details about the downloadable content we at Naughty Dog have been working on and we have been saying you’ll hear about it “soon.” Well, soon is finally here.
You may have gotten a glimpse of this initial DLC release as part of some news that made its rounds around the internet yesterday, but that wasn’t the full story.
So, what is going to be available on the PlayStation Network Store on January 28, you ask?
Thanks to our friends at Guerilla Games, Insomniac Games and Sucker Punch Productions, we’ve been able to a pull off something unique within the UNCHARTED 2 competitive multiplayer modes – our first DLC release is the UNCHARTED 2: Among Thieves PlayStation Heroes Skin Pack.
The PlayStation Heroes Skin Pack contains seven new skins featuring some key personalities from other major PlayStation first-party titles – Sev and a Helghast soldier from Killzone 2, Nathan Hale and a Chimera from Resistance 2, and Cole (both good and evil variants!) and Zeke from inFAMOUS.
The UNCHARTED 2: Among Thieves PlayStation Heroes Skin Pack will be available for purchase globally on the PlayStation Store on January 28, 2010, for $4.99 in the US. If you’re outside of the U.S., check your local Store or announcement for region specific pricing.
We have another release that’s appearing on the PSN Store on January 28 – the UNCHARTED 2: Among Thieves single-player demo will be available to all, free of cost. Now you can tell your friends who haven’t played our game yet (slackers!) that they can easily check out UNCHARTED 2 for themselves by downloading the PSN demo starting next Thursday.
As you can see, a little bit of the information you may have spotted yesterday is different and that should let you know that not everything you may have read is accurate and up to date.
There is no doubt that we have some long-term plans for DLC and that we need to share those plans with a lot of people so we can all do our jobs properly. The fact of the matter is that game development, even for downloadable content, is a fluid and sometimes unpredictable process until you get closer to releasing whatever is being worked on. We don’t share our DLC plans publicly from the beginning because things can and will change over the course of development and we absolutely don’t want to create any unrealized expectations for millions of fans of our game.
It’s incredibly important to us at Naughty Dog that our fans have the best and most accurate information about anything we’re up to. There will be more info coming in the months ahead about our future DLC content once we have everything solidly locked down – and, trust me, there are a lot of very cool things in store for UNCHARTED 2.
Less grind after hitting level 40 for the last items you need to buy at 40+ on, please. Patch this in.
Also new co-op scenarios or I’m not interested in the slightest.
Disappointing. I was hoping for you know..Uncharted themed DLC for….uh..Uncharted 2. :|
I hope in the future that Naughty Dog comes up with Uncharted themed stuff only. I know I won’t be buying this pack and I certainly won’t buy similar packs in the future.
Sigh..I’d rather have Naughty Dog implement the supposed upcoming changes to glitches on certain maps. That and I’d like to see a ban on sexist/immature/inappropriate clan names. (PSN names too but thats more of an issue for Sony to deal with. ) You know…Actual things that could improve the game a bit.
It would have made more sense to have got the Uncharted 2 SP demo out before Christmas. It probably would have helped a lot with Xmas sales.
Meyer! What about the villais skins from Uncharted 1 (Navarro, Eddie Raja, Roman, Pirate, Mercenary), Rika Raja and Daniel Pinkerton from Uncharted Eye of Indra? How long we have to wait to play with them (except the luck people who have them)
So! Good Work! :D
I can’t believe how selfish and gready some of you are. It’s only 5usd, you support developer and in doing that you support your own product. Don’t buy it if you don’t like it, case closed.
Good job NG
I also wanted to add: There were several offline player skins that didn’t make it into the online multiplayer. Why didnt they make it? Why aren’t they being added?
What happened to the skins from the beta (eg. Elena’s outfit from the first game.)?
Will there be any Uncharted 2 Avatars or Dynamic Themes?
Hopefully Naughty Dog will answer this:
Will these new characters have unique voices/phrases or will they essentially just be skins over characters with a Russian/Sully/Chloe voice?
Thank you and keep up the awesome work!
Any chance of seeing Kratos holding an AK-47?
Fantastic, U2 MP is something I didn’t spend too much time playing…until about a week ago. Now I’m hooked. It’s AWESOME!
That’s pretty rad. And I’ve gotta hand it to you guys, those assets looks so good in your engine!
THERE’S NOTHING BUT A BUNCH OF CRY BABY HERE
ITS ONLY $5
This is why I LOVE Naughty dog. Such great developers! But one pronlem.. WHERE TEH HELL IS KRATOS!?! LOL ;)
Question I’d love for you guys to answer please…
A demo is used so that gamers can try a game out before it’s released… so why does this game get a demo so far AFTER it’s release.
I just don’t understand the point of that.
There are still millions of PS3 owners who haven\’t bought or played Uncharted 2 – not to mention there will be plenty more people who will buy a PS3 in the future. We want to make sure they ALL have a chance to try out our game.
