And just when Tiger Airways thought things couldn’t get any worse…

Are you ready for your first taste of one of the year’s most anticipated PS3 exclusives? The Uncharted 3: Drake’s Deception multiplayer beta, which has thus far been restricted to PlayStation Plus members and purchasers of inFAMOUS 2, will be made available to all PSN users from today. By the time the beta concludes on 13 July, you’ll have had access to three maps and nine adversarial and cooperative game modes.

While the original Uncharted was strictly a single player game, the first sequel introduced a number of (generally well received) multiplayer modes. This time around, developer Naughty dog is aiming to transform multiplayer into an “active cinematic experience”. Translation? Expect to encounter a range of extravagant scripted events… over and over again.

Uncharted 3: Drake’s Deception is scheduled for release on PS3 on Thursday 3 November 2011. This is a great time to be an Uncharted fan as a second title, Uncharted: The Golden Abyss is also in the works, this time for the recently announced PSVita.
