Sony and Naughty Dog are set to release a brand new downloadable content pack for their popular Uncharted 3: Drake’s Deception game, adding four new maps to its multiplayer mode.

Uncharted 3 has impressed millions of PlayStation 3 owners from all around the world back in November of last year, and, since then, developer Naughty Dog has released lots of DLC for it.

After bringing back some fan favorite levels from the first two games earlier this year, a new DLC map pack has been announced by the studio.

It’s set to arrive next week and will include four brand new maps modeled after locations from the game’s single-player campaign.

“Four all-new Uncharted 3 multiplayer maps will be available for download on Tuesday, April 10th on PS Store,” the studio said. “The Graveyard map sets you in motion as you fight among ships and shipping crates on rolling waves. Old Quarter seems like a lovely scene on a cool Yemen night, but it’s full of dangerous alleys and dimly lit rooms. The bar, the back alleys and the broadways of the London Streets map offer some prime spots for a knock-down, drag-out turf war, so be sure to stop by the Pelican Inn for some more brawling. The Oasis map used to provide respite for a Bedouin camp, but now serves as a sun-drenched battlefield for your multiplayer matches.”

Besides featuring some great design, each map will have different dynamic events that happen during the actual multiplayer match, from patrol boats to planes circling overhead.

“We put a lot of love and polish into each map, including new dynamic events that occurs as the match progresses. In Graveyard, a patrol boat will circle the border and launch grenades. In Oasis, a passing plane will drop a shipping crate that can flatten you (or your enemy!) if you don’t make way. If you’re smart enough to stay out of the crate’ shadow, you may score the power weapon that resides inside. London Street and Old Quarter contain dynamic events as well… but we want to leave you a couple big surprises, don’t we?”

The new map pack for Uncharted 3 will be out next week and is going to cost owners of the game $9.99/€9.99. Those who got the Fortune Hunter season pass will get the DLC for free, just like previous add-ons for the game.

Until next week, check out the maps in the video below.
