In partnership with our good friends at the PlayStation.Blog, we’ve combined forces (and blog posts) to reveal some stats from our recent Anniversary event and Last weekend, we held our first Anniversary Event to celebrate one year since the release of UNCHARTED 2: Among Thieves, and I think we’d be understating things to say it was anything but a rousing success! All of us at Naughty Dog wanted to thank everyone (again) who went online to participate in our Anniversary Event – getting the Anniversary Drake skin, along with mega-cash, in return – and made it such a special day for the Dogs to spend with our fan community. We pulled a few amazing stats from the Anniversary Event we thought you’d like to know: We recorded over 2.5 man years of game time in a period of just 24 hours (1 game that lasts 20 minutes = 20 minutes, regardless of how many players in the game) Those 2.5 years came from 1,079,850 player games (10 players in a game = 10 player Read more...

As we mentioned last week, everyone in our community who played during our UNCHARTED 2 Anniversary Event on Saturday, October 16, will be receiving exclusive access to the special Anniversary Drake multiplayer skin. We’ve JUST completed making the necessary updates and the next time you log into UNCHARTED 2 multiplayer—it should show version 1.09.033 or higher in the upper right—everyone who participated will be able to select the Anniversary Drake skin in the Hero Character selection within their online profile in multiplayer. If you have ANY issues whatsoever—did you play but you don’t have the skin? Are you missing skins you should have in your multiplayer profile?—please head to this thread in our community forums and let us know! We’ll be keeping a close eye in the thread and will work with all of your to correct any valid issues we hear about. Thanks to all of our wonderful fan community for an awesome year and, from all Read more...

We’re just over one week away from our special one-day only anniversary event to celebrate 1 year since the release of UNCHARTED 2. (Can you believe it’s nearly been a year ALREADY?) We’ve got a bunch of things planned to make our one-year anniversary not only an awesome special event, but to also show how much we do appreciate our fans and our community – from those of you who have been around since last year’s beta to everyone joining us with the release of the Game of the Year Edition. We’ll post more details on NaughtyDog.com next week, but for now, we wanted to reveal the special playlist available for one day only, on October 16—“The Best of… The Lab.” The “Best of… The Lab” playlist compiles the most popular episodes of “The Lab” as voted on by YOU on our NaughtyDog.com home page polls.

Due at retailers all over North America starting on October 12, 2010, the UNCHARTED 2: Among Thieves Game of the Year Edition has a suggested retail price of $49.99, which includes the regular retail Blu-ray of UNCHARTED 2: Among Thieves along with a “super voucher” for the PlayStation Network Store that lets you download over $35.00 of DLC content—some of which were pre-order items only available for launch and they are still NOT available for purchase on the PlayStation Network Store. It’s been a dream to see the game so well received and continue to sell—we’re at over 3.8 million units worldwide to date—and we wanted to give anyone Read more...
