We’ve just announced our third DLC release: the UNCHARTED 2: Among Thieves Siege Expansion Pack—2 new maps, 6 multiplayer skins, 11 new Trophies and 1 new co-op game type. The Siege Expansion Pack will be for sale on the PlayStation Network store on April 22, 2010.

Mark your calendars for Thursday, April 22. That’s when our latest DLC release for UNCHARTED 2, the Siege Expansion Pack, goes up for sale on the PlayStation Network Store. Full details on what’s inside the Siege Expansion Pack below.

Siege cooperative game type
An arena co-op game type where two to three players defend a marked territory within a map against waves of NPC opponents. At the end of every round, the territory will change locations within the map and the NPC opponents will increase in difficultly. The only way you can score co-op points is to have all your players within the captured territory, all while being assaulted by NPC opponents.

2 maps
The Highrise
Towering over the streets of Nepal, The Highrise is a map with plenty of opportunities for players to get the high ground on their opponents. Set on a series of destroyed and under-construction buildings, players need to be on their toes as there are many different jump locations and paths around the map. Players should also watch out for the incoming airstrikes, as they can clear the rooftops in seconds.

The Museum
Set at dusk amongst the courtyards and display cases at the site of Drake and Flynn’s heist, The Museum provides players with a mix of intense gameplay covering traversing across rooftops, dodging gunfire through twisting corridors, and close quarters fighting. Players need to watch their backs as there are numerous flank routes in all parts of this circular map. Players should also learn the secret climbing routes that will allow them to get the drop on their opponents.

6 multiplayer skins

Wetsuit Drake
Baseball Shirt Drake
Prakoso
Platzor
Glowzor
Dead Explorer

11 Trophies

Bronze

You Can’t Break Me – Complete all 3 co-op objective maps on Crushing

We’ve put screenshots of The Museum and The Highrise, a few Siege gameplay images and character renders of all the new multiplayer skins in the Siege Expansion Pack Set on our Flickr page.

The PlayStation.Blog.Europe has all the information, including pricing, for our fans in Europe.

Shortly prior to the when the Siege Expansion Pack goes on sale, Title Update 1.07 will be released. We’ll provide more info what’s in Title Update 1.07 as we get closer to release. For those of you wondering—this title update won’t make any changes to bring multiplayer back to 1.04/pre-1.04—but, there are some great updates in that we’re pretty certain you’ll like quite a bit!

I miss 1.04 too, but 1.07 sounds intriguing. I’m sure it’ll have some great upgrades.

Either way, I’m gonna buy the full Siege and Skins bundle no matter what. The two maps look outstanding, and I’m sure there’s plenty of fun climbing and jumping points in both.

With deepest respect, I’d like to add that the new skins seem to be a missed opportunity. Platzor and Glowzor seem unconnected to the Uncharted universe and superfluous since we already have many skeleton skins. I would rather have a new model of Sully available in future DLC, as I’ve heard many requests for him.

Posted by: Cregan4584 on 04-09-2010

Skeletons should be for those that plat or beat the game on crushing. Not anyone with 6 bucks. So, I feel that to be a fail on ND’s part. Second, don’t put 1.04 in any posts unless you change the game back to it. How hard is it for you just to make a playlist for it? The 1.04 people will be happy and keep changing the game all you want for all the 1.06 fans. I’ve heard claims of you adding things you THINK we will like. It USUALLY changes the game for the worst, but not always. Here are a few tips…

-If your thinking of adding a camera view of my shoes while I am killing someone, not interested.

-If your thinking of adding a 10 second timer to gernades and giving them the damage radius of a firecracker, not interested.

-If your thinking of adding hoverboards to the game to make it easier for glitchers to get to different parts of the map, not interested.

-If your thinking of changing the FAL clip to 3 bullets and keeping the rate of fire, not interested.

-If your thinking of changing the AK47 to have accuracy which is higher than the sniper rifle, not interested.

-If your thinking of changing Down The Irons.....I’m interested.

Game has went from EPIC to EPIC FAIL after 1.04. Just add the playlist already. You have listened to your fans on everything BESIDES this.

Hey arne are this new dlc’s going to be free or are you guys going to charge. This is getting real anoying, every dlc you have to pay for. i can’t be putting money in my account all the time. Everyone already spents alot of money for buying this great games. So you should make this DLC’S free for everyone. and plus why do you guys need more money. your all rich anyways.

Posted by: arne on 04-09-2010

Everyone involved has collectively made an effort to charge for DLC since we’ve spent development time and money creating all the content for the DLC. This is pretty much the standard for DLC packs as well.

Posted by: TrustNot on 04-09-2010

new dlc = pass

i could care less right now if you guys release more dlc. i rarely play anymore because of how bad the game sucks now, and this dlc will not make me want to play more. this just makes me feel like you are trying to make people happy by releasing more dlc in order to cover up all the problems you have caused since 1.04.

i dont care to give you (ND) any more of my money for something i payed for and got completely changed on me. i totally regret buying the previous dlc. all of the competitive MP is joke because of the spawns and all of the tweaks you have made have basically turned the entire gameplay into a joke also.

why dont you concentrate on more pressing issues right now. do i have to mention glitches. those should be the main thing you are working on instead of making new maps. how about concentrating your time and effort on making a separate playlist for all these ridiculous changes you are making, again this is becoming a very bad joke. i know that this is the first MP you have done but i feel this can be or could have been handled a little bit better.

from the way you have handled/handling the MP aspect of Uncharted 2, i can definitely say i am not getting my hopes up for uncharted 3. i can tell you right now that i will buy that game used because why would i give you any of my money if what i pay for will just get changed a few months down the road.

i dont know why i still have my copy of U2.... maybe its because i still have hope that something will happen and the gameplay will revert back to 1.04. this is the main thing i really want to know. just give everyone a concrete answer, yes or no, on the whole 1.04 and if there is hope for people like myself who still have their copies but never play it anymore. i am getting sick and tired of coming on this website to find that there are going to be more stupid changes to this game or more pointless dlc that just covers up the problems you have caused.

Well, let me know when there is an option for 1.04 mode and spawns that arent REDICULOUS and i will go to a used games tore and re purchase this game. Until then i have battlefield.

Please dont ever mess a game up as badly as you did this one.

Posted by: Shadow-Man_4 on 04-09-2010

Arne, please reply to this question:

1) Will TU 1.07 fix spawns/ will it have fixes to anything?

2) Why haven’t you guys posting on the forums recently?

I really hope you answer this :( Thx.

Posted by: arne on 04-09-2010

I can’t talk about 1.07 just yet, but we will. Spawn changes we can do on the fly and we’ve been trying out some new ones.

We’ve been busy and I’ve had a really bad cold after a ton of traveling. None are great reasons, but we’re still around!

Posted by: gmoney0505 on 04-09-2010

Great DLC.

If 1.07 is not adding a playlist so we can play in the 1.04 update with the great spawning system and balanced weapons, then this DLC maps are a waste to me cause the latest update makes all maps unplayable with enemies getting spawn right behind you like 3 seconds after I have spawn.

Posted by: mikex6989 on 04-09-2010

ahhhhh i cant wait!!! i really hope the ak47 damage is decreased to have a chance to get away from being shot in the back. and fal rate of fire increased again. and grenades back to the way they were!!! if that happens i will be the happiest person!

Posted by: xImpactt on 04-09-2010

Holy shit ND you guys are the best, ive been waitimg for a map at the Museum and in Nepal and you guys have made my dream come true. Those new skins are insane, i would never have guessed you would make a bright green and platinum silver skeleton skins & the Wetsuit and Baseball Drake skins are really awsome and the Wetsuit will probaly be my new favorite. Ive also been waiting for a new coo op mode too so I really like how you created the Siege mode, it looks like a bunch of fun for me and all the other UC2 players. I really enjoyed hunting down the trophies from the Drakes Fortune DLC so I can’t wait to start hunting down those new trophies when I buy this DLC on the 1st day.

Thanks for doing this for us, and I hope you keep the DLC coming after this.

Posted by: Luxis on 04-09-2010

Why don’t you give us some MORE CONVENIENT skins?
I mean, an Uncharted 2 version of Sully would be A LOT better than ANOTHER version of Drake (...useless, too). We’re still using the first version of Sully from Drake’s Fortune… you already have the Sully models of Uncharted 2, a WINTER VERSION of him too, so why you don’t give us the skin of one of the best and most important character of the game? Platzor, Glowzor… what the hell.. I’m sure that Sully DESERVES more attention…

Posted by: Shadow-Man_4 on 04-09-2010

Thanks for responding arne. And I really love you guys! Hope you get back well soon

I just can’t wait about what’s in TU 1.07. But can you please post about this on the forums now? People would be more than happy to see you back posting..

Thanks again and hope that you get well soon

Sweet new maps -_-’ still things needed to be fixed tho, like these so called updates.1.04 was the best, now (with 1.06) its pure crap sorry to say but naughty dog I understand your trying but the way your going with this is a big dissapointment because the beta was much better than 1.06 as this game needs to be put in the right direction.
please hear your real fans that love your games(since crash badicoot)
First: the gernades were great to start with after 1.06(which was the turning point for me) theres no point to use them all there good for now is if ya want to stun your enemy
Second: the health and weapons are felling way to much like moden warfare 2 which I hate more than anything what i mean is by the time you get to cover your already dead
Third: the different skins there are way to many clones (Example: drake;Winter UDF Heist wetsuit baseball) other then those few problems the game is ok, but seriously naughty dog im starting to lose intrest please listen to those who need to be heard and not to those who complain.

Posted by: DoritosBR on 04-09-2010

Will the community be split again?
I’m already having trouble finding people on ranked.

Next skin pack skin will just have the name “Yet another Drake Skin”

Agreed on having more Sully skins.

Posted by: cbelpasso on 04-09-2010

decisions...decisions now on the villains side i have to choose from eddy raja navaro pinkerton prakoso and dead explorer heroes baseball drake udf elena wetsuit drake u guys r the best even though its so hard to pick i guess i pick prakoso baseball drake lol

Posted by: Kirkpad on 04-09-2010

You don’t need DLC trophies to get the platinum right? You sound like platinum’s are important to you but you don’t even know that it’s only the original games trophies that are required for the platinum.

Posted by: arne on 04-09-2010

The Trophies unlocked via the Drake’s Fortune DLC and this DLC do NOT count towards your platinum Trophy progression.

You ONLY need to complete the original Trophies that shipped on disk to get the platinum trophy

Posted by: fadi002 on 04-09-2010

If you finish the game, play on that difficulty on a chapter where there are lots of enemies, then pause and go to bonuses > weapons then buy the GAU and you’ll be able to use it anywhere. That’s an easy way to get that trophy.

Posted by: Luxis on 04-09-2010

Please arne, I really need an answer to this:

Posted by: Luxis on 04-09-2010

Thanks for the answer arne :D
I’m sure everyone would love to play as U2 Sully and Winter Sully. We have Winter Drake, Winter Elena, Winter Chloe and Winter Flynn, so why there is not a Winter Sully? I mean the Sully from the last cutscene of the game, it would be AWESOME.
So, we’ll now have… 6 Drakes, 3 Elenas, 2 Chloes, 3 Flynns and… we’still using an OLD version of Victor Sullivan, from Drake’s Fortune :(
That’s not fair, an awesome charachter like him DESERVES a better treatment, like you did for the others.
I really hope you can let me know more about this! Thanks again!

Posted by: ballacityusa12 on 04-09-2010

i am a top 100 player online and have been a 60 for a while now, i like every change you have made none have really affected me that much until now. the new skeletons are freakin awesome who ever designed them should get a good old pat on the back. but the problem is anyone can get them, if i have 6 bucks even i am a 1 i can be a cool skeleton. i worked hard for skelzor and i am sad that i will not be the only cool skeleton on the map anymore. i think you should have to buy the dlc and then buy the new skeletons for like a few million dollars just so not everyone can be one. just a thought. but keep up being the best developer every, crash kicked ass

Posted by: el_Quinto on 04-09-2010

Are we ever going to get separate “classic” and “crushing” playlists? Obviously we’re never going to get 1.04 gameplay back seeing as how far ND has gone with all the tweaks to the current system. Uncharted 2 had a solid multiplayer before, but Naughty Dog just put the game back in beta state with 1.05. The new maps look fantastic, it’s just a shame I won’t ever play them because I don’t enjoy 1.06 and I know I won’t like 1.07. Seeing how long it takes you guys to put out these updates the game will never be fixed.

Posted by: TiDaTooth on 04-09-2010

Good job ND this DLC looks dope and fresh I hope this 1.07 update fixes glicthes theres a glicth in the flooded ruins,temple,plaza,village,fort. Please!! listen to my comment fix this please!! n do something about ppl who glicth please put them back to level 1 please!! i hate cheaters.

Posted by: Waluigi1506 on 04-09-2010

Will pick this up for Co-Op and as for 1.04 yes I want it BUT I do believe that you can do a great job with what you’ve got and I believe in you guys to deliver with 1.07 (also good job for mentioning 1.04 proves you’re still listening)

Posted by: Waluigi1506 on 04-09-2010

oh and lol, no offense but lame skins, sounds like you ran out of ideas (Platzor?) try incorporating more of SOny’s franchises like include Kratos and Zues, Snake and Liquid and maybe a skin pack for JAK AND DAXTER! I want Sig, Baron Praxis, Kira and a Jak from Jak 3 (it would also be fantastic if there were maps to… I’d love to see a HD version of Sandover Village, Haven City and Spargus City)

Posted by: fadi002 on 04-09-2010

Lots of people are complaining about the Ak-47 and FAL, Grenades, dying just as you go into cover, Down the Irons, Spawns, etc. but they were PERFECT with 1.04. An easy way to fix all these is to bring back 1.04, WITH the old health and weapon adjustments. You’ll also make A LOT of people happier.

Posted by: FluffyPrincess on 04-09-2010

Why no new Chloe / Elena skins?? No more love for the ladies? *boo boo lip*

I hope 1.07 fixes grenades and the FAL fire rate!

Also, the new El Dorado ornaments (I got all 3 sizes) in Home are the BEST! Please, please keep putting more treasures in Home, and outfits too! Is there any chance of getting an uncharted 2 personal space in Home?

Posted by: PoWPoWW on 04-09-2010

The one thing I’m not so happy about is the fact that I’m going to be re-purchasing 2 skins which I’ve already paid extra to receive when I bought the Limited Collector’s Edition Box.

That aside I’m looking forward to it arriving just before my birthday

Posted by: UnchartedFan12 on 04-09-2010

Hey Arne just wondering can most of these trophies be gained in all the playlists or just some of them and also will Siege have it’s own playlist or be with Survival And Gold Rush and where did the idea for Glowzor And Platzor come from.

Posted by: HYPNOSIS on 04-09-2010

If 1.04 had increased health, I say dont ever bring it back. One of the most frustrating things to me in this game so far is that fact i can be running behind someone totally splattering the back of their head and yet they still make it to cover or realize i have shot them in the back of the head a whole bunch of times and they just drop a grenade.Headshots should be way more effective 2 max i would say from any gun.I almost always get 3+headhunter medals.It should be more rewarding for having better aim.Also, jthan16 I dont know what you are talking about,saying the desert5 taking 4 shots.It has never taken me more than 2 hits to kill anyone with it.A headshot with it is a 1 hit kill also. Probably the 2 most frustrating things is glitchers and Situational Newbness.Glitchers need to be reset or temporarily having their access to mp removed.AS far as Situational Newbness, that needs to be tweaked somehow.Either have a timer on it like only being able to use it every 30 seconds to a minute or making it take longer for names to appear when you use it, meaning you have to stand still longer.maybe 5 seconds or something like that.Or even if you make it so it only can go through 1 wall.I personally think that situational and evasion should be disabled in elimination matches.Elimination matches should be who has the more skilled team,not which team can camp with power weapons the best.As far as the dlc everything looks pretty good to me.The skins i could do without.I only use 1 hero and 1 villain anyways. I hope 1.07 brings some of the changes i mentioned,especially better head shot damage. I am in the majority of people who like the new updates.I dont mind dying a little quicker if it means i can kill even quicker. Anyone who says that the people who want 1.04 back are the majority are seriously kidding yourselves.Think about it.All the people who stop playing/quit because of the new updates didnt cut the daily players in half.They didnt even drop by a third.I have been on recently and seen it as high as 77-80k daily players.but its usually around 58k-70k.I highly doubt all those people are just suffering through playing and are not enjoying the game at all.With all the other good games out they are still choosing play this game.The last issue i have,which i dont know if its just me or not,is that if someone quits out of the game right before it starts(on the screen that shows all the found players name)by either disconnecting from psn manually or by lag or something.98%of the time the game locks up on me and I have to reset my ps3.It only happens at that particular time.I have never lagged out or disconnected while playing online.Like I said I dont know if its just me,but is that something you could look into.It has now cost me almost a million dollars now,as when i log back in it tells me I didnt finish the last game=<.Anyways,keep up the good work ND. Aside from those 4 issues I think the game is near perfect.

Posted by: crocodile-craig on 04-09-2010

If 1.07 doesn’t make this game fun for me like 1.04
then i still won’t be playing it.
Hopefully.. just hopefully.. naughty dog will do the right thing.
Just remember, no one was unhappy with 1.04

Posted by: UnchartedFan12 on 04-09-2010

Yeah me again can i just ask the Protectorate Medal so the only way to get it is to basically kill all five members of the other team and they all have to have shot the person on my team who was carrying the treasure is that right.

Posted by: BreasticalsIRL on 04-09-2010

What are people complaining about this is a steal.
2 New maps, 6 Skins, 11 Trophys and a co-op arena game type.
Oh and a Title update I know the TU is free but still ALL that for €5.99....Man thats download robbery.

You already have my money ND.

Yes Arne you REALLY should mention another variant of SULLY to your team…
Winter Sully would be sweet.
