Uncharted 2 Getting More Competitive via DLC, Probably Not More Cooperative

As Naughty Dog prepares to release its latest PlayStation 3 exclusive on October 13, the company has confirmed that it will support Uncharted 2 with downloadable content, though the new stuff may be limited to its competitive multiplayer mode.

"What you'll probably see is more of the competitive type: more maps, more modes," designer Justin Richmond told Eurogamer. "The co-op stuff is hugely time-intensive and the size of it--the physical download size--is huge, so that's probably not an option."

A demo sampling the game's co-op and competitive multiplayer, but not its single-player campaign, is currently available as a free download in the PlayStation 3's online store.

"I'm not going to say never," Richmond added, offering a faint sliver of hope to cooperative enthusiasts. "But for the foreseeable future we're not going to be doing that."
