Uncharted 2 Set for Free Multiplayer DLC; Double Cash Weekend Set to Fatten You Up

Naughty Dog announced today that the first downloadable content for Uncharted 2's multiplayer mode will be available to all for free this Friday, November 27th.

In addition to a new map called "The Fort," a throwback map based on The Fortress level in Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune that’s described as “a long rectangular map with wide open spaces and excellent flank routes,” players will also get multiplayer leaderboards and a player card.







If that weren’t enough, this weekend will be a Double Cash event to help you unlock every last gaming morsel. Best of all, goodies and baddies will be comically and appropriately re-skinned to fit the Thanksgiving holiday. Doughnut Drake and Doughnut Lazarevic are gaming gold!







Below you’ll find a fly-by video of “The Fort” as well as the complete news posting featured on Naughty Dog’s official website. Enjoy!

Naughty Dog Posting:

The Thanksgiving holiday is nearly upon us and we’ve cooked up a little something at Naughty Dog to give thanks to all our fans. We’re pleased to reveal that, as part of an update to UNCHARTED 2: Among Thieves later this week, a new Multiplayer map will be available for all players at no cost. That’s right, the first downloadable game content we have made available will be FREE as a gesture of appreciation to all our fans!

The new map is called “The Fort” and is a throwback map – it’s based on the “Fortress” chapter of UNCHARTED: Drake’s Fortune. The Fort is a long rectangular map with wide open spaces and excellent flank routes. Can’t take on the enemy head on? Take the tunnels into the basement to get behind the opposing team. There is a shotgun in the center of the map, but look out for people climbing up from below to pull you to your doom. Pay attention to the side room in the crypt, there is an RPG that is ripe for the taking.

“The Fort” will be available in all Competitive Playlists and the Co-op Arena Playlist!

Check out a video flythrough of “The Fort” embedded below.







In addition, we’ve added a couple new features to the Multiplayer menu – Leaderboards and a player card. You will be able to check out how you stack up against your friends or where you stand on the Global stats in the following real-time Leaderboards:

* Competitive Wins

* Co-op

* Kills

* Money

As you hop from match to match, the new player card will provide you with a instant snapshot of your vitals: level, competitive wins, kills, money, co-op points and your current booster loadout. More screenshots of the Leaderboards and the player card are in our Flickr gallery.

We can’t wait to get all these updates in your hands in the next few days and see what you think.
