Happy 2012! We’re starting the year off with a fresh batch of UNCHARTED 3 DLC content and more in the pipeline that prophecies forbid us from fully portending quite yet. Hope you’ve all gotten 2012 off to a rocking start even with all the 2012 phenomenon chatter. If not, we’re about to make your end of days talk and your UNCHARTED gaming life much more awesome.
First off, today we’ll be releasing four maps we teased a couple of weeks after the UNCHARTED 3 launch.
You’ll be getting the Cave, Fort, Lost City, and Sanctuary maps in this download pack. Dynamic lighting effects, new particle effects and a slew of technical changes have been made to these maps. The lighting was reworked from scratch. New textures and weather effects are apparent and freshly decorate all maps. We poured hours of development time into these maps to make them be really fun in the UNCHARTED 3 multiplayer ecosystem. This map pack is a taste of how far we can go to remix some of your favorite maps into a completely new UNCHARTED 3 gameplay experience.
If you’re a member of the Fortune Hunters’ Club these maps will be available free to you. If not, you can gain access today by purchasing the FHC from the PS Store. It’s a fantastic deal at $24.99.
Initially, the Fortune Hunters’ Club offered a total savings of 45% off the seven multiplayer packs (three character skin packs, four map packs) that will be released for UNCHARTED 3. We’ve kicked this deal up a few notches and are now offering 14 total packs, 7 new packs that we will be revealing as the year progresses! As a FHC member the savings for these 14 packs will be over 60%! Current membership and any new membership purchased will include all currently available and any upcoming DLC packs for UNCHARTED 3 as well as an exclusive Fortune Hunters’ Club theme that will let you know when new UNCHARTED 3 DLC hits right from the XMB of your PS3.
Besides the fun new maps you’ll be playing on today, we wanted to tell you about some future hits of DLC. We have three new character skins packs coming at you next. The Rogues Pack 1 and Rogues Pack 2 will let you play as some of the major thugs and minor characters from UNCHARTED 3. Donut Pack 1 will giant-size some of your favorite UNCHARTED 3 heroes and villains.
Details on how and when the three new skin packs will be available, and what DLC is coming after that, will follow in our next blog update. We have a lot more DLC coming at you. To whet your appetite, here’s a hint to as what it may be:
Any guesses to why Lazarević is holding half a Janus head?
As you see we are currently hard at work on completely new DLC for your UNCHARTED 3 online adventure. As soon as all the content is fully baked, tested through QA and we have locked release dates you’ll be the first to know. For now, let’s explore some new maps together. See you online!
Couldn’t you spend all this time your spending making DLC for ‘Uncharted 3’ on making ‘Uncharted 4’ instead? :P :D ;)
Not sure why I’m seeing so much negative feedback. I’m very appreciative of all of the content for such an awesome price. You rock ND! Thanks again, for being one of y favorite developers on any platform right now!
I can’t wait to own all of this DLC, and can’t wait to purchase the next game you come out with.
P.S. You guys are the reason I am getting a PS Vita. I can’t wait to play Golden Abyss. I am so excited, even though now I will have to try and figure out how I’m going to pay off this semester. Either way, can’t wait to play.
Will the glitched treasures in co-op adventure also be fixed?
FCK it!!! Imma download mines first thing tomorrow!!! Thanks PSN…
As a day-1 member of the Fortune Hunters Club, I must say that I will be very disappointed if UC3 does not follow a similar model to the way UC2 handled trophies with DLC. I thought UC2’s method was a brilliant way of giving trophies to the people who wanted them, while not interfering with the Platinum trophy. Why you guys would not do something similar with UC3 is beyond me. Please considering trophies with later DLCs, as it gives me more of an incentive to stick with UC3 longer!
4300 trophies and counting!
I’m laughing at the complaints about the DLC – $24.99 for 14!!!! That’s DOUBLE the promise…..so what 4 maps are retreads, at least it is something else while they come up with other maps that are probably bad a$$!!
My only complaint….LEVELS – stuck on 75 and XP growing with nothing to do! :) When will that CAP be lifted.
Also, the FAL is a joke, dump that POS……
Lastly, waaaaaaaaa about trophies, get along little doggie and worry about something else.
Thanks ND for creating fantastic games
Hey Eric, I have a question about the FHC. Will it always be available or is only for a limited time?
As for the requests for some double xp weekends, I would rather have weekends with an increased chance of getting some of the rare treasures, just saying.
@ 80 “Regardless of what Eric said, you DO NOT get every bit of DLC available for Uncharted 3. Doughnut Lazarevic was excluded from the skin pack, and had to be purchased for $.49. So unless Eric is offering a refund to those of us who purchased the doughy villain, he is incorrect.

If you’re an FHC member you should be able to download the Doughnut Lazarevic skin FREE. Go to the PS store from inside the Uncharted 3 Multiplayer menu.”
I agree. I paid .50c for the doughnut Lazarevic too and I’ve been a FHC member since day one. I waited over a week before I decided on the purchase.
