We’ve very happy to announce the release date of Uncharted 3: Drake’s Deception Game of the Year Edition as 19th September 2012.

The DLC list in full, in Sony's words:

* Classic Skins Packs 1 - 3: A huge total of 25 skins for the Uncharted 3 multiplayer experience including fan favourites such as Nathan Drake as he appears in the original Uncharted: Drake's Fortune, or Winter Drake as he appears in Tibet during Uncharted 2: Among Thieves; even minor characters such as Cameraman Jeff make an appearance.
* Multiplayer Accessory Pack: Allows players to play skinned as a Capture Trooper from another PS3 exclusive, Killzone 3. Also includes the ISA and Helghast helmets accessories.
* Flashback Map Packs 1 and 2: Includes eight maps that bring reworked, dynamically improved environments from Uncharted: Drake's Fortune and Uncharted 2: Among Thieves into the multiplayer of Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception.
* Drake's Deception Map Pack: Four new multiplayer maps - The Graveyard, Old Quarter, London Streets, and Oasis - each incorporating its own dynamic events.
* Fort Co-Op Adventure: Additional content for the co-op adventure online game mode, Fort takes players on a journey through the fortress first seen in Uncharted: Drake's Fortune to seek out Nathan Drake.
* Co-Op Shade Survival: Take on wave after wave of some of the toughest enemies from the Uncharted series, the fiery Djinn. This co-op game mode provides a good multiplayer challenge that rewards quite handsomely.
* Doughnut Skin Pack: If you've ever wondered what Sully would look like if he really let himself go, this is the skin pack for you. Five characters from the franchise are depicted in larger-than-life form.
* Rogues Skin Pack 1 and 2: Tired of playing as Nate? Unnamed henchmen and hired goons more your thing? This is what you've been waiting for. Play as 14 minor antagonists from Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception.

Meanwhile, Sony announced that the Uncharted series has shifted over 17 million copies across all four games. That is, as of 13th April 2012, over 17,320,000 Uncharted games had been sold. To accompany the announcement Sony released a fancy infographic revealing a myriad of Uncharted-related statistics.

Excellent...I only played through the first two games a few months ago, and haven't yet played this one, so I'll just pick up this version.

Also, there clearly isn't enough quotes on this box art, they should change it.

17 million spread across 3 (4?) games... I guess that's pretty sweet. We need a break from it now though, so that Naughty Dog can bring the house down with Uncharted 4 as a PS4 launch title.

Same. I'm very curious about the series true popularity.

Well, there we have it. Pretty darn popular.

They may track the completions seperatly as per difficulty level. Those that did it on hard, being different from those that did it on easy?

You mean that devs shouldn't release cheaper versions of their games with added content when there probably is demand of it?

Sure man.

I think you get the trophy for each previous difficulty when beating it.. so that should be indicative of the overall total.

That's an awesome cover. Great to see sales are high for the series - my fave series to come out of this gen.

Also, surprised that only 774,000 crushing runs have been completed/

Apparently, that's amazing. I think games have very low completion rates.

They use the word "sold" in this press release as well.

Not a chance. That'd make over 16 million completions.

Given that Uncharted: Drake's Fortune didn't have trophies for ages, you can pretty much exclude the majority of people who bought it from these figures.

That means the original version will start going for dirt cheap. I missed playing this when it came out due to my Battlefield addiction but now I have time to run through it.

Do you guys really like the cover? Sure, it's not horrible as the Batman cover, but I don't really like it :\

I'd even prefer the Batman cover without all those stupid logos.

Totally going to get this.
