The title is once again to be developed by Naughty Dog Inc., and will be exclusive to the PlayStation 3 platform. The multiplayer component successfully implemented in Uncharted 2 will be making a return, along with numerous gameplay tweaks, such as enhanced climbing and combat wih multiple enemies.

In Uncharted 3, Nathan Drake is in a search for the fabled “Atlantis of the Sands.” The journey propels Drake on a daring trek into the heart of the Arabian Desert, a journey that pits him and his mentor/father figure Victor Sullivan against the occult treachery of a shadowy clandestine organization and its ruthless leader. When the terrible secrets of this lost city are unearthed, Drake’s quest descends into a desperate bid for survival that strains the limits of his endurance and forces him to confront his deepest fears.
