Uncharted 3 strikes gold

What do Nathan Drake and Uncharted 3 have in common? They both have a thing for gold. Today, Naughty Dog announced via the PlayStation Blog that development has wrapped on Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception, paving the way for a November 1 release exclusively on the PlayStation 3.

Uncharted 3 will likely go platinum soon, but for now it must settle for going gold.

Along with announcing the game's completion, Naughty Dog also said that new retail copies of Uncharted 3 will come packed with an access voucher for the Starhawk public beta-testing phase. The Starhawk beta is expected to begin in early 2012, and Sony plans to release more information on the online multiplayer test through that game's official website.
Uncharted 3 will focus on protagonist Drake's search for a lost city, with the wily adventurer finding his way to the Arabian Peninsula and its bleak Empty Quarter. In addition to the new multiplayer overhauls, the game will feature stereoscopic 3D capability, new stealth and melee maneuvers, and more.
The game will debut alongside the first novel based on the series, Uncharted: The Fourth Labyrinth. For more on the game, check out GameSpot's previous coverage of Uncharted 3.
