Uncharted 2 Multiplayer And Beta
All of the rumors about Uncharted 2: Among Thieves are true! It was just announced that it will have a competitive and cooperative multiplayer mode. Evan Wells (Co-President of Naughty Dog) said that they have kept this a secret for more than over a year and a half. Evan also said that the Naught Dog crew has been expanding rapidly and they now have a few more dogs.
"If you’ve been looking closely at our interviews, our team here at Naughty Dog has been growing rapidly and we now have quite a few more Dogs on staff than when work finished on UNCHARTED: Drake’s Fortune. It shouldn’t be a surprise that we had to grow our studio to tackle the task of creating fully-realized multiplayer and co-op modes that would live up to our own high standards and do the UNCHARTED universe justice. I’m incredibly proud at the excellent work our team has done so far and it shows in the solid game play and incredible polish of the little slice we showed press last week. "[1]
The multiplayer beta will begin June 3rd. The way you will gain access to it is through the infamous vouchers, which go on sale May 26th.
Evan also hinted on more things coming to the single player campaign, and to stay tuned.
“We’ll be back soon to talk more about our single player campaign – don’t think for a second we’ve forgotten about that! The rest of our team at Naughty Dog has been hard at work pushing our engine to its limits while creating a campaign that is more expansive and more ambitious than UNCHARTED: Drake’s Fortune. They’ve even learned a few tricks from our multiplayer and co-op development – truly a win-win situation as all aspects of UNCHARTED 2 are benefiting from the work we’re putting into both single player and multiplayer modes.”[2]
