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 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!
I am so psyched for this, but can I ask you guys at Naughty for one favour.
Please… please… PLEASE…
No Situational Awareness!
Besides that, let your creative imaginations take you wherever they want to go. I can’t wait for this!
O. M. F. G.
This is FULL of WIN.
If there’s a game that has the potential to bring this gamer over to 3D gaming, this is it.
I think I just J****D In My Pants!!! Man, I can not wait!!!!
I’m thrilled about this! I was also really excited to see the English pound sterling money. A UK destination, perhaps. I’d love to see Drake jumping around one of the castles or even a few UK inner city skirmishes. Sweeeeet!
Sweet, can’t wait for it. Naughty Dog, you have been spoiling us too much. Why can’t all developers learn from you, keep making great games and noticeable improvements on all fronts =)
I had a huge feeling that that what they planned to announce. exciting… now to uncharted 2 multiplayer for xp multiplier.
This is toooooo early. I’m still playing Uncharted 2. I don’t think it’s time for Uncharted 3 unless you guys brought up your Online Multiplayer skills up to Bungie’s level which I think no one is going to touch their level of dedication with online features.
HOLY SHIATZU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Nice to see Sully have a bigger emphasis on this game, I felt he wasn’t big enough in U2.
heck ya saw this at 8am on other sites woohoo cant wait tho
Will Elena be in it? Can’t have Uncharted without Elena
Am so happyyyyyyyyy :D
F****** AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LET THE ADVENTURE BEGIN!!!!!!!!!!!!
Please go back to being more Dude Raider then Gears ripoff.
Wonder how long until we hear about the MP improvements too.
It’s gonna be a long until next year.

I just Blu-rayed my pants.
I am so excited for this game! Looking forward to learning more over the next several months!

WANT! O_O
AMAZING! I cant wait for this!
Oh god!!! This is going to be absolutely epic!!!

O_O
Thank you…I love you.
I’m really happy about this! I’m a huge Uncharted fan from the very beggining and it’s one of the reasons I love my PS3. The only thing that pushes me back is the long waiting we got ahead until we can have this game in our hands! The countdown has begun!
First gameplay next Monday on “Late Night with Jimmy Fallon”, apparently, according to Kotaku
COOP campaign, pleeease!
O NO!!!
“force Drake to confront his deepest fears.”
– NOT CLOWNS!!!!!!! ANYTHING BUT CLOWNS!!!!
…poor Drake.
I dont think this will be the news sony was talking about for the 12th of december I think this is to add ontop of it…. Doesnt come to a surprise for me I think Nolan has a multi year contact with sony to do the voice over for uncharted so… Sony is comming into its Zone last 2 years and showing us gamers that the wait was worth it compared to the competition… Last xmas I saw a few people buying PS3 and not once last xmas did i see a person with a X in a box hahahahaha…. Uncharted 3, Little big Planet 2 Killzone 3 Infamous 2 F.E.A.R. 3 Back To The Future and also YOU DON”T KNOW JACK just to name a few titles comming to PS3 in 2011…. The Competetion has nothing to offer plain and simple… :)
Oh… and one last thing! Please I want Chloe and Elena to come back again!
YES!!!!!!!
Can’t wat for it!!!
Go Naughty God brin us an amazing experience once more =D
OMG, please make it longer and have an improved multiplayer gameplay. I’m SO buying this when it comes out! Can’t wait!
NAUGHTY DOG, you guys are BEASTS!!!
X-mas just came early!
Lo mejor del mundo!!! El mejor juego de la historia!!! YA NO PUEDO ESPERAR
Hah, a desert? Jak 3 much? :P Awesome though.
Great news! I wasn’t expecting this kind of announcement so soon.
Now, please… If you are listening Sony…
STOP THE UNCHARTED MOVIE NOW. Everything I have read about it so far sounds HORRIBLE and if the director/writer continues on the current path he is steering it towards, it will do nothing but harm this outstanding franchise. MAKE IT STOP!

Hands down, already Game Of It Release Year. No doubt about it the screen shots look amazing, even though they are at their Arts phase.
But keep it up Naughty Dogs. You guys already own our Action-Adventure Hearts. :)
Oh hell yes…
thank you naughty dog and sony…
cant wait for the next installment of this series.. a true work of art.
I cant wait for the visual and emotional ride naughty dog plans to take us on next.
I hope you keep true to your track record of not only great visuals and gameplay but the amazing writing and voice acting.
Sweet!
Oh my God I cant wait !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Uncharted 3 is on the way and they’re still saying “we think we can do better“ when other developers are releasing more of the same “formula“. Naughty Dog should win Developer of the decade!
is it okay to say i jizzed my pants from this here info!!!
I hope they won’t stress ND for the 3D part, i heard GT5 suffered from faulty design in the tracks and their environments because Sony wanted 3D in it. It would be a complete shame if Uncharted 3 would suffer from that as well seeing Uncharted 2 is just a gaming masterpiece.
Anyway, GOGO GAME OF THE YEAR 2011 NAUGHTY DOG!
he seems more gruff, will he still be the same? D:
dude i can’t walt to play this one oooo yeah it will be sweet!!!!!!!!!!
please, no online or multiplayer trophies! also, where’s the uber-limited, ultra rare uncharted trilogy with a drake die-cast figure?! man-crush!
