Sony has announced the Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception Game of the Year Edition. It includes the game and all 14 additional pieces of DLC. Sony is yet to announce when it will release. 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.

[VanWinkle]

That's how you do a GOTY cover, Mr. Batman.

[BibiMaghoo]

Excellent, I didn't buy any of the DLC and sold my copy of the game. I will pick this up for sure.

[eternaLightness]

Needs more logos!

[Kud Dukan]

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.

[kewlmyc]

Totally didn't see this coming [/sarcasm]

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

[Yoshichan]

Wow, that's one slick cover!

[Khold]

But is the game a 10 out of 10?

[Saty]

Sony announced that the Uncharted series has shifted over 17 million copies across all four games

Four games?

[RyanardoDaVinci]

I wonder if that means no more DLC for U3?...

[MrOogieBoogie]

Somebody totally needs to Photoshop Arkham City's cover onto Uncharted 3's cover.

[TheBioLover]

Take note Warner Bros. Interactive.

[Mama Robotnik]

That's an elegant rerelease cover. Others in the industry, please take note.

[VanWinkle]

Four games?

Golden Abyss, I assume.

[Dibbz]

17 million? Wow I knew Uncharted was popular but that is a shock. Great work ND.

[Kintaro]

Classy cover.

[LiK]

I wonder if that means no more DLC for U3?...

I assume so

[BeautifulMemory]

Aren't donut skins absent in the original version?

[GeoramA]

That boxart is the Mona Lisa compared the Arkham City one :lol

Wish they would put these on PSN already.

[Grisby]

This was all of the season pass stuff right?

I wonder if MS will do this with Gears 3.

[Seda]

Is this game good? The box doesn't say.

[Majine]

Eh, I liked the UC2 GOTY Edition better. Then again, it's all relative to the quality of the games.

[Lion Heart]

Nice sales well deserved. I loved U3 for those on the fence, it's a great game.

[iKeepPlaying]

Please be 40... please be 40.

[inky]

Is this game good? The box doesn't say.

Well, they are not going to put "8/10 - Eurogamer" in the cover now, are they?

[ULTROS!]

Wish we'd get a breakdown on each of the game's sales.

[jett]

Ah the early buyers get fucked in the ass edition.

Also means no more maps, I guess.

[~Devil Trigger~]

TERRIBLE COVER ART!!

Shopped GAF, Fix This!!!!!!!!!!

[jigglywiggly]

7.5 million completions out of 17 million units shipped.

Someone decide if this is good or not.

[Acquiescence]

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.

[SykoTech]

That's how you do a GOTY cover, Mr. Batman.

Yep, my first thoughts as well. First post nails it as usual.

[upJTboogie]

Like the cover. Using my ass as an indication, Golden Abyss probably sold 2 million.

[Takuan]

Will cop @ $20, just like Uncharted 2 GOTY.

Wish we'd get a breakdown on each of the game's sales.

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

17 million shipped isn't bad at all, but it's strange to change the metric considering Sony announced 13 million sales just a few months ago.

Well, there we have it. Pretty darn popular.

[MrPink93485]

7.5 million completions out of 17 million units shipped. Someone decide if this is good or not.

I thought that was just 7.5 million completed on Easy?

[OdysseusVA]

Well, they are not going to put "8/10 - Eurogamer" in the cover now, are they?

lol

[Kagari]

Really nice cover. Gives it that Indiana Jones feel.

Will buy when it hits $30 or so.

[BibiMaghoo]

7.5 million completions out of 17 million units shipped. Someone decide if this is good or not.

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?

[Drencrom]

Ah the early buyers get fucked in the ass edition. Also means no more maps, I guess.

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

Sure man.

[Meier]

I thought that was just 7.5 million completed on Easy?

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

[Carl]

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/

[JaseC]

17 million shipped isn't bad at all, but it's strange to change the metric considering Sony announced 13 million sales just a few months ago.

[gdt]

Mmmmmmm Uncharted.

[Endo Punk]

That's how you do a GOTY cover, Mr. Batman.

i had the same thought on my mind.

[gdt]

7.5 million completions out of 17 million units shipped. Someone decide if this is good or not.

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

[King of the Potato People]

But where's all the 10/10s covering his face?!

[Petrichor]

17 million shipped isn't bad at all, but it's strange to change the metric considering Sony announced 13 million sales just a few months ago.

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

[jigglywiggly]

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?

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.

[90sRobots]

RELIVE THE EXPERIENCE OF

GETTING BORED WITH THE GAME BEFORE CHAPTER 10

AND TRADE IT IN TO GAMESTOP

ALL OVER AGAIN

[OldJadedGamer]

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.

[M.D]

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.
