Uncharted 3 Information Teased December 9, 2010

Uncharted, arguably the biggest series in the PS3’s lineup since the release of Uncharted 2, has gotten a bit of press recently for the rumors that a third game of the series will premiere later this month.

Original reports had it that Uncharted 3 would premiere at the Spike Video Game awards show, and the latest musings is that the game will also get a showing on the Jimmy Fallon Show on the 13th of December.  Why game developers would actually contribute to the VGAs after the farce it’s proven to be year after year is beyond my comprehension (I’ll probably write-up an article about that at some point, but I assure you I’m not alone in my opinion, and if you watched one of these shows you’ll likely share that opinion) but what surprises me further is why they wouldn’t wait for an actual major gaming event to premiere the game, like E3, PAX or TGS.

The latest information was posted (of all places) by Entertainment Weekly, which has the game’s official title as Uncharted 3: Drake’s Deception.  The game will follow series hero Nathan Drake and partner Victor “Sully” Sullivan as he searches the Arabian Desert for the fabled Atlantis of the Sands.

All of this has been confirmed by the Playstation Blog.  Uncharted 3: Drake’s Deception is coming next year exclusive to the PS3.  The game will natively support stereoscopic 3D.

UPDATE:  Here’s the teaser trailer straight from Sony!
