Sony Computer Entertainment today confirmed the multiplayer details for Uncharted 2: Among Thieves. For the first time in the series, Uncharted 2 will include competitive and cooperative online modes. Multiplayer modes include up to 10 players in five-versus-five matches, along with a three player co-op mode that gives players a chance to progress through a variety of environments by working together to accomplish set objectives.
Other modes includes Team Death Match and Capture the Treasure, which sees teams working together to transport valuable treasure over dynamic terrain such as ledges and obstacles. There will be a wide range of maps available, which are based on environments from the single-player campaign, and the ability to create custom matches will allow players to use the maps that they want to.
“Adding a multiplayer aspect to the Uncharted franchise is a significant step in the re-playability of the game,” said Christophe Balestra, co president Naughty Dog. “Uncharted 2: Among Thieves will be the most impressive and ambitious game that Naughty Dog has done and we are thrilled to let our fans experience it this fall.”
Uncharted 2: Among Thieves is expected to release Fall 2009. Be sure to check out more multiplayer screenshots in our Uncharted 2 image gallery.
