Posted on Nov 25, 2009 - 8:57pm EST

The Thanksgiving holiday is nearly upon us and Naughty Dog wants to give thanks to all their fans. As part of an update to UNCHARTED 2: Among Thieves later this week, a new Multiplayer map will be available for all players at no cost. That’s right, the first downloadable game content we have made available will be Free as a gesture of appreciation!

The new map is called “The Fort” and is a throwback map – it’s based on the “Fortress” chapter of UNCHARTED: Drake’s Fortune. The Fort is a long rectangular map with wide open spaces and excellent flank routes. Can’t take on the enemy head on? Take the tunnels into the basement to get behind the opposing team. There is a shotgun in the center of the map, but look out for people climbing up from below to pull you to your doom. Pay attention to the side room in the crypt, there is an RPG that is ripe for the taking.

“The Fort” will be available in all Competitive Playlists and the Co-op Arena Playlist!

In addition, couple new features will be added to the Multiplayer menu – Leaderboards and a player card. You will be able to check out how you stack up against your friends or where you stand on the Global stats in the following real-time Leaderboards:

* Competitive Wins

* Co-op

* Kills

* Money

As you hop from match to match, the new player card will provide you with a instant snapshot of your vitals: level, competitive wins, kills, money, co-op points and your current booster loadout.

The update is expected to be released on Friday, November 27th.
