UPDATE: PR added.

Original Story: God knows how many stories we’ve published since Thursday and now, but at long last, Naughty Dog have announced multiplayer for Uncharted 2: Among Thieves.

Evan Wells of Naughty Dog made the announcment a short time ago on the PS Blog.

The beta will start on June 3rd in the US, no announcement made for the UK or EU yet (HURRY THE FECK UP AND GET BACK TO US ABOUT THAT, SCEE! Plz?) on if we’ll get the beta too. Beta codes will be packed in with copies of inFamous.

“It shouldn’t be a surprise that we had to grow our studio to tackle the task of creating fully-realized multiplayer and co-op modes that would live up to our own high standards and do the UNCHARTED universe justice,” said Wells.

“I’m incredibly proud at the excellent work our team has done so far and it shows in the solid gameplay and incredible polish of the little slice we showed press last week.”.

A trailer was published too, find it here, press release is after the jump..

“We’re very excited about the opportunity to bring WET to all gamers,” said Vlatko Andonov, president of Bethesda Softworks. “Our proven success as a publisher which focuses on select, innovative titles matches up perfectly with WET’s new class of gameplay.”
