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 Read more...

Along with launching “The Lab” for the weekend this morning, many of you noticed that the level cap has been increased beyond 60 (X). This now makes the maximum level attainable currently in UNCHARTED 2 is now 80 and is designated by an in-game badge which uses the roman numerals XXX. You can check out the full set of level badges on our Flickr photostream. Each level beyond 60 requires accumulating $15,000,000 in cash to level up and that stays consistent throughout 61 to 80. That means you will need to accumulate a total of $362,965,500 to hit level 80. If you had already hit level 60 (and hopefully kept playing) – there is some good news for you. With the level cap raise, you’ll automatically be brought up to the level that is appropriate to the total cash you’ve accumulated up to that point. That means you could come back to your profile to a higher level in recognition of all the hard work you’ve been putting in playing UNCHARTED 2 multiplayer, even Read more...

Normally, we’d shed some more light on Title Update 1.05, but what we would be revealing is covered in today’s exclusive reveal by IGN about our upcoming Drake’s Fortune Multiplayer Pack DLC releases. Head over there to read about new maps, new skins, new Trophies and new Medals. I bet now the blurry portion from yesterday’s multiplayer menu screenshots now make sense! Hint: it’s the Trophy menu item. All 13 of the new Medals will be added for everyone when Title Update 1.05 is released on Monday, February 15, 2010. Have a great holiday weekend for many of you around the world! As a bonus, we’ve embedded from IGN the Drake’s Fortune Multiplayer Pack trailer we made expressly for this announcement.

As we were putting the finishing touches on the PlayStation Heroes Skin Pack DLC content, we started working on creating some videos we could put together into a trailer to show off the new characters you could buy in the pack. We finished up the trailer last week and GameSpot posted it on Monday as an exclusive. Now it’s our turn to post it and share it with everyone. The video is posted below and you can also check it out on our YouTube Channel. Thanks go out to CHRP718, HighLuxury, I-Owe-you-Pain, W0Wbaggr, Yeef, Fizarf, Gyrian, RyanardoDaVinci, womfalcs3, and BrokenOath from NeoGAF for a little help with this one. Over on our Flickr page, we put up a brand new set of high-resolution renders of all the character skins. We got more than a few requests to put these on a plain background to make it easier to knock them out of the background and use them on fan sites, stats cards, signatures and so on. We listened—feel free to head over to our Flickr and Read more...
