Uncharted 2 to get new multiplayer DLC

By Ellie Gibson Published 15 February, 2010

Including maps based on the original game.

Naughty Dog is preparing a fresh batch of new downloadable content for Uncharted 2: Among Thieves.

It'll include 12 new Trophies, according to IGN. You can also expect 12 more multiplayer medals.

All the new content is themed around the first game in the series, Drake's Fortune. So you will see some familiar faces, or rather multiplayer skins, in the shape of Drake, Elena, Atoq Navarro, Eddie Raja, Gabriel Roman and Javier.

Plus there are two maps inspired by the original. The Flooded Ruins is set around the customs house, where a lightning storm is taking place. The Facility features the submarine pens.

The new content will launch on the US PSN Store on 25th February. It'll be $2.99 for the skins, $3.99 for the maps or $5.99 for the whole bundle. A European release has been confirmed but there's no word on a price or release date for us lot yet.

    ecosse will be pleased.

  • JohnnyWashnGo #2 2 years ago

    sounds reasonable. May have to pick it up when it is released.

  • menage #3 2 years ago

    Yes to the maps, no to the skins.

  • CaptainQuint #4 2 years ago

    Finally some new maps. Love this online, I prefer it to the n00b friendly MW2 - players of Uncharted 2 actually have to be good at the game to do well and the ranking system is more satisfying as a result. Uncharted 2 is more geared towards the hardcore market, whereas MW2 has the monoply with the 'married with kids' demographic ie, the casual crowd. Uncharted is hard to get good at, indeed it reminds me of Gears of War 1, only with added gymnastic awesomeness.

  • SlapLaB #5 2 years ago

    I'm "married with kids" and still enjoy UC2 ;-)

  • CaptainQuint #6 2 years ago

    Glad to have you onboard. I'm 32 and live with my partner, no kids yet though, but that will be changing in the next year. Either way I hope to still be putting the hours into Uncharted 2. I'm the only person I know who plays it though, since all of my friends are MW2 xp whores!

  • Lee_Morris #7 2 years ago

    If it's around £2.30 I think that is very reasonable for 2 maps, that aren't going to be made with just re pupursed assets. There was only 8000 people on yesterday afternoon which worries me that it's going to split the community.

    It really is a very good multiplayer game and a nice break from most gritty, serious FPS multiplayer games. I find it quite light hearted if you know what I mean?

    @Captain Quint

    Dunno, I'm pretty noobish in the online dep. But I rocked it whe I played UC2. Maybe it's because I can actually see my character, can use the environment and have lot's of possibilties for escape and aren't getting killed from stupid sniper headshots form beyond. It's just way more user and player friendly, and a lot more fun than regular MP games in general. Apart from the dreadful matchmaking times that is.

    @menage
    MW2 has third person gametypes y'know
    This sounds great though, more appealing than adding skins of characters from other games.

    I doubt they were really up to scratch compared to UC2, it's the whole clambering, dash roll jumping behind cover, hanging form balcony's approach of UC I really liked.

  • CaptainQuint #11 2 years ago

    Yeah me to, the run'n'gun'n'jump gameplay is like a breath of fresh air.

  • McGooch #12 2 years ago

    do these new trophies mean I will lose the platinum I've already gotten for this game?

  • Gregolution #13 2 years ago

    No you won'tose your plat. Some of the new games even let you sort by core and dlc trophies (hit triangle in trophy menu for the game).

    Will def be buying this dlc, was quite disappointed there were no online trophies in the core game. The mp is refreshing and different in uc2

  • McGooch #14 2 years ago

    great. thanks for the reply.

    I too will be buying this DLC. last years game of the year is about to get even better.

    The last $4 DLC that I remember was the scene cut fro Assassins Creed, which was £2.79 on the PSN if I remember correctly, not a bad price for a map pack, though this is only two maps.

    8000 for a Sunday isn't bad when you consider that it's a "family day" for a lot of people, throw in the fact that it was Val's as well and I'd say 8000 is actually quite good, especially for a game that's already been out a while.

  • CaptainQuint #16 2 years ago

    Everytime I go online there's between 8 and 9 thousand active players.

  • alcides #17 2 years ago

    cool but as a day one buyer I feel this is coming a month too late.

  • Murton #18 2 years ago

    cool but as a day one buyer I feel this is coming a month too late.

    I'm inclined to agree, but if these maps could be played in co-op survival mode it would be a definite buy for me.

  • DaDon123456 #19 2 years ago

    Definately getting this.... Easily one of the best games of 2009. Its a shame Im totally crap at multiplayer though.
