Over on the PlayStation.Blog, we revealed that there’s some more UNCHARTED 2 downloadable content to be released on the PlayStation Network Store next week – a multiplayer skin pack with eight new skins and a PS3 Dynamic Theme. If you’ve been reading our community forums, you probably found out about the multiplayer skins a few weeks ago, but now it’s official and we’ve got a release date for you—Tuesday, August 17, 2010.

There’s been a ton of requests for all kinds of UNCHARTED 2 DLC up on our community forums (feel free to add more!), so that’s exactly where we headed when we were looking for ideas for our next set of multiplayer skins. After a little group decision making, we settled on these eight skins for the UNCHARTED 2: Among Thieves Sidekick Skins Pack:

Heist Chloe
Borneo Chloe
Borneo Sullivan
UDF Sullivan
Winter Sullivan
Wetsuit Elena
Dillon
Mac

You can check out a selection of screenshots featuring these multiplayer skins in our Flickr set.

Also available on the PlayStation Network Store that day is the UNCHARTED 2: Among Thieves Dynamic Theme for your PS3. You can get a good look at the Dynamic Theme in action in the video embedded below.

Both the UNCHARTED 2: Among Thieves Sidekick Skins Pack and the Dynamic Theme are priced at $2.99 in North America.

If you’re located outside of the US and Canada, please check your local PlayStation Network Store for pricing in your region.

ND !!! i LOVE YOU and RESPECT you and admire your work , BUT what we will do with new skins without new MAPS ? or GAME TYPES ???

REALLY :( we have over 20 skins allready !
what about new WEAPONS ? NEW BOOSTERS ?? NEW COOPS ??

Anyway thank for this refreshing miniDLC, i and myself , we will wait for something more ... playble

Posted by: Ryanfx1 on 08-12-2010

ok not to be rude to you ND but adding the same characters with different models gets old after a while can’t you guys add new skins like put sir francis drake in the multiplayer cause if you don’t put him in then why did you add him in single player anyways?

Posted by: law952 on 08-12-2010

I like the new skins but think i will only be playing with winter sully, but I’m saying that the others are not good, it’s that finally sully will get to shine a little more.
the theme i’ll pass as i like my wallpaper of my pets

and we need to go back to previous edition of plunder before the 1.09 update because this is just ridiculous get $2 for a kill and like $125 for triple threat. i know the point of plunder isn’t to get kills but you have to get kills to score the treasure, and i worked hard for those kills and would like to level up, but you cant level up with that little amount of money.

Posted by: arne on 08-12-2010

The changes have worked out quite well actually—you’re getting a pretty hefty reward for all Objective medals so most Plunder games end up with a decent cash reward for either team, of course the winning team will get the lion’s share of the cash from the match.

Posted by: Tjc99 on 08-12-2010

I think some medals could use a tweak, as if your trapped on a hopeless team you could atleast pull something out of playing well.
I am still getting dropped into matches with kill-farmers and regardless of any changes they will always be around.

Posted by: RaG--G-Meister- on 08-12-2010

Did it not occur to you guys, you could have just put in a $20,000 prize for winning the match? and left all the objective medals the same? because atm, there is no point in winning a match as theres no reward

Posted by: arne on 08-12-2010

Keeping everything else the same but awarding solely a win would have resulted in the same kind of killfarming (for kills/cash, not KDR) that we saw before—which was capping the treasure 1-4 times to make sure your team won the game (for cash and stats) and spending the remaining time getting kills and kill-related medals for the remaining cash. It was clear that to make the behavior adjustment, we had to increase the value of the Objective medals and essentially force our players to cap the treasure as many times as possible.

Posted by: arne on 08-12-2010

Using negative boosters in Plunder doesn’t help you achieve the goal—I would stick with those that let you cap the treasure or protect the treasure bearer and/or deposit to get the most of out Plunder and other objective games.

Love the new theme, but I can’t help but think “will Drake ever get to his destination? D:”
And at the risk of sounding like a broken record player: Hey Arne, when we getting them avatar things over in the UK? ^^ I kid, I know it’s not down to ND.
Kudos on the DLC anywho.

WHAT KIND OF DYNAMIC THEME IS THIS!!!!!!

This theme doent show what Uncharted is about. I was expecting more action or graphics NOT THIS DEAD MAN WALKING!!!!

Did your creativity ran out???

Im disappointed!!!

Posted by: arne on 08-12-2010

The Dynamic Theme represents a key moment in our game and one of our major themes in the story—Drake, beaten up and down on his luck, facing apparently insurmountable odds. This was a major turning point to how the story progresses. (Trying to avoid spoilers).

Posted by: NearRivers on 08-12-2010

This is some good work NaughtyDogs.

I like the Sully variations, and I’m glad that actual characters were included rather than more skeletons.

I’m personally not bothered that there aren’t any new maps, as I enjoy playing the default maps more anyway.

Posted by: gray-man_69 on 08-12-2010

something that makes me mad is the new plunder. getting $2 for a kill is ridiculous. i know the point of plunder is to score the treasure, and thats fine. but i work hard for my kills and i also work hard to level up. getting $2 for a kill that is necessary for my teammate to score the treasure is just plain mad. also i dont like that i go a rampant in a plunder yesterday and all i got was like $200, that is hard to get 20 straight kills without dying. but for one kill on somebody holding the treasure i get $1000. now think about it shouldnt the one that is harder to do get more money. and is it harder to kill 20 people without dying or kill 1 person then die yourself. please return to the classic plunder that everbody knew and loved.

Posted by: arne on 08-12-2010

The new cash values for Objectives games and Plunder have actually worked out quite well for us - overall cash earnings per game are up and we see less griefing than before. Remember - everyone on the same team gets the cash reward if someone caps the treasure so it’s to everyone’s benefit to work towards that goal.

Posted by: yourworldonfire on 08-12-2010

Arne, I am planning on purchasing both the theme and skins, but do you know if there will be any discounts in the near future on either through Playstation Plus???? Also, if possible.. I’d like to see another dynamic theme come soon, maybe based on the train stuff??

Posted by: Lord_Of_Pirates on 08-12-2010

but then again, the Navarro code was a comic con 09 exclusive that just ended up being thrown into the UDF dlc. Im still kind of upset about that. Why have one exclusive item that remains exclusive, if you have another that you end up selling?

Posted by: arne on 08-12-2010

For a variety of reasons, one was a timed exclusive and the other is not. We understand the point of this feedback, which is precisely why we didn’t offer any additional exclusive items for unlock or purchase.

Posted by: RockyVistaRed78 on 08-12-2010

I have a question about that. I did pre-order the game from Best buy and picked it up the day UC2 came out but I received no voucher or code to redeem the golden weapons. I know its been almost a year, but no one else has been able to answer the question. Any ideas ame?

Posted by: Kippy318 on 08-12-2010

Hey Arne,

I agree with most of the players....we want to see new boosters, new guns, new maps and new game modes. We already have an abundance of player skins.

Can we expect new DLC in the future other than skins? What about the golden guns?

Thanks

Posted by: MaterialBoy on 08-12-2010

Like the new skins. Chloe ones are great. Dillon is really cool too.

I’m from the UK. Can you confirm that we’ll get this DLC at the same time as the US, or will we be waiting like with the avatars? Don’t want to get my hopes up and then find them missing from the store next week.

Posted by: CaptainGillette on 08-12-2010

And another $2.99 of my hard earned cash goes off to ND.

I do hope there are new maps in the works though… since I unlocked the last booster (Evasion) the game has gotten sort of stagnant. I have no hope of leveling up (and particularly now that cash is even harder to come by) so a few new locations (Borneo? Tree of Life? Underground tunnels?) would certainly get me addicted again.

Thanks for the new stuff guys!

Posted by: alexruler on 08-12-2010

Hey ND, how about “DYNAMIC SKINS”?
-Guardian
-Scarecrow
-Decendant
-Tibet Male Villiger
-Tibet Female Villiger
-Doughnut lazarevic
-Drake Beat Up
-Cartoon Drake
-Kubla Kahn

Please put this on your “to do” list.

Posted by: Zahlia02 on 08-12-2010

I’m sorry Arne, but I can’t seem to find a “heist-Chloe” image on the flickr link. Could I ask you to put one online, because I really want to see what I’m going to buy.
Thanks in advance (even for just reading).

Btw, great work ND! Was looking forward to this.

Posted by: Odyseus_gamer on 08-12-2010

Thanks for the good price ND, im definately buying this to clear out my mind of the bad updates and all that, by the way I wanted to buy a while ago the eye of indra pack that comes with 2 skins but i couldnt find it anywhere in the ps store, can i still get it in the North American playstation store?

Posted by: arne on 08-12-2010

Last I checked with the folks working on our characters, it had turned out there were some unplanned technical limitations in adding female models to the villains team—in addition that we didn’t have any existing female characters in the game that we could use without potentially causing confusion (Chloe skins on both teams for example) without going to very distinct color palettes between the Heroes and Villians.

Posted by: ERICK_ZOMBIE on 08-12-2010

Good stuff ND! I’m glad to see you guys keep us updated, as much as I’d like to see new maps and or boosters, I can patiently wait since I know you guys have a lot in your plate. Can’t wait to buy these skins and theme. Keep up the good work ND and Arne.

Posted by: keiron666 on 08-12-2010

I think it wud be cool if u added sum characters from other consoles like

NINTENDO

MICROSOFT
master chief
...can’t think of any more 4 xbox

I no these won’t be put on as Sony doesn’t hav the rights to them but how funny wud it be 2 see mario with a RPG......

So how bout drake beat up nd 1 of the guardians

Posted by: MrPips on 08-12-2010

Arne, one of the major problems we are still having on Uncharted 2 maps are the people who still find ways of glitching going under the maps. If it’s possible to make a boundry between the playing area and the glitching area ( under the map ) so when people glitch they get booted off the game, loose 5 ranks, charged a large fee. This will help with these cheaters, MrPips…
